My Project

Hello!! I am working and planning for the fall of 2023. I am planning to spend a great deal of time teaching the mechanics of letter formation, and proper sentence structure, and create a love of writing.

With your help, this project will provide primary writing journals, an easel pad, special pencils, writing tools, and chart paper.

All necessary supplies to teach writing in a primary classroom.

Thank you for always supporting my classroom and my students. With your continuous support, we are changing the world, one class at a time. Thank you. -Mrs. Taylor
