My Students

Childhood should be COLORFUL and fun and exciting. My students LOVE to write and design but our resources are very limited. We need supplies to help us write and illustrate our own books!

My students are AWESOME!

They are spirited and creative and love to learn. I work in a Title One school in a somewhat rural area. We have a very large percentage of bilingual and ESL learners. The great majority of my students are living well below the poverty line and were unable to bring in all the supplies we asked for on our supply list. With school budgets being what they are, we are working with the bare minimum of art and writing supplies.

My Project

Writers write constantly. It is what makes them better. My students LOVE to write and are constantly making books. They make them out of whatever they can find in the room, which is usually notebook paper and pencils. I would love to fill their hands with beautiful art supplies - paints, markers, glitter pens, actual writing paper, bright construction paper... I know that it would motivate them to create more and more. It would help us create a library of our own writing.

I think it is important to inspire creativity and the the love of writing in all students.

To do this, students need to have the right tools to use. Once students have the right materials in their hands, they have the ability to put wings on their ideas.
