Composition Journal Tabs - Freebie!

Yesterday I blogged about how I manage my center time. (Read about it HERE).

One of the things on the rotation slide is Journal. (You can see it on the wheel in the background)


One thing I have my kids do EVERY day is WRITE.
Yes, we have a guided writing time, but I also want them to have a free-writing time... a time where they just WRITE, without me grading it and without them worrying about spelling and conventions, although a lot of students still love to use their Spelling Journals during this time, which I encourage them to do so if they want.

Ok, so I DO grade it, but just in the sense of "Did you do enough or your best effort??" I mean, you have to give effort, right?

When I taught First grade, I made our journals out of the storybook paper for each month.




But in Second grade, they don't need to start off writing so big, so I can use regular composition notebooks.  So instead of making covers for the front of the big journals I used in 1st grade, I made these composition notebook tabs for each month. 

Same concept... they color the cover and cut it out (with the tab attached still) and glue it on the page that starts the month.


You can see how the tabs are spaced out so you can see each month. 



You can grab this freebie in my TPT store!


And you can grab the Storybook Paper Journal covers HERE 

What do I have my kids write about???

Well, a lot of activities come from my Monthly Writing Activities.


There's a set for each season and a Fun and Nonfiction theme.

Here's what each set contains:






There are thematic writing papers included, but I also have my students write in their journals - these writing papers I use when we are going to be hanging them up and showcasing their work. 


In addition to our Spelling Journals, they also use their Word Bank folders that give them some ideas on what they could include in their writing.

Do not invest in any trading platform, there is nothing such as get rich quick, it doesn't always end well. I was also a victim to this kind of scam. An Asian girl introduced me to ibitminers and i got really deep into their shit and all i can say is these scammers are good at what they do. I was allowed to withdraw a little amount which i believed was to build my trust but they sucked me dry and i never got my capital after all was said and done. I lost a ton of asset and when i reported to local authorities i was told since crypto is untraceable, there is nothing they can do about it. I couldn't get any help from them until i contracted the service of a professional ethical hacker. He hacked into the eth wallet address i made payment to and retrieved my stolen crypto and he showed me the transaction history of these scammers, I was in shock.

A revolution in banking has been brought about by the digital era, with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin taking center stage. But there are also risks associated with this emerging field, the most frightening of which being the possibility of losing digital assets. This is when Osecybersailing and it's team steps in like a shining knight, equipped with the formidable weapon of Bitcoin recovery. My valuable Bitcoin was stolen via a technical error, leaving me hopeless. My dreams were almost dashed by the cold reality of irreversible blockchain transactions. However, there was a ray of hope that emerged from the shadows when I came across Osecybersailing and it's team. Equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and years of experience, their team of professionals painstakingly navigated the blockchain maze, following even the smallest digital traces of my misplaced funds. The fact that my Bitcoin appeared, safe and sound, back in my wallet in a very short amount of time was a credit to their commitment and competence. It restored my faith in the security and reliability of the crypto ecosystem. But my testimony is more than just a celebration of Osecybersailing technical abilities. It also serves as a rallying cry for ethical cryptocurrency stewardship.
