Whole Class Journals

A few weeks ago I came across this blog, and her brilliant and EASY idea of whole class journals, including FREE printables and directions.

So I created this quick set of eight notebooks to get it started right away in my classroom.

 

So far they have been a big hit and gotten students excited about writing.  Plus, stickers are involved:)

Each writer signs his or her name and then puts a sticker on the cover to show how many entries the journal has.  I'm hoping they last a few years and develop a great collection of student work.

Plus I'm counting on them being worth a good deal of money when my little authors start publishing books someday!
