Pencils and Erasers are Vital to my Students’ Succeeding

Help me give my students pencils so they can succeed in the classroom. They need pencils to begin their assignments as they walk in class.

My Project

My students are very hard working and rely heavily on pencils and erasers to be successful in the classroom. Help me have the necessary supplies to make learning fun. Pencils and erasers are simple supplies that we need to continue to have success in our classroom. My students need quality pencils and erasers to continue their daily work. A pencil sharpener will keep their pencils sharpened for them to continue their educational journey. They use a pencil sharpener several times daily to keep their pencils sharpened. Working in small groups with pencil and paper makes learning more effective for my students. They can work toward grasping the skill on paper then transfer it to other learning environments. This allows them to be successful.
