My Project

I'm writing to draw your attention to a project that's all about helping my 2nd graders become write on target during Writers Workshop! This year, I filed away a bright idea—giving each student a hanging file folder to keep their writing safe, sound, and sorted all year long. Spoiler alert: it was a smashing success! So now, I'm hoping to expand the folder frontier with your help!

Help my students start the year ready to write!

The supplies in this project will help my young authors stay organized and excited each day as they reach for brainstorming pages, editing checklists, and a variety of writing paper to match their creative moods. The sturdy metal hanging file holders are sturdy and sure to hold up for many years to come! Your donation would be a write move to help these budding writers pen their best work yet!
