They have been such a helpful tool in our daily learning.\r\n\r\nThe students absolutely love using them. They're able to practice their writing and drawing, which is helping them build their fine motor skills and start learning how to write letters and words. The journals also give them a space to be creative and express their thoughts and ideas.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generous gift!

My students love that these books were also part of the Accelerated Reader program in which every book provides them with words and every six weeks their goal is to read at least 30,000 if not more words. \r\n Other books they really loved and were looking forward to read were the Dog Man series. Some students saw the movie and were immediately enticed to read the rest of the series!
