Extra Blog Post : March

For the month of March I've decided that Jared should be writing more in the composition book. The new thing I'm going to do is let him take it home and tell him to write in whatever he wants, he could doodle in it too. I want to see if he shows how he's feeling in his writing because he doesn't share much when we're just outside playing.
