My Students

When you are done, you've just begun! This is a common theme in my classroom of writers. My students create and publish books. But who wants to staple their published books? It gets old. These materials would allow my students to create more professional pieces of literature.

During writing, I have some students who never stop writing.

I also have students who are reluctant. These students have such great ideas but it is hard for them to overcome the obstatcle of getting their ideas down on paper. Making our books look more professional will help all student in the classroom.

My Project

As students finish their stories, I will have he ability to immediately transform it into an actual book using this binding machine. Students will be able to share their stories with the school library, parents, and their friends without worrying about staples/staplers.

This project will make an impact in our Writer's Workshop.

Imagine not having to hear the slam of the stapler while writing. Imagine students creating books that they are proud of.
