Teaching Students to Bullet Journal

Help me give my students the skills to organize their life through "Bullet Journaling": creating goals, tasks, habit trackers, and using creativity to plan their life.

My Students

Our rural middle school in Wisconsin has an enrollment of approximately 300 students.

According to the 2018-19 WISEdash report from the Wisconsin Department of Instruction, there are 60% of students that are economically disadvantaged in our middle school.

Our middle school has a thirty percent average of students with special needs in various disability categories.

My students, although many in poverty, are always willing to help and volunteer. Our school raised over five hundred dollars for a local animal shelter just by collecting pennies. Students who don't have much to give, always find a way to help out. I would like to create this project to give my students the chance to be productive and successful students academically.

My Project

Bullet Journaling is a way to track habits, set goals, monitor tasks, and organize your life. I would like to teach these skills to my students to help improve their grades, increase confidence, learn time management, develop organization tools, and use their own creativity to plan their life out.

Ryder Carroll, the author of the Bullet Journal method, developed this task/habit tracker to cope with his Attention Deficit Disorder.

I need the supplies to help my students learn to take control and responsibility for their life and I believe through Bullet Journaling they can experience success when they complete tasks, set goals, and track their habits. These are life skills that will help them be successful in High School and College.

I am excited to identify low performing students and give them the tools and skills to create a productive life.

I am asking for funding for the supplies; bullet journals, markers,

stencils, storage containers, tape, and a cart to be able to move the items to student classrooms and group work time. I don't have a budget to pay for supplies. I would like to work with 20 students and teach them this method.
