My Project

Writing is a great form of self expression. Writing is something we will all do for the rest of our lives. As my students learn the fundamentals of writing, we do lots of practicing on white boards. It warms my heart to see a student find the right adjective to describe their day in a sentence or nearly craft out a letter to form a word. Practicing writing along with reading exercises using whiteboards and pens trains their brain muscle to grow and love learning.

Lastly, having the option to be hands on with their workload using erasers and dry erase markers allows for mistakes and learn with grace.

They just glow when they connect to learning.
