My Project

My class loves writing about their daily lives and illustrating their pages! We have been working hard on how to write and sound out words.

We would love to have more pencils and crayons for our classroom.

Each student would receive their own special container for their crayons which would help them to be more organized and accountable for their own personal supplies.

These students have been working hard learning letters and their sounds this year, by getting their supplies they will be able to put their hard work to practice as they write!
