My Students

My students come to school to learn the essentials to become successful adults. They may come from Spanish-speaking homes or English-speaking homes, but each and every one of my students come to school to learn.

Our students strive to do the best they can, by challenging and pushing themselves to do well.

My students come from very diverse backgrounds, which makes our classroom the perfect place for debates, discussions, and hands-on activities. Diversity leads to different views on each topic we cover throughout the year.

My Project

My students come to school to learn every day, but when they are missing a pencil it can cause them to not be prepared to do the daily lessons of writing and their grammar sheets. It can throw their entire day off.

I need to have an abundance of pencils in my classroom that stays in my classroom, allowing each of my students to use each period they come in.

These pencils would be in containers for the students to use, at the end of the period the pencils would go back into the container for the next class to use.

Students not having to worry about where to find a pencil will only help in their learning as they can focus on the learning and not the "how am I going to do the work with no pencil?"
