My Project

In our busy 3rd grade math classroom, pencils are one of the most-used tools, and we go through them quickly! To keep our students prepared and focused, we’re requesting pencils, pencil cap erasers, and a reliable pencil sharpener.

These simple yet essential supplies will ensure our learners can write, solve problems, and complete assignments without unnecessary interruptions.

Your support will help keep our classroom running smoothly and support student success every day. With sharpened pencils and erasers ready to go, students can stay engaged and confident in their learning. Thank you for considering our project and helping us build a strong foundation for success!
