My Students
Our school is a rural school in a one red light town in middle Georgia. While our budget may be small, my students' desire to learn and excel in life is great! They walk in the door every morning yearning to learn something new. I love to pour into them and try to foster a love of learning. Our class motto was adopted from Eleanor Roosevelt's quote, "I must do the things I think I cannot do!" My job is to convince them that they are capable of doing so much more than they give themselves credit for.
My Project
I want my kids to know that letter writing is not a lost art. Many of my students have never written letters nor have they ever received letters in the mail. I have partnered with a teacher in California (2500 miles from us!) to have pen pals. I cannot wait to share my love of writing with my 3rd graders!
I want my kids to know that electronic mail is not the only form of communication. I want them to learn to write letters and experience the joy of receiving mail in return! The kid-friendly stationary, colorful pens, and postage stamps will help me reach that goal!
