Episode 33
Having kids write down what they observe in nature is a creative way for them to practice writing skills and learn to journal. Encourage critical thinking by asking them to be more descriptive with their writing. Do they see anything new? Has it changed? Why has it changed? Keeping a journal will also help you both to see how your child's skills grow over time.
