I created my journal invitation to look like a valentine. Each valentine is personally addressed to every student in my class.
Inside the invitation, they will find a personal invitation to journal, including what it is and all the details that they need to know about them. I also included the directions for their 1st entry. The students are to create a list of things they love. Lastly, I gave them a visual example of my list of things that I love.
This is the front of my envelope that contains my invitation.
