My Project

My students are great readers and have improved so much in writing. Lately, they are grumbling about writing. I think Spring time is hard to get motivated. To encourage them, I have given them my own teacher pens.

I have a collection of Smelly Markers, Flair Pens, Sharpies, Gel Pens etc.

My goal is to make them motivated to finish their assignments. To do this I am giving my own supplies and colorful paper to complete writing assignments. I am hoping this will make it motivating to write for the next few months. Now that they are using these supplies they are more excited but my supplies are running low. I want to replenish these supplies and keep them writing.
