My Project

My students strive to hone their reading and writing craft thought the year. They shape their narratives and learn how to interpret the diverse texts we read. Students frequently share their work and collaborate on stories, learning from and bouncing ideas off of each other.

The students I teach are strong and inspirational young readers and writers.

Publishing and sharing student work is an important part of the writing process in the classroom. Students will use the markers that I have requested to create artwork to accompany their original work.

In the classroom, students hang their work on the bulletin boards for their peers to read. Having push pins and bulletin board paper will help create a great space for students' work to be displayed.

Your donation helps to create a space for students to display their work proudly.
