Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students and I must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in writing. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students in wanting to use lead mechanic pencils. Students in my classroom like to write. My students would love mechanical pencils so they would not have to worry about sharpening their pencils.

Providing these mechanic pencils will help my students to be successful in the classroom.

My desk needs materials to help organize my classroom. The desk organizer will enhance my classroom from being cultered.

Grades 9-12
