My Project

Highlighters, copy paper, and pencils are important tools in a 6th grade ELA classroom. Highlighters help students identify key details, main ideas, and important vocabulary while reading stories, articles, and other texts. By highlighting important information, students can better understand what they read and easily find evidence to support their answers during discussions and writing assignments. Highlighters also encourage active reading, which helps improve comprehension and critical thinking skills.

Copy paper, highlighters and pencils are essential for daily classroom activities.

Students use copy paper for writing essays, completing graphic organizers, taking notes, and participating in creative writing projects. Pencils allow students to draft, edit, and revise their work, which is an important part of the writing process. Because mistakes can be easily erased, pencils help students feel more confident when practicing new skills. Together, copy paper and pencils provide students with the materials they need to express their ideas, develop strong writing habits, and succeed in English Language Arts.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
