My Project

Hello there,

What I love most about my students are their tenacity, perseverance, and willingness to be introduced to the unknown whether it is through writing or discovering what they could be.

We are advocates of students going to college and we know the importance of being a strong writer. The first graders are at the beginning stages of writing and the fifth graders are learning to draft and publish writing pieces that gain interest of their readers. I am requesting a 10 Notebook HBCU Bundle, Double Sided Dry Erase Lap Boards and Dry Erase Markers. These resources will definitely jumpstart the basic to more advance writing of the students.
