My Project

This year's group of seniors are kids that I have looped with for seven years. That's right, I have been their teacher for the last seven years in one form or another. You might imagine that I have a special place in my heart for these kids and you would be right.

I am so excited to see their next adventure unfold, but I want them to have an easy way to remember how far they have come.

Having a daily journal to write a few short sentences each day can give them the documentation and strength they need to keep going on the days when things get difficult.

Some of these children have travelled to France with me, some have been in my classroom daily for the last seven years. Some of them have used me as a reference or a sounding board. All of them are graduating and heading on to their next adventure in a very short time. Help me send them off with a small gift from their old teacher.
