My Project

Writing skills begin to develop in kindergarten and set the foundation for the rest of their student career. I'm looking to create memory books and journals for my students.

Kindergarten memory books are a great way to build writing skills, practice recalling past events, writing using sequence, and more.

And of course, they make a wonderful keepsake.

Student journals do not come with appropriate paper for kindergarten writing. Printing and stapling is an option, but is not durable. I'm looking for donations for a spiral binding press and supplies. Much like a hole punch, a spiral binding machine cuts paper so that a spiral binder can be laced through. I would love to be able to bind my student's memory books to create excitement for writing and to create lasting durability throughout the school year.
