The students who attend our school are excited about learning each day! They come to us from many different types of homes. Some students are living with extended families, single parents or a two parent homes. Most families struggle financially and are not able to supply school supplies for their children. This makes it difficult to complete projects in the classroom without the help of the community. Students typically are not able to receive the help they need with their writing at home. This makes it even more important to me to be able to reach the students while they are at school. I am constantly looking for ways to make writing fun, exciting and meaningful to my students. I want them to have a voice! All students can be successful at writing, even the struggling readers. Every child has a story to share. They just need help putting the story on paper.
