Journal Writing:  Evidence supports the fact that journal writing will help your children to develop their skills of explanation, to improve their writing and to solve problems in interesting ways.  As the students write, they’ll learn things about themselves they never knew before and become fascinated by the way the words and ideas come together on paper.
