My Project

My passion for my students is to develop a love of writing. So this year I am adding a writing center as a station.

Using writing journals will give my students a chance to see their writing develop from the beginning of the year until the last day.

The other writing tools will help the students be as creative as they would like in their drawings. It will also give them a sense of pride.

The laminator, in my wish list, will give me a chance to save some of the work at the end of the year we can make a book of our progress and send it home as a memory book. The teachers pay teachers gift card will give me the opportunity to find writing resources for my new writing center
