My Project

The paper and pens in various colors are a key component of making writing and editing engaging in my class. Providing different sizes and colors helps students find greater creativity in their writing. The reflexive nature of writing is alive and well in my classroom, and these supplies will encourage the process. The storage cabinet and wire caddy set will keep all of these things organized and easily accessible.

When I provide various forms of expression of my content, students are much more interested in working bell to bell.

The various papers, pens, and markers will help achieve this.
