My Project

My students are incredible writers! They are learning the power of their voices through the written words.

My students fill up their journals with poetry, short stories, goals, hopes and dreams.

They also use their journals as a place to safely vent and work through different emotions. We are in need of a place to store their precious journals.

This project asks for two 9-cube cubbie shelves and plastic bins to store their journals. With the help of the bins and shelves, I hope to help keep student journals safe and sound until they're ready to write again.

My students will feel confident that their words are being stored away for safe keeping with the help of the cubbie shelves and hidden away from nosy, prying eyes in the plastic bins!
