Pencils and Snacks!

Help me give my students a pencil sharpener. We need one so bad in our classroom. Also we only get snacks 3 days a week. We need a snack to get us through the day. Thank you!

My Students

My students are very challenging this year! We need lots of extra love. We are still adjusting to each other after 3 months! We are working hard though on our reading and getting better and better each day! Our behavior is a challenge but our grades and work ethic is phenomenal.

My Project

A pencil sharpener will be very useful. I asked my school for one and they did not provide. We sharpen pencils 3 and 4 times a day, We need a good sharpener to help us read and write better. We also use lots of pencils. One of the classroom lesson we are continuously working on is taking care of our things. We also only get snacks 3 days a week. This is just not enough. Some of my students come from challenging homes and I know they are very hungry.
