Awesome Authors

Help me give my students Writing Process folders to help organize our writing and guide us through the process. Students will greatly benefit from using these 4 pocket folders to help store their drafts, edits and published pieces.

My Students

My students are a bright, eager to learn bunch of young scholars. They love school and are eager to explore ELA and social studies in a welcoming, organized and inviting classroom environment.

My students attend school in an inner city classroom with limited resources and materials.

Our district has experienced great financial setbacks, but we as a school community have gone through great lengths to never make the students feel that we don't have what they need to be successful learners.

Most of the necessary materials we need are purchased with the teachers money out of their own pocket. It has become quite a hardship just to supply our classrooms with the essentials like pencils, crayons, and paper every year.

My Project

My students are using Lucy Calkins Reading & Writing Workshop to build a love of reading and writing. My students have achieved great success in developing a love and appreciation of what the program has to offer. We are in the process of starting to build our writing stamina.

My students would love a place to store and organize their ideas, drafts, edits and published pieces.

The writing folders provide this space for my students. I am confident if provided with the necessary resources and support my students will develop into awesome authors exceeding my high expectations for their success.
