My Project

I am the reading coach and teacher in a beautiful school in Miami, Florida. Most of my students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and many come from various parts of the world!

My primary-grade students who represent students from kindergarten to second grade, need to improve their handwriting skills, which require stationery and pencils/pencil grips that cater to their developing hands.

I am requesting three sets of 500 sheets of Pacon handwriting paper (500 sheets for each grade level), 12 boxes of Ticonderoga tri-write wooden pencils, and 8 boxes of JuneLsy pencil grips to help my primary grade students improve their handwriting skills.
