My Project

I am requesting pencils for my students. As a language teacher, teaching my students how to effectively and efficiently communicate with others is essential. In a world where one can connect with with a friend across the globe faster than ever before, the ability to communicate using proper grammar techniques is especially important. With these pencils, we will practice our writing skills with a number of activities, including writing letters to students from other schools across the globe. I appreciate your help in building my students' communication skills and improving their writing capability!
