This project is fully funded

My Students

I am currently working in a Title I school where I have limited supplies to begin our year of learning. I am trying to build a strong and fun classroom for my kiddos where they have access to learning in a fun and engaging ways.

I am trying to create strong writing stations for my tiny literacy masters.

I need some writing supplies and resource to promote a greater interest in writing and literacy. I am trying to create centers that are engaging, interesting and provided with ample supplies A place where my kiddo can learn, play, and unwind. I am trying to give myself a head start for the next years by providing my kiddos with a safe and fun learning environment within my classroom where they can learn, play, and relax. They deserve to be their age and play like they are 4 and 5 years old. Please help me raise funds to get these new items for our classroom.

My Project

We will be utilizing these resources within our classroom to promote writing and literacy. I have prek kiddos that are doing exceptionally well utilizing the word wall and learning sight words. I wanted to push them a level up by adding other resources that will promote there writing process. I will use the writing notebook and pencils to help them begin writing their own stories through picture and words. I will use the writing games to promote literacy during station time where they will be working with a partner. I will also be using those game for small group activities and whole group activities.
