Pencils and Eraser

Help me give my students Pencils and Erasers to make for a successful school day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tina Thomas's classroom raised $546

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students get to pick a different pencil and eraser every day. This helps them have a successful school day without having to worry about what they did with their supplies from the day before. Bugs are the big thing now so that the bugs will go into the treasure box for weekly duty prizes.

The cardstock is because I create certificates for quarterly honor roll assemblies for all grades from PK to 5th, end-of-year promotion certificates for PK, KD, and 5th grade ceremonies, and club certificates for every student who participates in a club.
