Got Journal?

Posted in Fun learning

I have kept journals for as long as I remember. I enjoy sitting down and just spilling words out upon a blank piece of journal page.

Journaling is something I wanted to pass down to my children. Each year I get them brand new journals. They really like the ones that you can close with a clip or a magnet. Each day we all take time to journal. Myself included which sometimes ends up being blogging or making grocery lists. We've been doing this for at least five years. Even my little ones journal by doodling or scribbling on paper.

My daughter and I also have a journal (three ring-binder) where we write to each other. It's precious.

It always puts a smile on my face when we walk out the door and a child brings their journal.

I have a box of writing prompts that we use each day when we cannot think of something to write about.
Teacher Created Resources Writing Prompts. They offer different grade levels if that is something that floats your boat. Otherwise, if you are not concerned about grade levels then have fun with them. I enjoy them even no matter which grade level we pull from. Journaling is about writing and enjoying it.

Online Writing and Journal Prompts:

Daily Writing promts at The Teachers Corner

How about you? Do you journal? Do your kids journal?

Education is not just sitting in a schoolhouse. Education is learning, and that can be done anytime and anywhere - as long as the mind is willing." ~ Mentor Graham

She has a high degree of untapped creativity, and tends to be hard working when it comes to worthwhile causes. A leader that will never admit her leadership expertise." ~ Jim (husband)
