Create A Family Journal
By: Kristen Mason
To encourage writing, we've started a Family Journal.
We're all writing a minimum of 1 sentence after dinner. It's really
just the news of our day. Spelling does not count, but everyone must try
their best.
This offers us (the parents) a chance to model appropriate
spacing, capital letters, and think out loud about what we are writing (ideas,
sounds, etc).
That's it - pretty simple!
Kristen Mason lives in Northern Virginia and
blogs at Busy Kids = Happy Mom!
She teaches part time in an elementary school, is involved in MOMSnext,
and loves all things crafty! She
is married and has 2 sons.
