Summer Journaling Notebook

Now that we’re getting into the heart of summer, I wanted to encourage my kiddos to do a little bit of summer journaling. So I made this fun Summer Journaling Notebook to help inspire them!

Directions for use:

1. Print pages back to back, then cut down the center to create a 5×8 journaling booklet. You can print as many copies of each page as you like, it’s totally up to you.
2. Stack the pages together and have them coil bound at an office supply store.
3. Encourage your students to journal about their experiences this summer!
