My Project

Literacy is a process that requires processing our written language in many different ways, and this requires specific tools. I recently moved from teaching in an elementary classroom to teaching in a middle school ELA classroom teaching reading and writing. My students work hard on their grammar, reading, and writing skills in my classroom. With the prevalence and use of technology in their lives at an all-time high, my students benefit so much from setting their Chromebooks aside and using tools like highlighters, markers, colored pencils, and other materials they hold in their hands. We have used the limited supply of these tools that I had on-hand this year.

By restocking our classroom and giving us an organized space to access our classroom materials, my students will be able to get to all the supplies they need to complete projects and work on valuable skills to improve their literacy and comprehension skills.

My students work hard at improving their reading and writing skills. I love having a classroom that is engaging and planning hands on activities for them. It makes a huge difference for them to be able to see on paper what they are identifying or writing and being able to highlight or mark that as they go along. I have seen the impact having these supplies has had, and I am hoping to continue to have these supplies available to my students.
