SAVE AND SHARE YOUR STORY - Because History is Happening Now!
Someday your child can read their journal entries to their neighbors and family...Because History is Happening Now!
Going through tough times or are you experiencing a significant event in your family or community? Try journaling.
- For difficult times this will give your child hope and help them realize that this historic event has a beginning and will have an end.
- For an exciting event, it will give your child an entry on their personal timeline of their life's milestones and context to historical events in their lifetime. "I remember when..."
A journal, whether written, photos, or both will be a keepsake and something they can choose to share.
It doesn't have to be fancy. Scraps of paper, jots, and drawings are just fine.
Photo stream on social media is another way to document and share changes, uncertainty, and hope in our daily lives. Digital journals utilize what many of our children consider their preferred media and literacy tool.
