Your idea sounds great, too! I’d love to learn more about your kids’ auditory processing disorder – my oldest has tactile processing disorder. What kind of OT do you do?

Our house is filled with books but unfortunately our kids have auditory processing disorder so they aren’t big on reading and writing. But they are very visual and have cameras and phones with cameras so taking photos is great for them. Every summer we all shoot at least one pic a day and at the end of the summer we make slideshows to show what everybody did for vacation. You’ve given us some great ideas for continuing throughout the school year.

I’m a student teacher about to start my final teaching placement with a class of Year 2’s. I’ve been considering introducing this concept to my students, but this post might have given me that extra boost of confidence to do it. It also reminded me not to restrict it to writing as I know this will put some kids off straight away!

I like the idea of a learning journal. We could keep our memory journals separate. This idea will encourage more writing from my kids who are always learning something new. It might even inspire more learning this summer.

Yes, we will be making some recylced journals and get started this week. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing this post at We Teach.

Renee — me, too and I’m don’t have a very good organizational system for my journals. Do you? I’m considering copying what I need for later and filing it.

Novel idea that would be fun for kids and a good review of the material they’ve been studying or interested in. A nice keepsake too for them to look back upon too.

Thanks for the wonderful journalling ideas. I’m surrounded by notebooks that I record story ideas but I think I’ll construct a journal for something different. I used to scrapbook but now I spend all my time writing. I miss the tactile side of scrapbooking so I think I’ll add it to my writing journal.

Thanks for the inspiration. I can’t wait to get started!
