Pencils for Special Occasions

Help me give my students pencils for different seasons, as well as motivational pencils during testing. I am also asking for a new classroom calendar for our calendar time, as well as name plates for the students' desks.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am asking for pencils for special occasions to motivate my students throughout the school year. All of my students in previous years have loved getting a new pencil. By doing pencils with different themes, it motivates them by simply giving them a pencil.

I am also asking for a new calendar.

The one we have now is missing some pieces, so by getting a new calendar, my students can have a more effective calendar time.

I am also asking for name plates to go on my students' desks. These name tags also have learning material, such as a number line and the ABCs on them. They also have other helpful learning materials that my students can have conveniently at their desks.
