My Project

The materials for this project will help my students tap into their natural born talent to write and tell stories. The chart paper and sticky notes will help us go through the writing process together. The binding machine and lamination will allow students to make their own "real" books. The dot markers and books will help students get creative and add artwork to their stories. The books will help students with the sounds made by letters when spelling and practice the skills needed to meet the standards. The pencils will give students tools in which to get their ideas out.
