Sharpening Away!

Help me give my students sharpeners to bring color and the written word into our classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Caravella's classroom raised $160

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to write, color, and let their creativity flow! Often, throughout the day, students sharpen their pencils. Our sharpener is sometimes loud and distracting and doesn't always work well. We would love a new sharpener so students can continue to work efficiently and let their writing flourish!

Students also love to add creativity to a piece using color!

We love to brighten up our classroom, which is made even more beautiful with student artwork and color on their pieces. However, crayons are quickly ruined and make coloring less exciting for students. A crayon pencil sharpener and colored pencils would help bring life to our classroom! The tape allows us to display their work and fill them with pride!
