JOURNALS
We are going to be doing journal entries every day. We will collect their entries and put them in their folder they decorated. I am hoping this quick exercise (if done consistently) will help the kids explore their own feelings and encourage them to use their words to let others know how they feel.
This is the template for the journals.
