His entries are almost poetic!
Those are so cute...I'm sure you are just cracking up as you write them out for him! That's such a great idea. You are a great teacher!
Those entries are so precious. I love the one about trees on 8/28...it really sounds deep. I love how he saw a ghost and a giraffe. What a great imagination.
I especially liked the "for reals" part. Precious!
sorry, i had to delete the comment... broke code and used his real name. Anyways, here is what I wrote: "Mr. T" told me a good one the other day. That he had a brother in outer space who hides behind the clouds. It was very cute. And he was so serious about it! I love your idea of a nature journal.
You know, alot of those could turn into great haiku's. Something was so beautiful about the birthday with a candle but no cake.
Wow - great writing skills! Really he is amazing with his thoughts and expressing himself. What a great idea - Nature journal - I might just use that one with my kids. thanks.
