Autpgraph Albums By NJ Teacher

One of my moms this year came in and did a great autogra[h album with the kids. It would take a bit of work, but at the end of the year, you probably are looking for something to do. She took a digital photo of the front| of the school, and made copies on the copier. She brought in some pearlized paints, and took the children how to create the colors of the school's brick facade. You could also use crayon, marker, or colored pencil to avoid the mess/expense. This became the cover. For the pages, she copied some quotes from songs from their school concert, and reproduced those. The back cover was a collage | | that the kids made. She took digital photos and enlarged their heads in black and white. She gave them three tissue paper squares to glue on as they saw fit, and she and another mom had cut quotes and pictures from magazines and the children collaged those on that they thought applied to their personalities. You could have the kids bring their own things in, instead. She brought the completed ones to Staples to bind and laminate. We have a bookbinding machine and a laminator, so I would do them myself instead of paying Staples next year. You could also use those large book rings to bind it. They are a real keepsake. She made one for me, so I will remember how to do it!
