Future Authors In Need Of Journals

Funded Aug 23, 2021

Initially my students were excited to have a journal. I told them how these amazing people paid for our journals and we will be drawing and writing.

My students use their writing journal to learn how to draw and write. We first started with tracing highlighted words and drew one step at a time to validate their ability to follow directions. At first, my students were struggling a lot. Now, they tell me "I did it! I did it!" And the excitement in their face is so worth it. I have some students telling me I like school. I like to write and draw. We started with lots of highlighting so students trace the words. We are gradually working on having kids copy a simple sentence and draw as best as they can all by themselves.”
