Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Please help supply my class with a hole puncher and paper cutter. We are in need of an electric hole puncher. This will allow papers to be punched quicker with out being unaligned. This would reduce waste an make the process quicker.

The paper cutter would allow us to quickly make straight crisp cuts when we are trying to divide or use fewer sheets for multiple students.

I try to save paper by making booklets for note taking and strategy use. By cutting the pages in half of fourths makes the process a lot faster and neater.
