My Students

First grade is so much fun! I want to be sure my students have all the materials and fun seating they need to have a wonderful school year. We are learning so much, building social relationships and loving school!

My students are eager learners!

They are excited about school and all that we have to offer them. They are little, just six and seven years old, but the daily cognitive and social demands are higher than ever! I want to give my students every opportunity to succeed. I just need the right "tools!”

My Project

Writing is a huge component of my first grade curriculum. Students are expected to independently write narratives, opinions, and how-to pieces by the end of the school year. I have some amazing writing resources for my students, but lack the space to store and display them!

This writing center would not only provide a safe place for my students to write, but it would allow me to have everything they need at their fingertips.

Smelly markers, pens, pencils, crayons, markers, stencils, writing paper, stickers and construction paper will all be available for creative writing pieces. My students will have the opportunity to work on amazing writing pieces! Thank you for your consideration!
