My Project

Students who learn new things want to SHARE about their learning through projects! Many of our students come to school with little outside experiences and are ready to soak up information about tons of new things! Using that information to create lasting projects is something we would love to do!

Creating writing products in the form of books they can keep forever is the goal for our students with this project!

I’d love to have help providing this opportunity to my kindergarten class, but also be able to share with our entire school of Pre-K through 5th grade students. Thank you for reading!
