My Project

I would love to give my first grade students the opportunity to showcase their creative writing and illustrations in our hallways at school.

Creativity is an important component of childhood development.

Being given the opportunity to use their imagination encourages children to come up with unique ideas and make learning meaningful and fun.

I am asking for crayons and picture story paper for the children to write their stories and draw their illustrations. Then with the help of the display rail, we can hang their papers in the hallway for everyone to see! First graders love to share their creations with everyone!
