Help Build Our Writing Center

My students need materials (book bins, tabletop paper center, composition books and pencil grips) to facilitate their writing and places to store them.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

As a teacher in a high-poverty school, I have the unique opportunity to work with a group of thirty-three students from varying backgrounds who all contribute unique skills and experiences to our classroom.

Our class is made up of a multilingual and global community of learners, with over half the class speaking a language other than English at home.

These bright, innovative, spunky students are enthusiastic readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists and historians. Many students do not have access to writing materials at home and would greatly benefit from having access to a rich writing center from which they can easily build the worlds and ideas that are just waiting to be put down on paper.

My Project

Writing is a critical part of 5th grade. It is the beginning of the 5 paragraph essay, and my students will be doing a lot of work researching different topics and developing their own persuasive essays. They will also have an opportunity to write a memoir at the end of the school year to reflect on their elementary career.

Writing time is the best opportunity that my students have to express themselves and their own beliefs.

To do this they need a place to put all of this writing, which is why I am requesting composition books for all of my students. They also need an organized center where they can find all of the tools for their writing - from paper trays to pencils bins. Your contributions will greatly influence my students experience with writing this year. To say thank you, every donor will receive a sample of student writing from our narrative unit!
