Studies have shown that physically writing helps students retain information and improve skills, but providing the materials to practice this can be costly for teachers. By helping me with this project, you will be helping students practice their writing skills by providing them with the tools they need to succeed (pens, pencils, glue, paper). While these tools might seem to be inexpensive, many students come to school without these essentials, so I often need to provide them for the students who need them most. Additionally, I want my students to practice more reflection on their skills and how they can be most effective and successful in their goals for school and life beyond school. These resources will help my students reflect and practice their academic skills to make them the best versions of themselves.
