Good Afternoon!

Everyday, children who are involved in large group are given the opportunity to complete a journal. This journal time usually ranges from 10-15 minutes. During this time, children have free reign to write or draw whatever comes to them. Usually, the journals that are completed come from prior knowledge or something that is taking place in their life at that time.

From balloons (just had a birthday) to airplanes (he’s quite a traveler), we are expressing our thoughts down on paper.

Elizabeth drew a picture of herself and Clara. She even got the details of Clara’s stripped dress down to a T!

The importance of having a set time where friends can come to the table to express themselves is needed in the classroom. Since there are different ages within the group, some may need teacher assistance to spell any words that they want to express while others are on their way to spelling by themselves!

We always want to hear what our friends are thinking and feeling!

Here are some pictures from our outside time today!
