A Special Journal
“I worked with a 5th-grade girl today whose parents are divorcing and there is a lot of turmoil in her home. We talked about her writing in a journal to keep in a special place just for her. When she told me she didn’t have a journal I took her to Abby’s Closet. She sat in the beanbag chair while I shared with her about Abby and why we have the closet. She picked out a fancy notebook with glitter on it to use as her journal. I also read her the “Bucket…” book and then wrote her name in the copy and gave it to her. She couldn’t believe she got to keep the book! ☺ It really cheered her up. Thank you for your partnership and blessing our students!”
