Working With Words

Help me give my students materials to help them develop as readers and writers. Students need easel pads to make posters that we can display. They also need supplies to close read text, like highlighters and post-it notes.

My Students

Our middle school students are from urban, rural, and suburban areas. On the first day I walked in the building as a substitute teacher many years ago, I saw a sign about the doors that said, "The greatest students in the world go to school here." Several minutes later as I tried to make my way around the building a student asked me if she could escort me to the correct classroom. In the years since that day, I have continued to believe that all of our students are the best and they deserve the best.

Thank you for giving our students the chance to be the best with your generous donations.

I know with your help and support our students can continue to learn and thrive.

My Project

My students do a lot of reading and writing during the year. We start out by learning how to close read texts by annotating. The transparent post-its will be a huge help when students cannot write directly in the book. Students will also benefit from being able to write on clipboards when they are in groups and participating in stations. Writers will need highlighters, white out tape, and pencils to complete their work. Finally, students will be able to chart their learning and share it by using the large easel pad paper. Since this is sticky we can stick these posters on the wall and continue to work on them throughout the year. All of these materials will help students in reading and writing activities.
