My Project

Please help me provide a pencil tray for my students with erasers, highlighters, pencils, and other supplies for each child.

My students are always losing their supplies.

Whenever I say, "please take out a pencil," they are digging in their desks hoping to find one or running to the pencil cup to get a new one. I want to make this process much more efficient. I plan to use velcro strips to mount the pencil trays on top of their desks. Students will keep pencils, erasers, and highlighters in the tray so they always know right where to find them. This will help us avoid any lost of learning due to endless searching in desks. Thank you for supporting our project.
