OK, scrapbooks! Where to begin...actually, as soon as you complete one class set at the end of the year, you take a few week's break and you get a serious start on next year's set!! Seriously. I know this must seem like a crazy endeavor and as a team, we do question our sanity somewhere in mid-May every year when we show up at school bleary-eyed and comparing how many hours we spent on these things over the weekend, griping and carrying on! BUT, it is a labor of love and I imagine we will keep it up until one of us cries uncle!
I can't explain how proud the children are to present this collection of their year's work to their parents on our Awards day...it is priceless and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Every year, we (our team) all come up with what we can do throughout the year to make this an easier task...so here goes...
 |
| I start with a few pages that I can prepare beforehand during the summer. |
 |
| I use the die cut in our work room before the building closes for summer and cut out a few shapes that I like to use (school, shamrock and turkey). |
 |
| I print the scripts and back them with scrapbook paper. |
 |
| I make scripts for each page and file them in the order that we would complete that page within the school year. |
 |
| First Day of School, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Apples, Pumpkins, etc... |
 |
| I cut out the pirate ships for the front cover. |
 |
| This was the cover I used this year. I included a photo of each child wearing our pirate hat on the left side of each cover. So cute!  |
 |
| Messy...keep plenty of scissors, glue and water bottles on hand! |
 |
| This is what my First Day of School page looked like before I started using the school die cut as the background for their photo. |
 |
| On this page I include a class photo from the first day, their Kissing Hand and script. I also use their First Day Homework page on this layout. |
 |
| This is our 50's page that I prep by making the TV and having it ready to go! |
 |
| I print the poem and have it cut out and ready. I file the poems but I do go ahead and get their handprints done the first week of school at some point! |

Thanks for sharing your scrapbook ideas! I do something similar; I make a pocket page for each month and slip a project (art or writing...) into the pocket each month. I print out photos if I want a little something on the front of each pocket. I'll have to take pictures of the completed book next year. I'm sure parents appreciate all of your hard work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, as a parent I would so love this from my kids.

Hi! I didn't make individual scrapbooks last year, but I did create a photo album on Shutterfly. The parents loved it and were able to purchase a copy, if they desired one.
ReplyDeleteOne of my classroom jobs is "Reporter"; each day, the child on duty takes a photo! The children were truly proud of our class photo album.
