My Project
Next school year, I am thrilled to be able to teach an entirely new class to our school: creative writing! Of course, to be a great writer, you have to be able to read great writing and learn from it. And so, I am requesting many new books for my classroom as well as a world of new writing prompt books, and new seating for my students to be able to sit in pairs to read and discuss books together as well as move forward with writing and I hope they will find a cozy place to be inspired within my classroom! Also need new headphones for the classroom as I have none currently.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
