When I first passed them out, they got to choose which color they wanted. Then we spent some time decorating the outside. It was fun seeing all the different decorative styles, and the students enjoyed the creative down time.\r\n\r\nFrom then till the end of the year, we spent 5-8 minutes everyday at the start of class for \"journal time.\" I gave them the option to write or draw, but the rule was their pencils had to be moving the entire time. Many of my students who struggle with writing appreciated the freedom to draw as opposed to write. But you can see from the pictures, many others choose to write as well. \r\n\r\nIt was amazing to see how well the students responded to this. If I would forget to add this time to my slides, I always had a least 1 student who asked \"are we doing journals today?\" I even had a few students ask for an extra journal to take home with them since the original journals stayed in the classroom. On the last day of class, most of the students opted to take their journal home with them showing just how much they valued the small but mighty book. \r\n\r\nFrom an SEL standpoint, I saw benefits for so many of my kids, boys and girls alike. Having a space to process emotions and thoughts in a safe and productive way allowed there to be less classroom behavior issues overall. Thank you for giving my students and I this wonderful tool!","fullyFundedDate":1742936204903,"projectUrl":"project/journaling-journey-of-self-discovery/9205713/","projectTitle":"Journaling Journey of Self Discovery","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Pickrel Tyner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9975017"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_126293","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1034,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":74,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":46,"percentWhite":14,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":32,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.9,"schoolId":126293,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Richard J Allie Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Richard J Allie Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/crowley-independent-school-district/richard-j-allie-middle-school/126293"}
