Sketch It, Write It!

Help me give my students sketch pads and gel pens to make writing and drawing fun.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Foster's classroom raised $490

This project is fully funded

My Project

Young children should always have access to a variety of writing tools and supplies. In our class, we explore many different colors and textures of papers, and use just about every writing tool we can get our hands on.

I want to give my students their own sketch and writing pads along with a variety of colored gel pens to support their writing and fine motor development.

Sometimes my students don't always feel like engaging in our typical classroom centers, so having resources such as these that allow them to relax on a floor pillow and sketch near the window is oftentimes what is needed and desired. Please help me give each of my students these resources so they can take their learning into their own hands.
