Writing is a daily activity in our classroom. Students in kindergarten begin their writing journey through drawing pictures and labeling. It progresses to adding letters and words as students advance through the year. My students need the basic building blocks to set them up for success in writing. Each student will use their seat sack to keep all of their materials including their writing journals, crayons, and pencils. The tri-write pencils help emerging writers learn how to properly hold a pencil and form letters. By donating to our project, you will allow aspiring authors to begin their life long love of writing. With your generous donation students will have the tools needed to spark and develop their writing skills. In this technology fueled world in which we live, the need for skilled writers with the ability to put pen to paper is imperative.
