My Project

Let’s make writing fun! I’m building a creative and exciting writing unit to inspire my third graders to fall in love with storytelling. With engaging lessons, colorful supplies, and interactive writing activities, this project will help students express themselves, develop their voices, and build confidence in their writing. From brainstorming silly stories to publishing their own “books,” in my classroom, I strive to turn writing time into a highlight of our day. With your help, we can bring imagination to life and make every student feel like a real author!
