Keeping Our Screens Clean, and Pencils Sharp

Help me give my students screen cleaners because we have shared, touch screen computers and are not provided screen wipes to sanitize them. We also need a sharpener for the classroom (I do teach math).

My Project

Good day to all. I am a teacher with 22 years of experience. I teach four grade seven Mathematics classes; two ICT/ELL's, one beginner English Language Learners, and one self contained.

The demographics is my school are extremely mixed.

We have low income housing directly across the street and many students come from that housing project. Because of the location to migrate shelters, we also have a large percentage of migrant students and many live in temporary housing.

I have touch screen computers that are shared amongst four classes daily. The screens get very dirty because many students interact using the touch screen.

I am also requesting a sharpener for the classroom as well. I am constantly giving out number 2 pencils and most require sharpening.

As donation is greatly appreciate.
