My Project
Every student needs to use pencils in every class, and every student deserves a clean learning environment. However, the last thing a student should worry about is whether or not they have a pencil to use to complete the day's classwork, and the last thing a teacher should worry about is how to tidy-up their space.
Some teachers may ask students to exchange personal items for pencils so they return them, but here's an opportunity for you to help give students a pencil to use whenever they need it, without question or embarrassment.
Much of the work done in classrooms today is computer-based, but for students of English as a second language, there is a connection students need to make that comes from hand-written work. I am also asking for a broom to help keep random pencil shavings and dust off my classroom floor.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
