My Project

Help me give my students the tools they need to be successful, organized writers. Writing fosters critical thinking and creativity, which enables students to explore different perspectives in a meaningful way. Developing strong writing skills allows students to articulate their viewpoints effectively, which is essential not only in my classroom but also in their future careers.

Writing is a fundamental skill that plays a crucial role in communication and academic success.

Organizational skills are key to helping 5th grade students be distinguished writers. The items I am requesting will help my students with outlining, brainstorming, editing, and polishing their writing pieces. The use of specific editing tools such as highlighters and colored pens will allow students to identify and correct their errors, improving the overall clarity, coherence, and quality of their writing.

Mrs. Zeigler will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 10.
