Writing for the World in Little Tots Land

Help me give my students composition notebooks, dry erase boards, and pencils.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Searles's classroom raised $341

This project is fully funded

My Project

The world is very exciting and challenging for little people when first entering school. Parents and little tots are so excited.

Capturing the little tots' hearts in a primary writing station will set their minds and souls into the joys of writing for a lifetime.

Having these much needed startup supplies of notebooks, whiteboards, and pencils and will make this station in little people land possible. Our little tots will have a way to express what is happening every day. The tiny tots will be able to select the positive highlights in little tots land.
