My Project

I am requesting materials to help my first-grade students improve their writing skills. Due to the pandemic, my students missed early childhood daily drawing and writing opportunities. Daily writing is essential in early childhood classrooms. It promotes reading, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and a method to develop meaning.

To get my first graders on the "write" track, I am requesting materials that spark a love of writing through choice of materials, flexible seating, and independence.

With daily writing, my students will have a step in the "write" direction toward becoming fluent writers.
