My Project

Composition books provide my students a safe and organized place for weekly WOW (Write on Wednesday) activities, vocabulary development for all short stories we read, and character analysis, vocabulary development, and discussion question answers for the core lit novels we read as a class.

Organization is key for 6th grade as students are transitioning into middle school and multiple classes/teachers.

Providing them a secure place for many of our ELA assignments and activities helps keep them organized and confident...no lost papers, no accidentally deleted Docs, etc.

My students are noticeably more engaged if they are organized and confident. Providing each of them a composition book for their ELA class would be wonderful, so thank you for your consideration to fund this project.
