DINNER NOTEBOOKS

DinnerNotebookHere is a wonderful idea from Katie LaPierre:
 
Each of my children that can read (six years and up) have their own dinner notebook. You can get these spiral bound notebooks for a dollar at Walmart. Each child puts their name on the front and every day during homeschooling they write in their dinner notebook their favorite things that they learned that day. At least four sentences.
 
When I call everyone to the table, I tell them: "Go to the bathroom, wash your hands, and grab your dinner notebook!" Each child comes to the table ready to share.
 
One of the things I love most about dinner notebooks is how it benefits all who are that are at the table.
• It blesses the one that is reading because as they speak it aloud, they are better able to cement into their minds what they learned and enjoyed that day.
• It helps them to practice their reading and speaking skills.
• It excites them to share with their family something they learned.
• It benefits all the hearers because we get to practice listening skills/showing interest in others.
• AND we get to learn with the reader!
 
Our dinner notebooks lead to many wonderful conversations.
