The Right Tools for Little Writers!

Help me give my students primary writing journals in order to fuel a lifelong love of writing!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kiel's classroom raised $483

My Project

My first graders are curious, kind, imaginative, and creative. This year they have shown tremendous progress in writing. One of the keys to teaching writing in first grade is giving them the confidence that they CAN do it!

These primary writing journals are perfect for guiding and inspiring little writers, because they have space to draw a picture to go along with the writing.

These writing journals also give the students the chance to go back and look at their previous entries from earlier in the year, which builds confidence over time! These writing journals, along with the totes to hold them, will motivate and inspire our first-grade writers.
