Inspired by morning journaling and teacher written “end of day” reports, Smart/Starts: Journaling allows students the ability to compose their own journals. With overlays that include weather information, current school events/activities, feelings for the day, and more, this set empowers students to share their day and more. Students can share their day with parents, friends, and teachers. This set can be used to teach the concepts of emotional states, sequence, duration,information recall and more, as well as encouraging student initiated correspondence.
