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
A supply of sharpened pencils will make our classroom lessons go smoothly every day. When a student raises their hand and asks for a pencil because their pencil point broke, or they need an eraser, or they ran out of lead, I love being able to immediately hand them a replacement pencil without having to waste instructional time. A couple of months ago, I purchased a box of 1,000 pencils and we are already down to the last few pencils in the box. Our classroom sharpener also broke last week prompting an even faster rate of pencil dispensation. This sharpener and supply of pencils will take us to the end of this school year.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
