The last few years I taught, I had my homeroom students write in a journal each week. The journals came home with me over the weekend, I wrote back to them and then returned the journals to the children on Monday. Since it has been over 13 years since I did this, I completely forgot about how much kids love passing notes!! I am starting this today with my 13yo and 8.5yo. THANK YOU for the reminder!!!
