I often have students who request to see me many times throughout a given school week. Since I have an entire school population to serve, I cannot always be there for them face-to-face. So, I decided to start creating counseling journals with these students. We make them out of notebook paper and colored construction paper (for the cover). Students can decorate their journals however they wish. I typically write the first message, reminding students about how the process works, and then, from that point on, students write as often as they need to. This is also a great way to document student progress. Students love it and it's cheap and easy!

Thanks, Barbara! I just checked out your blog---very nice! I know I'll be able to get a lot from it. I'll post a link to your blog in my Character Education section (Classroom Counseling). :)

Wow! What a great idea! Do you give a journal to all your "frequent fliers?" I would love to see what you write explaining how it works! Do you ever write a response?

Thanks, Marandi! To answer your question, yes, I typically give a journal to all my "frequent fliers," except for students who truly don't want it. Usually, though, if they like talking to me a lot, they want the journal.
