My Project

A vibrant array of colored pens can spark a cascade of equally vivid ideas, transforming mundane thoughts into a spectrum of possibilities. In our everyday study skills class, students need to express their emotions, feelings, ideas, and experiences in writing. I wish for them not just merely to hear through hearing the echoes of their heart but also to read their mind, body, and spirit. Putting their thoughts into words for a long and lasting remembrance and evidence, that they are really highly efficient and literate learners.

Above all the pen is mightier than the sword.

Ms. Guillermo will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 18.
