This year my students are becoming awesome writers. We are creating writing projects every week. My students need to have pencils and erasers to create. They also need their own personal space. Often times you think better in a quiet setting with just you but my students do not have that opportunity to have that personal space because we are in the classroom. Having the privacy shields will help them with the personal space they would need to be awesome writers. I want to encourage them to be critical thinkers. They will be able to pull from within themselves and use their thoughts to create something to be proud of.
