My Project

My students need adequate pencil sharpeners and spiral notebooks to expand our working ability. The spiral notebooks will be used for developing our writing skills and keeping notes for ELA and Reading.

Having 6 classes a day definitely wears on pencil sharpeners.

Having 2 electric ones will speed up the process enabling us to move on quicker. The large pencils are for kids to borrow when they can't find theirs. Using the large pencils is a fun way to try and get the kids to not carry off my shared pencils.

Sometimes the kids need scissors to complete projects that they are working on. I have very few scissors that they can use. We need some.

The teacher material books will be used to grow our knowledge with practice.
