The Case of the Missing Pencils

Help me give my students supplies they need daily such as pencils, folders to help them stay organized, and Expo markers so that we may engage in learning activities using our whiteboards.

My Project

The students I serve struggle with organization and maintaining, holding on to their supplies.

Pencils are a hot commodity as they are easily dropped, forgotten, or leant out.

Folders are a huge help for the students when it comes to keeping their papers together for specific classes. The additional supplies allow us to engage in learning activities without going through multiple trees in the form of notebook paper. Additionally, the students enjoy doing activities using the dry erase and vis a vis markers. With one piece of cardstock, each page protector becomes an individualized white board for the students.
