Finding Our Voice

Help me give my students these beautiful journals from Peter H. Reynolds. These are the perfect journals for my first graders because it guides them on what to write.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are bright kids! Ever since the coronavirus pandemic started I have not had much contact with my kids. My communication is mostly with their parents. Their parents are doing the best they can but my students need to see me daily and for me to deliver instruction.

My Project

My students love Peter H Reynold's and his beautiful books. We celebrated International Dot Day and they still reach out to that story, The Dot. These journals are perfect for my first graders. Writing has always been a difficult subject to teach so there is a lot of guided writing and lots of modeling before each time they write. But when they write, they write the most fun and wonderful stories. This journal, Start with a Word will guide them on how to get started to write everyday and create their beautiful stories. Thank you for help!
