So Monkeyman is obsessed with the show Diego and his friend has a field journal- like a magna doodle that requires batteries.  Monkeyman was begging for one and instead of giving him one I said that he could make his own.  I found an old notebook and we covered the front with construction paper and put a picture of Alicia on it.  We wrote "Field Journal" on the front page and now when we observe animals or scientific phenomenon we can write it up in the field journal and Monkeyman draws a picture on the next page.  I want to do this with history/social studies too.
