Happy New Year!

I hope that 2015 brings us all lots of health and happiness!  One way to keep track of the things that happen this year is to start a daily journal or diary.  If writing in it once a day is too much, try writing down notes about your week on the weekend.  Another fun way to enjoy writing is to use interesting journal prompts and here are a few to get you started:

It snowed 5 feet and school is cancelled for a week!  What would you do to keep from getting bored?

Tell what your day would be like if you lived in an igloo.

Write a story called, "The Funny Snowman Adventure".

Would you rather live in a place that gets lots of snow or a place that never gets snow?  Tell what you think and why.

Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted people to live in peace.  Describe your idea of a peaceful day.

Every snowflake is unique.  I am as unique as a snowflake because...

Write about a winter day.  Describe its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds.
 
PS - For those of you following the Adelie penguins nesting in Antarctica, note how much the babies have grown!

Penguin Nest Check

another journal topic could be:  Would a penguin make a good pet?  Why or why not?
