My Project

My students are amazing! They have learned their letters and sounds and are learning how to put sounds together to make words! They are excited to dig into writing with words and sentences!!

My wonderful writers need durable folders to keep their writing organized along with writing tools to add details to their illustrations.

We can't wait to get into writing expository and narrative pieces as well as writing books about things we love! We are inspired by so many mentor texts and are ready to make our writings really special!

I would love to give my students tools and materials to use specifically for writing. Learning to read and write in Kindergarten is hard but so amazing and important. Having cool new materials will add so much to our writing work!
