My Project

My students are so excited to come to school and learn each day! They are engaged by our districts Enriched Literacy Curriculum that is new to our school. We have discovered items and tools that would help our classroom with our learning and so I created this project.

Writing is a large focus of our Enriched Literacy Curriculum and these materials will help my students become more confident and organized writers.

The microphone will allow students the opportunity to have a "stage" to share their wonderful writing ideas and stories. The caddies and tray will allow us to organize our writing tools as well as our literature circles where we study various novels. The pens will help us flash draft our ideas in our writer's notebooks. My students are so excited for our writing block this year and all of these items will help make them more successful.

They also would love to add some extra flexible seating to our classroom this year. Included in this project is wiggle cushions for their feet and bouncy bands for their desks! These will really help students stay focused and engaged in learning. We appreciate your support in our educational journey!
