Writing is an Outlet

Help me give my students journals as a safe place to process and reflect on their learning and feelings

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Callahan's classroom raised $463

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

These journals will help students reflect and process their emotions and learning. I want to allow students a safe and private place to reflect, set goals, and process learning and emotions. Recently I received a note from a student I had 24 years ago telling me how the journal writing we did in 6th grade became an outlet and it's since been a tool for him. I'd like to start doing it with my high school students

My goal is to have students learn about their strengths and opportunities.

I will give students daily prompts, as well as allow them space to write about what they need or want to write about. High school comes with a range of emotions and learning that students have a hard time processing. Many students have difficulty communicating verbally. Journaling can give them a place to be mindful of how their experiences and learning affects them. It can also help them work through challenging situations.

I'd like to provide all of my students with their own journal and provide them a productive outlet for processing feelings, summarizing learning and reflecting on their strengths.
