Write This Way : An Emotional Journal Project
Funded Jun 27, 2022I just want to take a few minutes and let you know what this is going to do for the students in my class this year. With your generous donations to my project I hope to support their mental health in a positive way.
Students need to write every day. They need to practice their penmanship as well as expressing their ideas. These particular journals will reinforce correct handwriting and give them a space to be creative and draw a picture. Most journals do not have the primary lines or the free space to draw.
However, the exciting thing I want to do with these journals is connect with the student. I would like to create a dialogue with the student to share feeling or whatever they would like to share with me. These journals will be a safe place for student and teacher to connect.
Thank you again for supporting me and this project I couldn't have done it without you.”

Funded Feb 8, 2022I want to take a few minutes and tell you how much I appreciate your help with getting books into my scholars hands. I love that people care to help us teachers love and provide quality materials to foster the learning of students. My scholars have throughly enjoyed getting their hands on these new books, they have stepped up their I independent reading, and had the opportunity to read things they wouldn't picture themselves reading.
Let me tell you first they love seeing new books coming into our classroom. Yes I say our classroom because we are a family and it's theirs too. Some of my scholars don't have books at home for them to read so the more books I have in my library for them to have access to the better.
Second, with your help my scholars have really stepped up their independent reading. I have scholars reading when they have any spare time. A few scholars are reading during lunch while they are eating or choosing to read during inside recess even. They just can't wait to finish and pick another book. They love the series books because the story doesn't stop and they can move onto the next book.
The last thing I wanted you to know is that these scholars are reading things they would have never pictured themselves reading. Their reading levels are going up because they are reading more and different types of books. The more children read the better their vocabulary gets and comprehension so they can move up in levels. A great number of my scholars are very low readers and strive to read the next level of books. Some of them couldn't picture themselves reading higher levels but they are with your help.
Thank you so much for your support. These struggling readers are improving so much because of your generosity to help a first year teacher get books into her scholars hand. These books will impact scholars for many years to come.”
