My Project

Let's face it writing can get messy, as we brainstorm, draft, revise, edit and finally publish! While the end results are always worth it we need to keep our materials and thoughts organized. Our new binders can help us keep track of the chaos that comes from our brilliant characters we create, those we read about and learn from as well as anchors that help us along the way. We love all things ELA but we need your help becoming more organized students.

My students enjoy writing and learning about the world around them both in the past and present, however material management has been hard.

Please help us by supporting us to get these materials in order to continue to be stronger writers and readers.
