Writing About What's Inside of Me!

Help me give my students an authentic writing experience in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Turner's classroom raised $795

My Project

Children enjoy expressing their feelings, and they will share more of themselves if they are in a calming environment.

The purchase of notebooks and pencils will significantly assist in their writing experience.

The headphones will allow them to listen to music and put them in the mood to write about what is on their mind. The story boxes will allow them to turn in their work in a private setting for a classroom. Lastly, I can have my students replicate their story on the computer to publish their final product on the xerox purchased.
