Journals

Journals
This week, each child participated in sharing their journal. Journal writing has become an essential part of assessing the children with writing, fine motor, and language & communication. To promote love for writing, we encourage the children to use their imagination and draw what came to mind.  In the first week of school, we noticed the children making unintentional marks in their journal with little attention to detail. Ms. Smith and I had a discussion about how we could  help the children think about writing thoughtful ideas. We asked the children what it means to "Do your best work." The children responded by saying "no scribbling" and "try your best." This is now the common language we use with all aspects of learning. The children know that "best work" is when they try their best, and trying your best is always true. We invite you to check out your child's "best work" in their journal at anytime. They are located in our library area next to our wicker chair.
