Pencils for Everyone!

Help me give my students sharpened pencils and a cleaner classroom learning environment!

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.

Thank you!

Ms. Moore Forest Park Senior High School 406 Grades 9-12
