My students need clipboards, pencil grippers, crayons, chart paper, pocket charts, sentence strips, Alphabet Dough Stampers, and a pencil caddy for our classroom writing center.
I currently have 17 wonderful kindergarten students, who are eager to learn. My goal each year is for my students to learn to love school and learning. I believe that the best way to encourage this love of learning is by creating a fun and engaging environment for my students to learn.
Due to our school size and county budget, funding is limited, and all basic supplies and materials come from the pockets of the teachers or generous parents.
This makes it difficult to provide my students with everything that is needed in the classroom. Our school is a large elementary school, made up of approximately 650 students. We have a great, caring staff that works hard to make sure all of our students have what they need to succeed.
My Project
The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students will provide them with a hands-on writing center. The sentence strips, pencil grippers, chart paper, pocket charts, crayons, and other supplies will help my students grow in the writing process. Many of these materials will replace or replenish our writing center.
The donations to this project will help my students become writers.
By implementing the writing center into my classroom, my students will begin to see themselves as true authors and illustrators. Helping them to become life-long writers. Using these materials I will have students engage in sentence writing through the use of stamps, and letter activities. I will use sentence building in writing to help students build complete sentences with a subject, and a verb. Students can build their sentences before transferring it to a writing paper. Through the use of sentence strips, chart paper and pocket charts, we will complete mini-lessons, such as editing pre-written sentences, or having students come up with their own sentences, and checking for finger spaces, capital letters, and punctuation. I truly need your support to make this a reality.
