Mrs. Young from Hartford WI is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Write Stuff

Help me give my students the materials and resources to expand their story telling ideas. Pencils and manipulatives give children the opportunity to write without worrying if they have supplies and gives them the chance to be creative.

My Students

My class of first and second graders are standout learners. They have a desire to learn, explore the world around them and find their greatness. They want those around them, especially their families and friends, to see their greatness also. My class lives in an area prone to violence and poverty.

I cannot control their lives outside of the classroom, but I can control their experience during the school day.

My students like to read and we emphasize the need to read every day. They also love to write, draw and even share what they are learning and I try to incorporate different activities as often as possible. By doing this in a positive way, I hope to inspire my learners to continue on a path of academic excellence.

My Project

I am requesting a writing resource to give various ideas to those students that need help expanding their writing capabilities. Students are scared to write because the lingering anxiety of spelling and other writing conventions.

My students have stories, I want to help them put it to paper and create their own story.

All of my students have something to say, helping them to put it on paper so they can share with the world if they choose! Pencils are always needed, and exposing my students to various techniques to find their voice will assist them in being more confident in writing independently.
