If you are interested in having your students creating a science journal then this is the article for you! Students create a science journal with their teacher and bring it home to share with their families and have their families answer questions in the journal. Sharing their observations with other people helps the students in their academic growth. It is also important that in the journal academic writing is implemented in order to help advance their language. There are so many great ideas and references listed in the literature. Great article to read and I will be using this article for reference for my future classroom.
