My Project

The products I have selected will assist the special education and ELL student population.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.

The sketchbook will serve as a meaning-making tool and provide students with ideas and images for later writing assignments. Words will be added to or incorporated into the sketches will demonstrate the processes of thinking, planning, and discovering that students use and provided needed vocabulary.

By implementing this model, my students will begin to see themselves as true authors and illustrators. We will use these materials to aid us in the process of becoming life-long writers. Yet I truly need your support to make this a reality. Thanks!
