My Project

Paragraph writing is one of the most challenging skills for elementary school students to master. However, it is also one of the most important, as it lays the foundation for becoming proficient writers. The Paragraph of the Week Journal provides students with the tools they need to develop strong writing skills and become confident, effective writers.

Using chart paper, I can model how to write clear and structured paragraphs, helping students understand the essential components of good writing.

Additionally, fidget materials will keep students engaged and focused, creating a more productive learning environment.
