Pencils, Pencils and More Pencils

My Project

Pencils, where do they go? My students are constantly sharpening their pencils and with some pencils being low quality they go through them in a week. Working on a Title 1 school, we cannot keep receiving pencils for our students, hence we are in need of a great quality pencil which is the Ticonderoga pencil!

My students would love to have pencils to write their daily learning.

As an adult I didn't realize how crucial such a simple writing tool could make a difference in a child's life. As a teacher, pencils are like gold! My students would be able to write their research projects, math problems, and learn so much more with a Ticonderoga pencil. I have also included erasers in this project.
