Beautiful Calligraphy Pens for Aspiring Writers

My students need calligraphy pens to learn how to hand-write beautifully and showcase their creative writing.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Amanda Tobier's classroom raised $334

My Students

My students live in a diverse neighborhood in the north Bronx in New York City. They are from Bangladesh, Ghana, Yemen, Dominican Republic, Harlem, and more. What they have in common is their curiosity! They are smart, engaged and engaging, thoughtful, and always ready to take on new challenges. My job is ESL teacher, which means that I'm helping them find ways to express themselves, and I love getting to know them. They inspire me every day and I can't wait to see where they go.

My Project

This year I taught myself how to write with calligraphy, and instantly my students wanted me to write out their names, their report covers, letters to their parents... and I even ended up writing out the diplomas to our graduating seniors! I know they will love to have this skill for themselves, and really show off their stories which they are working on in my class this year. I have seen how dependent they are on typing (as many of us have become) and I believe that handwriting is a lost art that is important in so many ways. Great writing deserves great pens!
