My Project

My first graders are always in need of regular writing pencils. We go through so many pencils during the school day. We constantly use pencils in reading, writing, math, and all content subject areas. Of course, the more we use pencils, the more the need for heavy-duty pencil sharpeners becomes apparent!!! I am often purchasing electric pencil sharpeners to help us in the classroom.

My students need regular pencils, heavy-duty pencil sharpeners, and coloring pencils.

My class loves to use coloring pencils instead of crayons. We go through so many pencils because we work so hard.

I hope you will decide to support my first graders in becoming successful in school by joining us in sending these supplies to my classroom.
