My Project

Readers are writers and writers are readers! Our learners spend so much time engaged in reading! I would love to provide materials in the writing center to inspire them to share what they are learning and to share their creative thoughts.

Using the book, "The Fantastic Bureau of Imagination" by Brad Montague, as creative inspiration, I would like to give students access to incredible writing materials.

This includes Boogie Board tablets for creating rough drafts, sticky notes for note-taking, and quality pencils and pens. Additional materials include presentation boards, report covers, bright-colored paper, and pencil sharpeners.

The writing center will be a go-to destination in which students will have materials and time to reach into their imaginations. The presentation boards and presentation covers will give students another avenue in which to publish their writing!
