My Project

Hello I have the pleasure of teaching 42 kindergartners (two classes) literacy and writing! I took a chance on signing up for the Student Treasures Publishing to write our very own book to encourage them. Many of my students came this year with pre-writing skills or less. Drawing pictures has been difficult, but after sharing this with this special project seemed to motivate them. I also had a 4th grader from our school to come and read her book to them. Seeing her drawings and writing helped them realize that they too could become writers. This time of the year we need to replenish our writing supplies and help inspire new creative writing pieces. What better way to do that than with color and tools to help improve handwriting and ability for some!

The 3 Kinder Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf is the title they have settled on!

They loved reading the different versions of the original Three Little Pigs and wanted to put their spin on it. However, as stated before many still need help from forming letters firmly to just being inspired to more detailed settings and characters.

The fine motor activities in this project will support our friends with learning differences. These materials will empower them to have more input with the pencil grippers and pre-writing activities. We can't wait to put up our chalkboard poster paper to inspire colorful characters. This will encourage them to do more descriptive writing when creating scenes and characters. Of course they also get to have more fun while writing and hopefully inspired to do more at home as well.

Our goal is to get our book published and returned by June 1st and continue to develop their writing skills and be ready for 1st grade.

Please consider us today!
