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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 Project

Sometimes, it seems as if my students are eating their pencils or they just keep falling off the face of Earth. My students love to sharpen their pencils a few times a day. Each student is given 2-3 pencils a month. Each student has a different colored tape wrapped around their pencil. It worked well at the beginning of the school year. Now, I have a lot of students losing their pencils with the colored tape.

I'm running out of the best pencils ever made, "Ticonderoga." I need more of these pencils to finish out the school year.

This brand doesn't leave dark spots or smudged marks, and it doesn't tear when students are using their easers. I hope that you can continue to help my students have quality pencils to use daily.
