My Project

Pencils are on top of each school supply list and are used daily in the classroom. Little learners are just beginning to develop their fine motor skills and learn how to handle school supplies. Ticonderoga Pencils provide students with the ability to learn to write proper grip and hand movements.

Dry Erase Markers will help students practice skills such as writing with a creative flair.

This will allow them to trace their name, the alphabet, or be placed at a center to explore different means of writing in colored ink. Colored ink will help a student learn with better understanding when print comes to life in color.

The goal for my students is to have two essential items in the classroom to help them explore writing in creative ways. The pencils will help them gain confidence as they learn to grip a pencil properly to begin writing. The colored dry erase markers will help them trace or write something repeatedly without the use of paper.

My students are so special to me and I would like to be able to provide them with the best resources to improve their learning experience in the classroom.
