My Project

One of my favorite subjects to teach is writing. Young writers show so much growth from the beginning of the year to the end. It's so much fun to watch them blossom as they become more and more confident as authors and illustrators.

Help me motivate my young writers with new writing materials for our writing center!

These engaging materials will help their fiction and nonfiction writing projects come to life as they create something they can be proud to show off to their peers, teachers and parents during our publishing parties.
