My Project

Please help me provide journals and pens for all of my students. My goal is to get them to write more often and journaling is a great way to practice this skill. It's also a great way to reflect and destress throughout the school day. The students will each get a journal to write daily entries and will be able to keep these at the end of the school year to continue throughout the summer.

I hope that this journal project will help to develop a love for writing as well as allowing them an outlet to express themselves.
