My Project

We are the cool kids and we like cool things! We are in need of writing tools to create stories and do our best with the writing process. We need pencils and dry erase markers to make our day better when we write. We need paper to create those never before read stories, books, and pals notes.

Please help us as we want to be the coolest writers on the block by donating to our classroom supply list of cool writing tools.

The goal of our project is to increase writers who like to write!
