My Students

Our school is nestled in a small town in North Carolina. We are a community Title I school with about 450 students and have a growing ESL population. Students at our school love learning and take pride in being a CHAMP Cougar!

Our first graders are amazing risk takers who love to learn.

Speaking, listening, reading and writing are the foundational building blocks on which all other learning is built. To provide instruction in a meaningful way we use a variety of resources, including rigorous text discussions, accountable talk, small group reading instruction, book clubs and whole group mini-lessons that focus on common core standards. Considering that our physical building is over 40 years old and the curriculum is constantly changing, some of our materials are out of date and our basic supplies are in high demand. Students in first grade grow by leaps and bounds, both personally and academically.

My Project

These materials will help my students be successful during writing workshop. During the writing process students plan, draft, revise, edit and publish using small booklets and special colored pens. Students have ownership and create their booklets using staplers and tape located on each table. Students use black flair pens so they cannot erase and get more words on each page. Then they revise with green pens and sometimes tape on revising strips. Students edit using boo boo tape to edit their pieces.

These supplies will help my students create pieces of fiction, nonfiction and opinion writing as they work on the writing process throughout the school year.

The boys and girls in my class are eager to write each and every day and will be thrilled that they will have all the supplies they need to do this work successfully.
