This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I have a large but engaged group of 6th grade kids that love to complete assignments with mechanical pencils. My students usually get themselves ready for school and tend to forget basic school supplies like pencils. Due to COVID-19 my pencil sharpener will be out of use due to possible contamination of germs not to mention constantly sharpening pencils take away from instruction time and planning. We would like several hundred mechanical pencils!
My Project
Being a Social Studies teacher during a pandemic is understanding that tour students are living through a moment in time that needs to be document and learned from in order to understand the importance of historical events. Students will use these mechanical pencils for writhing assignments such as: current events, bellringers, remote note taking, journal entries, essay brainstorming, map skills, homework quizzes and test. Something as simple as having a pencil that doesn't constantly needs sharpening goes a long way with students especially when some don't have something as simple as a pencil they like. One would be surprised the confidence a student can have from a great pencil!
