Dana's blog
In Dana's Kindergarten class, they kept a journal
every day. I've kept a journal since 4th grade...and I have them all in a box
somewhere in the basement. Someday, I will be brave enough to dig them out and
see what I thought about life back in the
1970s.
Dana's journal is amazing in that she progressed so much in one short year. The journal consists of a picture that she drew and words (later, sentences) underneath. A few sample entries here: (spelling and punctuation are hers - the focus of the journal was to write, they didn't care if it was spelled right!)

I have to say, I feel that Dana summed up the year much better (and more succinctly) than I did.....
