My Project

Ask your neighbor, friend and/or family member if they like to write. I find most people, certainly our students, don't like to write. Seems like everyone has 'writer's block'. Writing, like any skill, takes practice. In class and at home, I want my students writing daily.

My students have an extra challenge as they are learning English in high school.

The more my students read and write, the stronger they become in every subject.

The aim of the supplies in this project are to inspire my students. We play grammar games, we write on white boards and we write in journals. Stickers inspire students at any age. It's true.

Thank you for contributing to this generation of writers!
