FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nic Ruairi's classroom raised $375

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students belong to a community where creativity and a love of learning are fostered. They are storytellers and artists bursting with ideas and excited to share.

My students love to share their learning and are eager to explore all the questions they have about our world.

These fourth graders pour their spirit and energy into their work, and their unique voices shine through.

My Project

My class are amazing writers and I want to give them plenty of options for drafting and publishing their work. The yellow writing pads are what we use for drafting while the the permanent markers are intended to outline our artwork in our graphic novels and our words in our picture books.

The blank books are intended for our published works.

We cannot wait to share them with the younger classes in our school and are excited to make our work look as polished and professional as possible. We have already started planning our books!
