My Project

Our classroom has a designated writing center, and we need more supplies! The students are able to be creative, create their own letters to friends, anchor charts, artwork and stories! The kids are loving expressing themselves through drawing and writing and they would love more opportunities. These materials will help enrich the students and to increase their imaginations and creative expression. Students will be able to work towards meeting their writing standards i kindergarten due to their increased interest and opportunity to write and be creative! Thank you for your help supporting our classroom!
