The teachers during Ramadan are always faced with trying to make this blessed month special for their students and still meet the school’s academic standard. I decided to create Ramadan Journal for Grades 2-5. Teachers can use it for their students to enjoy the new school year with this Back-to-school Islamic Journal, and at the same time with meeting the curriculum standard for writing. Keeping a student portfolio on acquiring information and writing personal narratives are part of the standard 1 in NY State English Framework. This could be a jumpstart for more interesting writing on personal narratives. The downloadable templates make it easy for teachers to create the journal with their students which will cut the the project time in half. This can also be used by busy parents who want to make a Ramadan memory book with out the mess.

You can print and add photographs or your child can draw in it, and you can add extra photos on the blank page. Give it as a gift to your child the first few nights of Ramadan. Your child can fill it out through out the month. You can duplicate pages as many as you like, just staple it together at the end! If you want it to last longer, you can have it heat bound for 99 cents at Staples.
