Writing Pictures!

Funded Aug 31, 2023

We received your donation on Friday. That was quick! We were off Monday, Labor Day, and we used them for the first time today. I labeled each journal with the students' assigned numbers and passed them out.

The students were super excited to use their new journals. They had not seen journals "like that" before. They only had their regular composition books. They did ask if they were "special" journals, because of the blank space on top. I assured them that they were special and that we were going to use them every week, for story time.

I read aloud a story, "Too Many Places To Hide", and the students had to illustrate their favorite part. They drew their favortite part and then tried to write a sentence about their picture. Once they wrote their own sentence, I would re-write the sentence correctly, and they copy the sentence, a couple of times.

Once again, THANK YOU for the journals. They will surely be used and my students will benefit in their learning journey of writing.”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Hernandez
