My Students

My students are the best kids ever. Our physical school classroom came to a halt on Friday, March 13th. We no longer can be together because of the coronavirus. We miss each other so very much. We miss being together every day! My students are learning from the laptops from our classroom. They are still learning just how to get online to find me to teach them online. They are currently learning from home.

My Project

Help my students remember the joy of writing! We were writing everyday in our journals, but our journals were left behind in our classroom when our school closed down for the year. I want to send them a new journal they can use at home, just like in school.

Remind my students of the joy of writing down their thoughts!

Now is a great time for them to journal during these times. How they feel, what they are doing with their families, and what they want to do when our quarantine is lifted!

My students will be assigned to write something with their daily prompt, take a picture of it, and send it to me, they were always so creative, I can't wait to see what they write and draw.
