My Project

Last week a senior asked to borrow a pen, and I told him to help himself from the supply table in the front of the classroom. After he grabbed a basic black pen and returned to his seat, I heard a lot of whispering coming from his side of the room. As it turns out, this student was amazed that I was offering brand new pens for students who needed them.

"I mean, it even has the bally thing on the tip!" he told his classmates.

For most of us, a new pen is not a reason to celebrate, but that's not the case for this student and others like him. Last year I read an astounding statistic that teachers go through 60 pencils a month. I don't think that many disappear from my classroom each month, but we sure do use a lot of writing utensils and other classroom supplies.

In addition to the classroom basics, I'm requesting packs of gum to share with my students. The National Library of Medicine published a study in 2015 that suggests chewing gum may increase productivity and concentration. I've done a few very unscientific studies in my classroom and have anecdotal evidence to support these claims. When students chew gum, they are less distracted by external stimuli and focus on the task.
