My Students

I have 15 wonderful students. They love coming to school, learning, and working hard. Many of my students come from loving and hard-working families. They love to read books and listen to books being read to them. Many of them love to act out the stories we read in class. They also love to write stories.

Most of my students enjoy reading their stories to their partners.

My students love illustrating their stories. I love going to work every day because I love seeing them grow as students.

My Project

I am requesting supplies that my class can use for writing. I am asking for felt pens so that they can't erase and make a mess with the writing. The pens allow students to be risk-takers when they are writing 3-page stories or writing how-to's. I am also requesting spacemen that will allow them to put spaces between their words. This tool will make their writing easy to read since the words are spaced out. I am also requesting a 3 tier shelf to keep the pens and spaceman on when they are not using them.
