My Project

My students are a group of amazing and intelligent learners. We have been working so hard on writing this year, that we would love to have more materials in the classroom.

Writing is such an important skill, and having and using a variety of writing tools is essential in the learning process.

Each student will receive their own personal journal to write in. These journals will be sent home at the end of the year for a Kindergarten memory.

The folders, envelopes, markers, pens, etc. will be used in the classroom for additional writing and learning experiences!
