Goal
International Cafe has brought together many students who are new to our country. My goal is for students transitioning into a new culture, new language and new family dynamics to have some time and space to process their many experiences. Having a journal will help students document their experiences, express their emotions and plan out their academic goals.
What will be done with my students
As part of their acculturation, I would love to provide students with a personal journal. Some topics we will visit during Intenational Cafe are similarities and differences between schools, holiday/seasonal vocabulary and traditions, planning both academic and personal goals, just to name a few.
Benefits to my students
Student journals will help them form connections, learn new holiday vocabulary and create visuals to help them attain their goals. Students are excited to about learning English and experiencing a new culture. Writing journals will give students an opportunity to express their thoughts and will greatly benefit their academic endeavors.
Budget Narrative
One of our school-wide goals is to acknowledge every student. Giving students a space to write their thoughts, hopes and dreams will help students feel validated and it will help them integrate into their new school community.
