My Project

Our students are ready to learn math but often don't have the basic necessary materials like pencils and erasers.

A lot of our students come to the school from far away and when they finally get here it would be a shame that they can't do their work because they are missing a pencil.

'Cause I Ain't Got a Pencil

I woke myself up

Because we ain't got an alarm clock

Dug in the dirty clothes basket,

Cause ain't nobody washed my uniform

Brushed my hair and teeth in the dark,

Cause the lights ain't on

Even got my baby sister ready,

Cause my mama wasn't home.

Got us both to school on time,

To eat us a good breakfast.

Then when I got to class the teacher fussed

Cause I ain't got no pencil.
