My Project

These items encourage and allow my students to participate in creative writing and drawing. We do a lot of writing with dry erase markers, honing our sentence writing skills. Other items strengthen young hands and fingers, encouraging the development of fine motor skills.

Kindergartners use a lot of crayons, markers, pencils.

I love to encourage my students to put pen to paper and create! Ample supplies so that my students can draw, write and create to their hearts content will keep learning fun.

Working at a Title I school, this support means a lot to me and my families.

Mrs. Kinsey John Fiske Elementary School Grades PreK-2
