Notebook Sample #1

As a classroom teacher, I noticed that when I took the time to write and share simple poems or stories, it inspired my students to do the same. I was amazed to see how opening up the door to my own thoughts and ideas helped cultivate a culture of authentic sharing and encouragement in the classroom.

This particular page from my notebook includes a photograph that I used to help me practice writing descriptive phrases, Scripture, inspiration from St. Josemaria Escriva, and a simple poem I wrote.

Feel free to use this page as an example for your students or use it to inspire your own collection!
