Writing History

Help me give my students writing materials of all different varieties and mediums

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Reid's classroom raised $165

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students in the early years of education struggle with writing with different materials. They are mostly used for wooden pencils, markers, and crayons. I want my students to be able to write with different tools to help their hand muscles adapt to all sorts of tools.

Teaching them to adapt while they are still young, helps them create that muscle memory that they will use throughout their life.

I was never any good at making my handwriting look neat because I didn't think it mattered that much. I want my students to want to improve their handwriting skills and I think having different things to write with will help.
