Keep Calm and Write On!

My students need a writing center table. When students are surrounded by the supplies of writers they begin to act like writers.

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 am blessed to teach 20 second grade gifted students who are in the EFL program (Extended Foreign Language), in a neighborhood school in an urban part of Florida.

My students have a wide variety of learning needs and challenges.

My students are eager to learn. They are dreamers, thinkers, talkers, and questioners. They like to move, they love to read and love lots of positive attention.

My students walk into our classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them that day. I ask them, "Who is the best second grade class in the whole world?" and they reply, "We are!" I want them to know I believe in them and they can do anything.

My Project

With your donation, I will be able to set up a successful writing center that keeps students of all ability levels on task. The 8 storage cubbies are perfect for holding paper, pencils, crayons and anything else kids need to get creative. Plus, the center is adjustable in height—so supplies are only an arm’s reach away and accessible from either side!

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student engagement, you will ultimately help to increase the quality of their writing!

Having this writing table in my classroom will afford me the opportunity to keep students engaged throughout the year with a variety of meaningful activities. Students will have the ability to choose from a variety of flexible writing activities.
