Creative Journaling in ECHOs

11/15/2017

Extracurricular HOT Opportunities (ECHOs) met for the first time yesterday at John Lyman School. Once a month, students from all grades meet in an ECHO that they selected. Teachers from throughout the school offer topics such as world games, yoga, coding, birding and more. Mrs. Dobler and I were inspired by the book Journal Sparks by Emily Neuberger. It was a wonderful way to end our Friday!

We began by sharing everyone's ideas about what they thought creative journaling might be, which ranged from art to feelings. In the end, we decided it could be whatever we wanted! 
I shared the journal that I had created this summer when my daughter and I first found this book. We had a ton of fun decorating the cover with washi tape and modge podging over it. The Creative Journaling group will be making their own journals too, at our next meeting. But for today we gave out pages that will go into their new journals and let them create! Below are some images of what they accomplished. 
The date above should be 11/18/17. : )
