Donor's Choose: Writing Center Activities

Monday, September 8, 2014
I am writing to you as a teacher who would LOVE your support!  My students would LOVE your support as well!  


I am a 2nd grade teacher in Chanhassen, MN and I've got two projects I would like to see funded on DonorsChoose.org.  The first is for Writing Center Activities.  If you have a dollar or two you can spare, please consider donating to help out our classroom!  Every donation helps!

If you have a business that would like to make a tax-deductible donation, please consider giving to a worthy cause!  Click HERE to donate today!
In my classroom I use Daily 5 instruction for the main portion of our Language Arts time. One component to Daily 5 is "Work on Writing." As writing is something that most children struggle with, I want to make this center more exciting and provide the students with choices.
I am looking to set up activities that the students can choose between each day that they partake in "Work on Writing." A few of the centers I am looking to set up are: (1) Letter & List Writing - for this station I will give the students prompts to write lists. I am requesting a set of 12 monthly themed notepads that the students can use to write their lists on. (2) Research - I am requesting the "Organize & Write Research Papers" learning center to help guide the students in their exploration of research. (3) Poetry - I am requesting poetry magnets and magnetic boards for students to create their own poetry.
I am also requesting other materials that will allow me to create additional options.
Donations to my project will improve the choices in my classroom. When you have more choices, you have more opportunities to engage various learners. Students will get to find an activity that sounds interesting to them and work to complete it, while continuing to meet state standards. These items will allow me to personalize learning for each student in my classroom. Thank you for taking the time to consider donating to my project!
