I am truly grateful and inspired every time I see my students' working together and utilizing their supplies while sharpening each other's minds in my Math class.\r\n\r\nMy students are also thankful that there are pencils available for them to use in my class anytime. They do not have to trade in their IDs or something valuable to get a pencil from a teacher and get their assignments done in class.
