Dear Pam,
Just thought I’d drop you a note about the success of our penmaking module at the 7th and 8th grade level. Students really enjoy turning out quality pens and pencils. My co-teacher (Ken) and I started doing this module this year in our technology classes. The students have really responded well to it. So well, that the four other middle schools in our town are also going to include it in their curriculum. We ordered several hundred dollars of material and supplies from Penn State Industries this school year, and we are very happy with everything we received. We are always looking for exciting new ideas for our technology education classes. We really appreciate this one.
Thanks,
