First Grade Authors

Help me give my students writing tools to express their ideas and interest when using their composition books. With the sheet protectors and whiteboard markers my first graders can help each other edit their work and provide feedback.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I teach very enthusiastic first graders. They are in a program in which students are taught literacy and content in two languages.

First grade is a pivotal year for learning basic reading and my group will be doing it in two languages!

My Project

First graders have so much to say and are learning how to do so in writing. In order to help them develop their writing skills they need to be provided with different tools to practice. With their draw and write journal, my first graders can draw out their ideas with details and this will guide their writing.

By donating to my project you are helping my first graders learn how to organize and present their thoughts in writing.

My students can go through the writing process, meaning they think about what they want to write, draw a picture, write down their first ideas, look back over their work to fix mistakes, and then add details.
