Hard Work
By gatorgal

It is hard work, but well worth it to the students and parents. A first grade teacher at our school does one and asks each parent to send in five dollars and donate developing one roll of film during the year.

She
buys 1 inch notebooks that have the plastic on the front to insert a cover sheet. She then makes the pages on colored sheets of 81/2 by 11 paper and puts them in plastic sleeves (I think she gets them from Sam's Warehouse so that they are cheaper). Some of the pages are just plain colors with the students adding writing or embelishments, other pages are the computer papers that have the

cute borders.
She also does specific writing activities so that the children can add those in telling about different things that happen during the year.

Her books are not overly detailed because it would be so much for 20-24 students to do.

The kids are really proud of them. I taught second grade and each year one of her former students would bring their scrapbook to school to show me when they came to second grade.
