Help me give my students materials to take their writing to the next level.

My Project

My students spend a lot of time writing. With your kind support, my students will have the basic materials they need to practice penmanship skills and take their writing pieces from drafts to final copies. I am requesting basic supplies for writing including desk dividers, ruled whiteboards, Expo markers, ruled writing paper, pencils, erasers, and pens.

These materials will allow my students to practice their penmanship skills and use these skills to write narrative writing pieces, research papers, opinion papers and so much more.

With your kind donation, each of my students will have their own desk divider to create their own writing space. The whiteboards and lined paper will help students practice their penmanship skills and the pencils, erasers, and pens will allow students to work through the writing process to produce final copies of their writing.

Please consider helping our class with their penmanship and visual presentation skills through this project. These materials will provide the supplies my students need to level up their writing. Thank you in advance for helping all of my students thrive in our classroom!
