My Project

My students love to express their creativity! Tools such as colored paper, pencils, and printer ink will allow for them to express themselves in many colorful ways!

My students will be able to use these colorful tools to enhance their group or independent projects and writing in a way that is fun and engaging!

I have asked for colorful ink and paper to print color photos for display boards for class projects. I've also asked for colored pencils and pens to encourage reluctant writers to share their thoughts and ideas with color. Help us bring our creativity to new levels this year!
