My Project

My students are a group of energetic and happy learners who thrive with organization. These tubs, rolling cart and writing dictionaries will help them from start to finish when tackling a writing assignment. It will be easier to have what they need to be successful at their fingertips while working hard. I am hoping to use the rolling card for pencils, erasers, markers and colored pencils which are helpful when writing and illustrating one’s work while the bins will be organizational tools to help each pod of students with their books and folders. Lastly the dictionaries will help students while writing and they also have plenty of spots to add words under each alphabet letter so they can grow their vocabulary. I’m excited for these as they look professional and will help my students with the writing process. Having special tools will aide the process and help them believe that they can do hard things! They have the tools and tools are there to help support you, just like I am.
