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 Project

I am requesting clip boards and a storage bin for my young scholars to help with our Write the Room Activities.

There are several benefits to Write the Room Activities.

These activies gets students to practice their writing and handwriting and number writing. My kindergarteners benefit from constantly observing the right way to write, tracing words and letters, numbers and practicing writing on their own in order for them to be able to communicate through writing. We focus on handwriting a few times a week and the proper way to write the letters and numbers. Write the Room is an awesome way for them to practice their handwriting without making them trace and write the same letter for a whole page.

In kindergarten, it’s important for students to learn their letter sounds as it makes reading and sounding out easier. Write the Room helps students focus on beginning letters and sounds. Along with all the themed words in a certain Write the Room resource, there is a picture that matches. When students find a word, they must look on their recording sheet for the beginning letter. As they write the word, they are thinking of the picture and are able to practice sounding out the word.

An organized space to keep everything in its place will be equally beneficial in helping my students feel organized and prepared to meet the task at hand.
