Made books
By TLC

Our whole school did this for the last 2 years, but I am not sure which company we used. Yes the books were free, and they were adorable. The way the company is able to do this is because they are hoping the parents will| buy extra, at $18 each, grandma, Aunt Sally, etc. You could do it two ways, one is a class book to which everyone contributes. When you do it this way there is only the one hardbound copy to keep in the classroom, so everyone must purchase if they want their own. The other way is each child writes a whole book. I did individual books for my fifth graders, added on all year and published | |
in the spring. It was a LOT of work but so very satisfying. However, last year I moved to 3rd and individual books seemed daunting. During a lit. unit on fairytales we found recipes, gave them fairy tale type names and then made wonderful colorful illustrations. For example, there was Cinderella's Pumpkin Coach Bread, and Wicked Step-mother's Non-Poison Apple Pie. We even voted on one to cook and got some math standards in there! The books are great fun and quite impressive. The company binds the actual pages you send, not photocopies. Only extra purchased copies are reproduced. Sometimes the originals get smudgie, so you need to be careful with the originals. Be sure to read every scrap of info they send you and put some reminders and time frame parameters in your plan book. Go for it!
