Are You Ready to Write?

Help me give my students a love for writing that will last a lifetime.

My Project

My first graders love working in centers but the writing center is not their favorite. They have a hard time getting started and just coming up with ideas for stories. Since we have returned from the pandemic writing skills are a struggle. Not only are they struggling with ideas for stories to write but many are just having trouble holding the pencil and it all just makes writing no fun.

Writing can be fun!

The materials I am asking for include a complete writing center with plenty of exciting prompts and grippers to make holding a pencil correctly fun.
