New book offers... Home and School Summary Journal Sample... offers ideas and record keeping for Home and School using a system to combine all couses into one book.  There is one book for k-3, one for 4-6, one for 7-12 graders as well as year journals for private use set up at the childs level of ability.  I used my own children to see what works and what does not and have had huge sucess with this new and original ideas for combining all the classroom teachings...  This is also found at http://www.lulu.com/sockmonstershere

*******************************

: Home Daily Journal is recommended for the intermediate student.  It is intended to give the older student a place to keep a record of how they feel about themselves by writing what they are feeling; about themselves, about their world, about school, about their life.

The Home Daily Journal was created for the experienced student.  The three day set-up gives a complete section for the student to write out their thoughts.  It is intended to give students a place to keep a written record for learning.  Each day leads to another day and gives a place for new discoveries.

As a Home school mom, I find the journal a great way to work out frustrations, discoveries, fears and accomplishments.  It gives a place to record thoughts, emotions, and ideas as well as personal ideas about ones self. 

**If this is used with the Home & School Summary Journal, this journal is intended to be a personal place to work out personal views.  It is not intended to be graded, corrected, or criticized.  It can be discussed, but never criticized.  It should be treated as a place to discover how the student feels about their world.  It is a place to discover the joy of life, writing, and discover their personal feelings.  In the Home & School Summary Journal, there is a place to give the beginner a check mark for having completed the day’s journal.  The checkmark shows they did it, and have been given credit for it, but does not show an actual grade for having completed it. **

NEWSFLASH – at - 1
We interrupt your current Dreams to bring you
some important news regarding your child’s socks! Hold
on to your mated socks, for they are likely to vanish just
as the Sock Monster disappears!
*******************************************************
“Where Did ALL the Socks Go??
By the light of the day, all looks normal. Looking
around, the invisible form stalks its prey; seeking out
the socks, the toys, the shoes of children. Each time
hunger strikes, a lone item vanishes. It feeds the
creature we call The Sock Monster.
When hungry, he disappears, quick as lightening,
fast as a fox, no human eye can see the Sock Monster
gobble his treasure. All socks, shoes, and toys are
suspect, they feed him; giving him power to stalk
children and their room.

Ever wonder what happens to socks when we
wash them? The Sock Monster hides inside the dryer,
lurking about, seeking the proper sock size. If the sock
is too big, he gags. If it belongs to a child of short size
he feels sick. Each sock must be from the child the
Sock Monster belongs with in order to feed.
Children get blamed for this action as parents
world wide accuse them of losing their socks! It does
not matter how careful the child is for when hunger
strikes the sock vanishes into thin air. The Sock
Monster must feed, it is in his nature, and it is part of his
design. He eats socks to live, steals toys to play, and
then laughs when the children are blamed!
The Sock Monster lurks about, behind walls, in
doors, behind washers and dryers! His appetite gets
bigger the more he feeds, and he looks for socks to eat.
He feels the hunger grow then strikes with a power.
Children may feel his presence, but never can they see
him there. The shadow keeps him invisible. The washer
is a favorite place. He bangs, and growls and scares the
children, making them shriek in terror.
A change in appetite requires the Monster to shift
into the washer. In order to tell when this happens, just
listen for the growling of the washer. An imbalance of
the inner workings of the washer causes the washer to
bark and move, twist and bounce. This signifies a Sock
Monster has moved into his new home.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Washing motion makes the
movement of the washer scary. Children who see or
hear this may cry. Once the Monster rears its head,
children may try to find the Monster. Socks vanish,
shoes disappear, and children’s toys become broken and
scattered.
