My Project

Both pencil sharpeners that were received in the beginning of the year have been broken. Half of the headphones have been broken from normal everyday wear and tear.

We do a lot of handwriting assignments, and my students are always needing to sharpen pencils.

Sometimes, the sharpeners get knocked over and broken unfortunately. As for the headphones, they help students listen to assignments or to block out classroom noise in order to concentrate better.

Both of these items may seem like non-necessities. However, we've been without them for months now and it's become quite noticeable.
