My Project

First grade is a crucial year in a child's reading and writing development. As I prepare for a new school year, I would like to give my students Primary Composition Journals, Desk Nameplates, pencils, and other supplies that will be used to begin a new school year. These journals will also be used to document growth throughout the entire school year as we move through the writing genres. These supplies will help me to get the year off to a great start as I hope to provide my students everything we need for each day of learning.
