** How Teachers Use This**
Print one journal per child at the start of the year — stapled or spiral-bound. Children complete their weekly spread during morning meeting, circle time, or a designated PSHE slot. The journal takes just 5–10 minutes per week and builds a powerful record of each child’s emotional growth across the year.

Important Note
This journal is strictly for the Mr Sloth Healing Series (Books 1–10) only.
