My Project

My first graders love to write! They are creative and have wonderful imaginations. My students all have different writing abilities and the items I am requesting will give them a comfortable and organized space in our classroom to take risks and inspire them to become future authors.

My goal for this project is to create a space in my classroom that will provide my students with the writing supplies they need to grow and develop into confident young writers.

The writing paper, stickers, journals, and lined story journals will encourage my first grade students to write about the things that they want to write about.

Some children enjoy writing chapter books about nonfiction topics while others prefer to create stories utilizing their creativity and imaginations. My students are inspired to write about the world that they live in. These materials will give them the tools they need to share their writing talents with the world.
