Write On!

Help me give my students the tools they need to master the art of writing. As first graders, many of them are still learning to write and much practice is needed.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

This year I have first graders. They are a very sweet bunch of children. I was afraid that their transition to "real school" would be difficult considering that their first year was spent mostly virtual for some and completely virtual for others. They are very mannerable and helpful to each other. They are also excited about learning and are quick to congratulate each other when someone does well.

Since they spent so much time virtual, they didn't get much of an opportunity to practice their handwriting.

So one day, we were doing some handwriting practice. I was circulating around the room, checking progress. One of my students saw me coming towards him and immediately said, "It's not ready yet! You can't look!" So I told him I would come back and check on him in a few minutes. When I returned, he said, "Don't come over here writing all over my paper because I worked hard on this!" When I looked at his paper, his writing was beautiful. He's one of my favorite students. He's so funny.

My Project

The use of whiteboards allows students to practice during our lessons and I'm able to see what they are doing quickly. These boards have lines on them which will help them write neater and learn to write correctly on lined paper. The lined paper will be great to have because we practice handwriting often and we are writing sentences in class on a regular basis. We go through paper pretty quickly! Also, I would like to be able to send paper home with them to use when doing homework. Lastly, we need the pencils and erasers so that the little scholars can become better writers.
