Without Pencils We Struggle
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Carraway's classroom raised $224
This project is fully funded
My Project
Stuggle to do what you might be asking your self. Struggle, to write. My students are always desperately in need of pencils. We use pencils in all components of our learning.
Students on a daily basis are not completing work, because they do not have any pencils. It is a sad feeling when students do not have these basic tools at home, and to just do homework they are asking for pencils to take home.
When students have these basic tools they will be less combative and more eager to learn, as nothing will be there to hinder them from getting started with their work.
This classroom project was brought to life by Kleenex
and 3 other donors.
