Kindergarten Journaling

Jess Tucker, a kindergarten teacher at Huddleston Elementary

Kindergarten journal writing can be a challenge! To stimulate both interest and writing skills, I have my students build the structure of their own design during center time. Then I have them draw their work in their journal and, skills permitting, write a sentence about it. Their work is 'saved' when centers are put away and the students have a record of all they have made.
