Characterize My Classroom in Living Color

My Project

In a Literacy classroom, students focus on using various literary devices, story elements, writing styles and comprehension. It is a bit like weaving a web to integrate all we know about growing in our reading capabilities. One way to help this happen is to learn in a different style than just paper pencil writing assignments or reading and answering questions.

By using our creativity to dive further into content, we can implant a deeper level of understanding the character traits and setting details in the books we are reading in class.

Please help us obtain classroom basics such as pencils, an easel pad, markers and crayons.
