My Project

My students are eager learners but we are short on supplies. Pencils are a basic but essential tool in our classroom. They are used for everything from writing assignments to drawing diagrams. Pencils allow students to easily correct mistakes, which is important for learning and improving their skills. Having enough pencils ensures that every student has the opportunity to participate fully in all classroom activities.

Highlighters are equally important.

They will be used by students to highlight key information in texts and notes. This is helpful for organizing their thoughts and studying more effectively. Different colors can be used to categorize information, making it easier for students to understand and remember key concepts.

The main goal of this project is to provide each student with the tools they need to succeed. By having their own pencils and highlighters, students can take an active role in their learning process. These tools will help them develop important skills like note-taking, studying, and organizing information, which are essential for their academic success.

Thank you for your support!
