Getting Our Writing Right

Help me give my students the tools they need to become great writers. We need dry erase boards with writing lines to help them develop good handwriting skills.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I have 20 enthusiastic Kindergarteners. Most of my students have not had any exposure to school prior to this school year. Though several of my students have difficult home lives, they come to school eager to learn and explore.

My students are excited, hands-on learners.

In our classroom collaboration and teamwork are key components of our day. Each child is each unique in their own way, but together they make an amazing team. They love to sing, dance and play!

My Project

Writing gives them early and much needed confidence with literacy. Writing first helps kids get the meaning connection because they are conveying their own thoughts. The first words kids write will be written with unconventional spelling and even unconventional drawing of some letters. Many students struggle and become easily frustrated with writing. I want to enrich my writing time in my classroom. I want to help students become excited about writing and learn to enjoy it. Whiteboards will make a difference in my classroom because students will practice writing letters, numbers, and words daily. They will use the lines to help them have good writing formation and erasers to smoothly correct any mistakes.
