My Project

Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my project! I have selected items to help foster a love of poetry for my students. I have added some silly poetry books that will keep them laughing, and inspire them to write their own poetry.

I have also added some colorful card stock that we use as covers of books that my students create throughout the school year.

Finally, I have added some organizational supplies that I will use in my classroom to help school days run smoothly.

We can't wait to get writing! Thank you for the support.
