New Journal
Mikey got a new journal and so it was time to decorate again. Mustaches were the hot thing in 2014…so of course, we were on it!
On the last journal he decorated, we gave Mikey phrases to use when he wanted to share something about himself. At this point in the school year, his 3rd grade friends already knew him and were practiced at prompting him with questions, so we just used pictures this time.
The important thing is that your child is proud of their journal and that it might draw the interest of other kids their age.
