This is a great journal.
I know the importance of writing in 1st grade, and this is a really good place to put it.
I liked that it had plenty of sheets to see growth through time, had a place for pictures, seemed sturdy and showed off their work pretty well. I did not like paying for them when the school could, even in these tough times. So that’s my dilemma year after year. But I’ll either order these (or…shh.. try to get them locally) but I need to get the job done by the end of the month.
Ok, it’s shameless but if you feel an itch for donation, just drop me a 24 double order. You can find the address on my shameless Listmania lists. They do sadly too much lift stuff at the school, or fail to get stuff to you, but I just have to hope it’ll get to the kids. It’s hit or miss for sure. Sometimes things are fine.
Maybe email smpuglisi (at) gmail(dot) com with no spaces. I can give out the home address actually, ok thinking aloud, sorry, sorry. Okay that is shameless, but things are not within my range of being able to express it in terms of having supplies in my poverty school. I don’t like calling it that, or saying that, but it is that. Hard working, suffering folks by and large struggling to put food on the table, yours, mine and theirs. Our states collapsing public ed. is really taking tough situations to new levels. That means more than ever teachers are paying out of their pocket.
These books last year were I think the most prized thing they had. Every day for months I modeled writing and they worked on language expression type writing with me. Later they were the writers, artists on their pieces. This year I’m changing that. We will do a modeled lesson one day, next day one where they copy the date and a sentence around something, maybe weather and then they write something they would like. It will be a better approach and I’ll give plenty of support. On Fridays each child will produce a sentence from a more structured experience. The artwork will also reflect days I direct it with structured modeling, days it’s directed drawing, days they produce.
By the end of the year these will be showpieces, hopefully we’ll fill 2 per child. I love writing and I’m hoping we can make them feel that too.
