Summer Calendar

A Summer Journal is one way to help your child express thoughts and creativity.

Let your child choose and decorate his/her own journal.
Some children prefer paper that is lined, while others prefer unlined paper.
Your child might really respond to keeping a journal if you keep your own journal.

You can start by suggesting topics, such as a word for the day. For example, the word might be "happy". Your child would write the word, then draw a picture of something or someone who makes them feel happy. They can write a sentence about their drawing.
Let your child take photos of people, places, or things that are of interest. Encourage them to discuss why they took the photo and why it is special. They can write a sentence about the photo.

Encourage your child to write on a topic of their choice. If they need help, you can use the Summer Calendar which provides different topics. Use these topics as a starting point.

Have fun!
