My Project

Pencils, pencils, pencils!

In our Montessori classroom, we are trying to get students back to basics with pencil and paper.

Students spend so much time on technology, and we know that they learn better and retain more knowledge when they write themselves.

Somehow, this year, we are already out of pencils! We could use more pencils and pencil sharpeners to freshen up our supply.

We also are entering big project season! Students will be working on a lot of trifolds and dioramas, and as such need permanent markers to go over all their writing on displays.

We appreciate you considering us with this basic but necessary project!
