Writing Notebooks for Everyday Use!

My students need developmentally appropriate writing notebooks for everyday use.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Stern's classroom raised $264

This project is fully funded

My Students

My school is a low-income, urban school in Baltimore City. I have an amazing group of 1st grade students who are working daily to be independent learners. These students are given the chance to build critical literacy, math and social-emotional skills in an early childhood center environment.

My classroom is a space where all students come to explore, learn, create and grow.

I want to instill independence by giving students opportunities to work closely with each other and form learning spaces. I work to meet the needs of all my students and give them learning opportunities that fit their learning styles and needs.

My Project

These notebooks will be used each and every day by my students. They will respond to text questions in our reading and writing curriculum. We will also do extended writing projects in these notebooks. The developmentally appropriate lines are great for my students to practice forming their letters, words and sentences. They are learning about capitalization, punctuation and spacing throughout first grade and these notebooks are an essential tool.

Students will learn to express themselves through writing using these notebooks.

They will a way for students to share their life experiences and to share how much they are learning in first grade! Their illustrations to go along with their sentences will allow students to show their skills and talents! Writing isn't all about words so my students use their beautiful illustrations to tell their stories too!
