My students are just learning the importance of communicating in their own words on paper. Visual cues of blue and red lines will help them gain confidence to write freely now and on other types of paper by the end of this school year.
My students come from diverse backgrounds.
Our school is the most culturally diverse elementary in our school district. It is an exciting place to share traditions, experiences and values. One way we do this is through the stories that we write together and individually, no matter our ability.
My Project
My students will use the special notebooks and pencil grips to practice their word study and handwriting simultaneously. The red baseline ruled newsprint paper will be used to write original stories, personal narratives, and research. The blank books will give each student their own published piece in their own handwriting with illustrations in a hardback cover as a keepsake of this school year.
Donations to this project will give my students the tools to improve their handwriting.
They will gain confidence in communicating with others through the the written word. My students will feel pride in knowing they are truly authors and illustrators, when they finish the year with a published book to keep and share with their families and friends.
