My Project

My amazing students like creating stories but can sometimes find the act of writing to be a chore.

Writing with fun and colorful pencils, Paper Mate mechanical pencils, and Smencils will make their writing assignments fun and enjoyable.

When students enjoy the writing process, they are more willing to work on the various steps to a complete paper. Since writing is an important part of the school day, as well as a necessary life skill, making the writing process a fun experience is something I would like my students to have and carry with them through school.
