My Vacation Journal – a Teacher’s Dream, Getting Kids to Enjoy Writing

Clearwater, FL, June 28, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Wondering what to do with all those special collectibles that you gather during a vacation? Tickets, boarding cards, feathers, shells - all the bits that your kids must keep but end up all over your home or car. Now there is an answer. The Victoria Chart Company has produced a 20 page activity book which provides children with the perfect project for vacations. It is also a fun way to keep children busy during the summer break.

My Vacation Journal encourages children to write, color, draw, stick, collect and eventually show what they have been doing during their time away from school. "An activity that Teachers are calling out for!" is what one teacher has said. Children can write about their days events, a "Why not ..." section suggesting fun things to try and do. Included on each page is a daily checklist for children to complete helping them understand the importance of sun protection especially important with the current heatwaves we’re experiencing.

"As a child I would often write daily accounts of my family vacations," says the Company’s Founder, Victoria Ballard, "and it is wonderful that I can now share them with my children. I want other families to benefit from these wonderful keepsakes that hold such memories."

The Vacation Journal is available for $6.99 from their website www.victoriachartcompany.com.
