Goal

My students will increase their writing skills while also helping animals get adopted from a local shelter. 

What will be done with my students

Last year, I worked with the Naples Humane Society to help animals get adopted with the aid of my students. We will do the same this year, but make it even better and more effective! Students are given information on an animal that needs adopting. They then write a letter as if they are the animal and why they should be adopted. Their writing and artwork is displayed next to each animal's kennel or room for potential adopters to read and help fall in love with that animal. Once adopted, the student's work will go home with the adopter. We will write each month. At the end of the school year and project, I will take my students on a field trip to the Humane Society so they can see some of the animals they are championing for. It will make their writing more meaningful. The attached picture is a sample of what they did last year.  

Benefits to my students

My students will be become better writers and better humans through this project. They will learn how to write more effectively and develop compassion at the same time.  

Budget Narrative

Paintbrushes will be used for the students' art work. The laminate pouches are to keep the work preserved for hanging at the shelter. The rest of the budget is for the school bus and driver.
