My Project

My class always begins with a written do now or an entrance card. Some students begin their work and some do not. I now realize that it is because many do not have a pencil to write with. While some students ask for a pencil, others do not.

I want there to be a place in the classroom where students can just get up and get one if they did not bring one with them.

I want it to be easily accessible and in more than one place in the room. The pencils and the dispensers will help my students be set up for success.
