What Can I Do?: My Journal
-
1.
My mother gave me a book with empty pages inside it. I’m going to do a picture book about me. Mom calls it a journal.
-
2.
After I draw a picture of me, I’m going to draw pictures of everyone in my family, even our dog, Scruffy. I also want to draw pictures of things that I like.
-
3.
I can’t write yet, so Mother is going to write down important things that happen to me.
-
4.
My picture book will help me remember what I was doing and thinking when I was four years old. Someday when I’m a mother, I can share my journal with my children.

Dragonfly
To make a dragonfly, you will need: string, glue, a wooden clothespin, construction paper, a pencil, scissors, and a pen.
