Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

A writing center can give my students easy access to writing materials and let them enjoy a variety of activities while they learn skills that will help them become confident, competent writers. Having a writing center will help my scholars build self-monitoring and problem-solving skills. And as they gain independence, they'll be able to monitor their work, take responsibility for their supplies, work on staying on task, solve problems, and find solutions when they're stuck. This area will house all of the supplies, anchor charts, activities, writing journals, and materials my students will need to complete their writing centers with success. This space will allow for a group of students to work together, but still have ample space for each child to have their own work space.
