Inspiring Young New Writers

Help me give my students additional resources to build their writing skills. English Language Learners (ELLs) often have difficulty with writing, and the cubes, pens, and writing boards/tablets will make learning to write more enjoyable for the students.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O'Connor's classroom raised $373

My Project

My students are amazing young scholars. They always work so hard to learn new things.

As English Language Learners, they are constantly challenged to improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Writing is one of the most challenging for them. The writing cubes, writing tablets, writing boards, and gel pens will give them more opportunities to express their thoughts using different writing tools. The blank cubes will also allow them to come up with their own creative ideas for what they want to write. Students are more willing to write when they are presented with ideas that interest and inspire them.
