We have a class Bigfoot!!! This big guy will go home with each student this year. They will write about their adventures and take some pics. I print the pics and we keep using the same journal.
The kids will have a day or two to record their adventures with Bigfoot! I allow parents to text me pictures from their time with Bigfoot. I print the some of the pictures and we add them to the journal!
You could do this with ANY stuffed animal! Last year, we had a class cow! My intermediate kids absolutely love this project!
