Although our school is in a rural community, we have a diverse population of students. Many of our students are fairly new to our country and are just learning to speak English. Some of our students live in poverty while others come from wealthier homes.
My classroom is a place where kids can come together to learn and have fun regardless of their differences.
We work with the motto, "We can do hard things!" During the course of our one short school year together, we learn a lot and become family!
My Project
Writing is a tool that my students need to be successful in their education and their lives. Writing can also be an amazing tool for students to express themselves. It can be used to help overcome social or emotional stress in their lives but first, they need to develop the writing skills and confidence!
These journals, A Writer's Notebook, will help my students gain confidence in writing so that it can be used as a tool to increase their social and emotional well being.
Journals are a proven way to help kids relieve stress. The increased writing skills will also help them become better students so they can go farther in life.
