My Project

My 5th graders are immersed in reading and writing every day. One of the most BASIC needs of young writers is the tools to write! We need erasable pens, pencils, a laminator, pencil sharpener, white out, and pen holders to help create charts and notes, and to help revise & edit, organize, and plan our writing. A laminator is crucial for their tool kits. Papers are constantly getting lost or ripped. A laminator will allow us to laminate the important resources we provide our students to help them access this very rigorous curriculum. Today, 5th graders are expected to annotate complex texts, write different kinds of essays, write news reports and stories! The level of their writing is going to be pushed this year as we prepare them for middle school. In order to feel empowered,​ they need the necessary tools to make writing feel fun and easy!

Most of my students truly enjoy writing and love giving each other feedback to improve- we need your help for ALL of our students to feel empowered to write!

We are also switching classrooms this year for math and ela! We need drawstring backpacks to organize our belongings for each class.
