Welcome to TEAM 106!! We are 3rd graders at Williams School, located on the South side of Chicago. Writing is one of our favorite things to do. We like to write stories, letters, poems, riddles, and everything in between. However, writing is very hard (in case you didn't know) and we need to practice our writing strategies every day. That is why we are asking for your help. We would love to have resources available to help us become life-long writers. We are asking for someone to donate some writing center activities. "Recipes for Good Writing" is one of the activities. This would allow us to learn and practice good writing strategies. We are also in need of some writing overhead activities. These activities will help us develop our skills. The last resource we need is the "Write and Publish" center. We will use this center to put together everything we have learned and publish our writing. We really appreciate your time and generosity. Thank you for reading our proposal. GO TEAM 106!!!
