My Project

With our curriculum we do a lot of guided drawings together but we were not given journals for the kids to keep their art together. While giving them blank pieces of paper is an option, I would love to instead offer my students a journal to keep their art together. They would be able to see their progress and look back on their writing and drawing through the months. These writing journals would be not only for our reading block but also available to them during free time where they can color and draw inside of it. It would be amazing to have the opportunity to give my students their own personal journal!
