Free Printables – Summer Journaling

July 4, 2013 by Shellie Wilson 2 Comments

Confessions of a homeschooler.com shares this free printable for your aspiring writer. They are brightly colored with a summer theme to inspire your writer to jot down their thoughts , dreams and activities. My 5 year old is obsessed with writing at the moment, she has written her birthday guest list out 100 times (it’s not till September). I will be tapping into more journaling and writing ideas as I explore activities for her to try out.

Here are some of their ideas to get your child writing.

What is your favorite summer thing to do and why?
What is your favorite summer food and why?
If you could cook your favorite meal, what would you cook? Describe how you would make and serve your meal.
Write about your home and why you like it there.
Go on a walk, then journal about your walk or what you encountered.
What is your favorite outdoor game to play?
Write about a new planet you’ve traveled to. What did you find there? Describe the environment.
Think of a business you can start. Tell what you would name it, what the business is, how you would run it, etc.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
