My Project

The thing that makes my students special is the way they are enthusiastic about learning, and improving their writing skills. My goal is to see their technique of writing become more proficient.

These items for my project will help my students gain sustenance while working, due to having supplies needed and required.

Also, my students are productive and disciplined writers. Since they are self-sufficient when it comes to learning the next Genre of writing, they each come to class daily with a willing attitude to produce stimulating essays. Upon the storm, some students will have an enormous destructive impact within their homes. The students will be using the pencils/highlighters to annotate the story they are reading and to write their essay. Notebook paper will be used for students to complete class assignments, and notebooks will be used for students to write their essays. Making anchor charts is what the chart paper will be used for within the classroom. The binder clips will be used to keep the paper of each class separated and organized. Snacks and water will be put on a snack cart for students, and the microwave will be used for students to warm their food.
