They often struggled to put their thoughts on paper, lacked confidence, and were reluctant to revise their work. Since introducing the new writing curriculum—alongside simple but powerful tools like colored paper and pens—I've seen a transformation in both their attitudes and abilities.\r\n\r\nThe use of colored paper and pens has had an unexpected but deeply meaningful effect. For young children, color is more than just visual appeal—it's motivation. Students are now excited to write. They eagerly choose their favorite paper and pens, which helps them take ownership of their work. \r\n\r\nThe new writing bundle from Teachers Pay Teachers has brought structure, creativity, and consistency to our writing block. Students are now learning how to organize their thoughts, develop their ideas, and express themselves clearly. I've seen incredible growth in their sentence structure, vocabulary, and storytelling. \r\n\r\nMost importantly, our students are beginning to see themselves as writers. They are confident and more willing to take risks with their words.","fullyFundedDate":1746487845838,"projectUrl":"project/write-on/9309064/","projectTitle":"Write On!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Stewart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8302512_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1643950084380","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/melissastewartok"},{"teacherId":8302499,"projectId":9279776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation to our classroom!
