He loves to draw and I think the 2 combined would be satisfying for him. My daughter is also writing letters and things like her name and small words, and she spends a great deal of time drawing, I think she would also like this as an alternate to our bed time story routine.Anandini dasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12031812077043791607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7900887335724992061.post-5924453205924306682009-07-17T12:47:52.683-07:002009-07-17T12:47:52.683-07:00You should print out these once a month and keep a...You should print out these once a month and keep a written memoir. You should also get the kids to start journaling. I print a page that has half blank and half with lines. On the balnk part, I tape or print pictures of the day, or I let the children draw. Then they write out their day, 3 hole punch it and put it in their binder. Then we say prayers, listen to adventures in oddysey online and go to sleep. It is a fun nightime routine and just think of all the memories they will have kept. I can't remember much of my childhood, but since I've been journaling. I remember so much more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
