August 2010. It was back to school for the kids and the start of a new project that I volunteered to take on for two classrooms — Porter’s 2nd grade class and Claire’s preschool class.
I call these Personal Yearbooks. The idea of course, is to help students document their school life, introduce the youngsters to scrapbooking and personal history, and have fun while doing it. Each month I photographed every single kid. I edited those pictures, printed those pictures, prepared the supplies, and went back in to guide the students in putting their pages together. It’s a monthly ritual.
Many of you have done the same thing.
So here we are. May 2011. The end of the school year. The books are complete. All 43 of them. Each is unique and specific to that child, filled with his or her handwriting, stories, art, and imagination.
……….
{ a few pages from Porter’s book }
……….
{ a few pages from Claire’s book }
……….
As I reflect on this year of doing this project month after month, I thought I’d share a few bits of advice to those (parents or teachers) who may want to do this next school year. Full details can be found here (you’ll see it there on the right side along with lots of other free downloads.)
……….
{ advice }
1. You don’t have to do it alone. You could alternate with another parent, month by month. Or one of your could be the photographer who also prints the pictures and the other person could be the one who prepares the supplies and goes in to scrapbook with the kids each month. My friend Keri did all the photography and prepared all the supplies but then she let the teacher actually do the pages with the kids each month. However you go about it, consider sharing the load so you don’t burn out.
2. Consider doing the bulk of preparation at the beginning. I’m talking about all of the printing, paper-cutting, and any other prep work. I often found myself doing last-minute stuff as I rushed out the door to get to the school. Always so much going on. Had I had everything already prepped and organized, I would have been a lot more relaxed about the project.
3. Involve your child. One thing I’m glad I did and would definitely recommend, is to involve your own child(ren) in the behind-the-scenes process. Porter and Claire helped me with sorting, matching pictures with folders (they know who’s who in their classes a whole lot better than I do), and things like that. They love it. It’s a family affair. And they learn to appreciate volunteer work a little more.
4. Stock up. If you have a stash of patterned papers and other paper crafting or scrapbooking supplies, set some things aside for this project if you’re considering ever doing this. Even though I don’t do much “traditional/decorative” scrapbooking anymore, I am so glad I have always hung on to some supplies. That stuff always comes in handy when it comes to projects with the kids especially.
5. Plan themes in advance. At the beginning of the school year, brainstorm with the teacher and come up with a list of themes you want to be sure to cover for the project. This will help you feel organized, as opposed to trying to think of a new idea each month. For example, here are some POTM (picture-of-the-month) themes we did this year: first day of school, my body system (a specific learning unit), gratitude, class holiday party, reading, field day, field trip, my teacher, recess, the library …
6. Don’t pose every picture. Obviously a child’s smile is priceless and we want to capture that. I also encourage you to mix it up. Take some of the pictures candidly and not always posed with the child looking & smiling at the camera. Catch them in the act of doing what it is that they do at school.
7. Details in writing. Whether the students are doing their own writing on the pages or you or the teacher are writing what the kids say (as it was with our little preschool class) … dig for a little more information. When you ask, “What’s your favorite thing about lunch time?” … follow up with “Why?” or “Tell me more.” This is where the flavor in their personality can really shine through their words.
8. Do it. Even though this year was a bit of a challenge for me personally to keep up with 2 classes worth of Personal Yearbooks, I am so glad I did. Obviously it’s always great to volunteer in the kids’ classes and be involved with their school. But also — these books very well could be the only form of memory-keeping some of these kids will have at this age.
……….
I learned a lot this year. I’m going to do things a little differently next year. Yes, I plan to continue the tradition. But — no more late nights cramming in last-minute preparations that look like this:
Here’s to teaching kids while they’re young, that documenting life is awesome.
It is completely & totally worth it.

I LOVE this idea! I am just at the tail end of volunteering in a first grade class near my home. I’m gearing up to start back in on my love of scrapbooking in my newly created craft room! I may need to show the teacher this idea so I can do both things I love next year…Scrapbooking and working with kids! Thanks for the idea…and I’ll be searching your site for more advice on how best to do this in the classroom!
WOW…can you be my Mom??!!! What a wonderful thing you did for all those kids. As a mom of 2 little boys.. I try and get all those memories in.. I am so thankful for Project Life as I do not feel I have to be so PERFECT… I can add my photos, a few statements and call it a day.. not like old school scrapbooking that I felt I was becoming a prisoner too. I love love love this …and again.. Can you be my MOM???!!!!
Keep it up Becky.. you are a true inspiration
That Claire melts my heart every time – -
Hello Becky! I am with you, I did this as well for my two boys classes, 1st and 4th grade, and I admit as well, it was alot and I got in over my head a bit too. I had one too many late night cramming sessions as well as running to the store to buy some more white cardstock for printing. Thank goodness for 24 hour Wal-Marts….ha!
Please do share how you plan to go about it next year! I would so love to know as I will then have 3 in elementary school, Kinder, 2nd and 5th grades….although I am not too sure about the 5th grader yet. Of course, he wants to, he’s my son, but I did find out this year that there were a few (mainly boys) in his 4th grade class that were not really into it and did some sloppy stuff. Teacher had a talk with them and they improved some. I just don’t know if I am nearing the age of “it’s no longer cool for mom to come to class and do this” kind of thing. My son is not that way, to him, it’s still cool, it is mainly just a few kids I would assume. So, I thought to ask the teacher next year and them maybe just have her or I ask the class if they would like to do this and take a vote. I also have an 8th grader, a 10th grader and 12th grader and yes, by that time….”love you to death mom…but no thanks!” Ha! But I do document first days with them, school dances, prom, homecoming, senior highlights….things that other moms take pics of as well for their kids. Of course, most of these kinds of pics are taken at home before they leave for the event.
So, please keep sharing your thoughts on this! I, too, so enjoyed it and really got to know the kids well and I feel will be a good thing as they grow up together in school and as friends. And, if you have any thoughts or ideas for the older elementary grades….4th, 5th and 6th grades our ours, please share! That is new territory for me, and I get stumped at times on how to go about it.
Thanks so much for sharing! I was looking forward to seeing how it went for you! Glad I wasn’t the only one cramming late nights!
P.S. Question: Did the colored folders you used (last pic) have a see through front or did you have to do something for the cover of the folder? Thanks!
Wow, so very cool! So often, we get a yearbook from school and other than the school photo, it’s a challenge to find maybe one other picture of my kidlet in the rest of the yearbook. It’s not a lack of participation, but rather being constantly on the move. This truly is a personal yearbook, showing a kidlet’s growth throughout the year at school. Wonderful, Becky! :>
Love this! Do you have a shopping list? I would love to do this for my daughter’s class next year. 6th grade is their last year of elementary school, what a cool gift it would be for the kids!
Such a fabulous idea! Thank you for sharing. This is such a great way to document the school year, and something they will always treasure. Plus, it’s awesome to get them addicted to documenting life now!!
I did this as well and am cramming to get finished. Was having some trouble with the teacher letting me in the classroom – she is very organized and uses each minute for teaching. The last week of school I have to fill in Jan – current… Wish me luck. I used the same color for each child – so they would not fight over folders. Yours are pretty though. I hope the parents will love them when they finally get them. And next time, I might ask for a few dollars from the parents, since I foot the bill for the entire project this year.
It is kind of comical that you posted about the kids year books, because I had a late night session just last night! Yes, I too am silly for trying to do two classes all by myself and now I have three weeks left to complete 44 books! I love your advice and have a suggestion. I planned the year out in advance, printed the paper back to back and then used a plastic binding comb to complete the project. Although I would have loved to had page protecters and and binders, this worked better for my budget. Thanks Becky for the idea, you are amazing!
I’ve been doing this with my daughter’s 1st grade class this year as well as 2 other 1st grade classes. Some of the kids asked if we can continue this next year, so I took my daughter’s up to show the 2nd grade teachers thinking one or two might be interested. The entire second grade team not only wants to do this, but seems very excited! I will also be working with my younger daughter and her kindergarden class (only ONE kinder class for now). Thank you for posting this idea along with the pages for us to use
Tomorrow I’m going in to complete the May layout page, and so grateful for this project. I did it with my middle son’s preschool class last year—only 10 kids, which was much more doable. This year, in my oldest son’s 3rd grade—with 28 kids, was a challenge. The cost really added up (I usually had 2 photos per child on each layout). I’m in a small town, 200 miles from any Target or cheap printing.
I used the clear front folders Becky recommended instead of binders this time:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006HXBJO
and a huge box of page protectors.
I didn’t do all the prep work before going in, other than printing photos, pages, and cutting patterned paper. Students had to complete the written portion of their page before getting their photos (took me a while to learn to do this…otherwise they are too distracted looking at each other’s photos and this motivates them to get to work!), and then I just passed out supplies in the room. Lots less time (with preschoolers, I used 2 gallon zip lock baggies to have each child’s supplies separated and ready, which does work better with little ones).
I’ve decided to do this project just once with each of my son’s—so I’ll take next year off and do it again when my youngest starts Kindergarten.
I’d be happy to share the pages we made as inspiration (I really like our end of the year wrap-up and some others). Perhaps a flixr group would be the best way to share??
Thank you, Becky, for all the inspiration. I know the kids will treasure it, and their parents, but I especially appreciate being able to get to know my son’s classmates at this age when it’s more challenging. Nothing like photographing a child every month to get to really know him!
That is awesome!! Last year I did 5 books. One for the art teacher who I worked with of many of the projects we did with the kids, one for the second grade teacher, one of each of the paras in Kindergarten. Those were the ABC’s of Kindergarten with each letter being a special thing. Yes, I managed to find something for every letter. The biggest accomplishment was a scrapbook for the Kindergarten teacher (134) pages of everything from first day of school, field trips and every day life in the classroom. All 5 albums took about 3 months to complete, but I wouldn’t change a thing. So much fun putting it together and to see the expression on her face when she got it was worth so much. She was truly surprised even though I made her one when my other daughter was in her class. We have 23 days of school left and I’m doing just one album for my daughter’s 3rd grade teacher.
While my kids did not do these at school, I have been holding on to their stuff all year and will be putting them together. However, we are going to do something similar this SUMMER…they will be visiting their grandmother on their own for the first time…so while they are there, she will be doing some pages and will be carrying this on at each grandparents house throughout the summer! Gonna be great to document the time–
amazing! I think this is so incredible! I wish someone would have done this when I was a kid! I think I would b=have a lot more memories of my childhood classroom experience! thank u so much for sharing! I hope I can do this in my daughters 1st grade class next year!
Becky – I just have to say that I’m so happy that I decided to do this project with my daughter’s 3rd/4th grade class. We are nearing the end of the year and I’m finally putting their pages into each of the binders and it’s amazing to see how much the children grow and change each month.
As time consuming this was, it truly is the one of the most rewarding projects I have ever done. I’ll be blogging about it soon as I think it’s such a wonderful project to share.
Love your lessons learned – especially #2. Consider doing the bulk of preparation at the beginning. If I do this next year, I definitely want to take the time to get all the prep done. I’m usually working on this the week before and sometimes the night before, making myself crazy:) But in the end, it’s always worth it.
Thanks so much for your continued inspiration!
i was wondering, when you go into the classroom and introduce yourself (on the first day). what kinds of things do you tell these young children about what they are about to do. how do you captivate your audience in a way that they can comprehend and feel that this is a very important process. as adults, we understand how much they will love reflecting back but these young minds think the whole process is silly.
I experienced the same late night, last minute preparations for my kids’ scrapbooks. I did make books for my two boys’ class. Luckily they are in the same class. It really was a lot of work but every time I am at the school the kids would ask if we were going to scrapbook. Please please please share your new plan for next year’s scrapbooks!! Thanks so much for sharing all of this!
I SO wanted to do this with my daughter’s kindergarten class, but since I was pregnant at the beginning of the school year, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to get it done. Now I am here at the end of her first year, wishing that I had been able to and hoping that I might be able to figure out how to do 1st grade starting in the fall. But now, I have a little baby hanging out with me, so timing might be tough.
I LOVE all of your ideas and one of these days I am going to figure out how to stretch time, so that I can work on a few more of these projects for my girls. Thanks for always inspiring!
I am so proud of you Becky. What a wonderful gift to those kids, AND the teacher!!!
I love this idea and would love to do it for my kids next year. My question is how do you approach their teachers to suggest the idea? I’m sure you have a reputation at your school now, but for someone who is just introducing the idea to the teacher, what do you do?
Thanks!
These are awesome! YOU are awesome! Do you have any ideas for teacher’s gifts for end of the year? Also, when is the last day of school for you guys?
What a fantastic idea! My daughter would absolutely love doing this. She always wants to scrapbook.
Okay these are awesome I remember one time you should how you did these the first time with Porter I think we need a video I am a pre-k teacher and would love to do these with my class for the past 3 years I have done a 5×7 digital photo book for each child packed with pictures parents love them but I like adding their art work and handwriting to the book as you have done please video or a post with lots of details and pictures you ROCK been a huge fan of yours for years
To introduce myself to the teacher, I e-mailed her with some details and a link to Becky’s blog (one with examples of the personal yearbook). I used last year’s model, with more structured pages, for my first-graders. Then I went in and talked to her more and came up with a few themes. Fortunately, she’d done a kind of scrapbook with them before so she liked the idea. Now that I’ve shown them closer to the finished product, other teachers want them too! We’ll have to see on that. One little girl also said she hoped she was in my daughter’s class next year so she could do this again!
One thing I’d do differently, though, is how I do this with the class. Our teacher preferred that I take the kids individually in the hall when it was time to do the scrapbook part so she could keep teaching and they would just come and go (many of them left for other things throughout the day) and that got really time consuming, even with only 13 kids. I hope to convince the teacher next year to do it all at once, in class. That should make it go smoother. AND now that I know what I’m doing, I’m going to get better about having the paper cut early, not last-minute. I’m hoping to just cut it this summer. I won’t know exactly how many, but it’ll be a start.
Hi Becky,
I did this with my daughter’s 2nd grade class and son’s 4th grade class. It’s such a great idea, but really time consuming. The kid’s LOVED doing them, but I found it very challenging to have the classroom time needed to complete them. We still have a lot to catch up on and only a little more than three weeks of school left. I’m torn as to whether or not to do them again. The end product is awesome, but I’m a little burned out:) I’m excited to hear what changes you will be making for next year. As much as I love the pictures the kids draw, that may be the part I would cut out. It just took too long to complete. Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!!!
DETAILS, PLEASE!!!
Do you charge a small fee for supplies? Where do you get the folders (what brand) and do they come with page protectors? Do you use scrapbook specific 8.5×11 or a thicker regular white paper? How do the parents respond to this project when they bring it home?
Thank you so much for all the wonderful ideas and advice…keep it coming!
BTW, could you put all this great info in a printer-friendly version??
In a comment above, I share a link to the amazon product Becky shared (and I used) for folders. They don’t come with page protectors. I just bought a huge box in September and filled each folder with 10. I used regular printer paper with 1″ of patterned pager on top. I usually had the following month prepared in advanced so I could print the paper double-sided, but the page protectors can handle two papers if necessary.
If you click on the “Free stuff” link, Becky does have it all in a printer-friendly version, though I think everyone has to adapt due to the class age and size.
Hope that’s helpful!
(This year’s kids haven’t taken them home yet, but my son’s preschool classmates and their parents LOVED theirs and really appreciated the photos most of all. On the May page for my older son’s 3rd grade, I was amazed at how many kids wrote about their yearbook as the project they had enjoyed most!)
What a terrific idea! My son starts school in September and I’m now feeling inspired about approaching his teacher to discuss the idea of year books. As you know, scrapbooking still isn’t that huge here in the UK and I’m always looking for ways to spread the word!
If there was any chance of a more detailed post about how you went about it, that would be great.
Thanks!
LOVE this! I’m trying to get mine together tonight for my preschoolers! I will enlist help next year and be better prepared from the beginning! I promise!
Becky – HELP! You inspired me to do this with my daughter’s 2nd grade, but I don’t know what/how to bind them. Where did you get the report covers you used? I never asked for any money from the parents, so I can’t do anything too expensive… Help would be appreciated!!
This is such a priceless memory. I wish you were my kids room mother (and I was mine!!! haha) but that was over 10 years ago.
I just found out about your site and am “liking” you on FB so others can benefit from all the great ideas
I honestly thought that I might cry when I got to the photo of the children, each holding their own book. They will treasure these all their lives. They will read through them over the summer and look forward that much more to seeing their friends. (They will also ask if Mrs. Higgins is going to make books with them again next year – LOL!!)
What a real, tangible and intangible gift to each individual child.
Seriously thinking of taking this on for my kids this year. Especially since 8yo DD will be in 4th grade; there has to be a great way to incorporate issues like being kind, acceptance, etc. that are particularly challenging to deal with at that age.
Such awesomeness.
MONDO COOL MOMMY POINTS FOR YOU, BECKY!!
Hi Becky, I’d love for you to answer these questions in your next Q&A since I’m sure there are others who’ve faced this same dilema.
How do you handle kids who move into the class during the year? Do you do make up pictures & pages with them or do they just not get those pages? Also what about the kids who are gone on picture days? Do you come in another day to take their photos?
I’m cramming to finish my 1st grader’s classes scrapbooks in the next few days. My husband says no more school scrapbooks! I’m doing them next year anyway! LOL
BUT, I’m going to get everything ready during the summer. Also this year I used your old format. Next year I’ll go with your newer, simpler one. Thanks so much for the inspiration (and the downloads)!
My two cents, as just a fellow mom…new kids got the same cover page and then started with that month when they joined the class.
Absent students—if it was essential to have a photo of them, eg: the library/what I read theme really needed an individual shot of them reading their favorite book, then I kept a list of who was absent and came back to take them (sometimes I took them on the next scrapbooking day and they just waited for their photo). Other months, when it was a group shot of the class (Halloween or with all their yearbooks for May), I figured they’d enjoy the photo of their friends even if they weren’t in it. I took photos of each child with their Anasazi shelters they had created, and those who were absent got a photo of just their project. Sometimes just gotta make do!
I really want to try to do this with my kids classes next year. I thought maybe they were too old but I am going to try. If anyone has any ideas to adapt this for older kids (4-6 grades) I would love some input. I might take some of the prompts from Becky’s Life Story journals and blend the two together. I hope that is okay Becky.
I want to do this with my daughter’s class next year! However, My daughter wants to do a POTD Summer Project. I was wondering if you had a template like this for Summer?
Well, done! I did this for my daughter’s pre-K class last year. It was fun, but sometimes overwhelming. She completes kindergarten this year and I have been saving her photos on the computer, because I want to do a digital project life for her. I could not do the “class personal books” this year….hubby hasn’t found work ALL year so we are really strapped.
Thanks for your inspiration!
God bless!
What do you plan to do differently besides doing the prep work in advance?
Love them!
This is how I first came across your blog via jade @ super organiser mum.
My 6 year old and 2.5 year old do two pages every week while I do my project life.
After doing it for a year we love how it has come together and our Lil man (aka 6yo) looks forward to doing it every week – not bad for someone who finds any type of school related work b.o.r.i.n.g!!!
Is there an online album where we can share our pages? Id love to share ours and get ideas off others.
I just want to tell you how awesome it is that you do this. I so wish my kids were in your kids’ classes!!!
Becky, you’re a star. Always inspirational, not just on the craft front but in showing how to live life as a generous and kind human being as well. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
what a great idea -
I printed everything and am planning on presenting it to her teacher the first part of the year. I’ll pick up all the supplies during the back to school sale and then hope that the teacher says yes… if not, I guess I’ll have it all ready for her in second grade.
I also printed several of your prints that I found when downloading all the templates and I ordered your door print for my family room. I am excited to get it and put it up.
I did this with two classes as well. 40 of the little books. Here’s a few things I did to help keep on top of it as I work full time as well. I used the cardboard folders with 3 brads that you get when school starts that are about 3 for $1.00. I did two colors for each class so I could keep it all straight. The boys got one color and the girls got another color. I put their names on the outside so that my kids could help me get the right picture in the right folder without messing it up. When I knew I was going to be doing two classes I spent a Saturday cutting paper. I cut a ton of scrapbook paper I was no longer using into 2 inch strips for the top of the paper. I made a girl pile and a boy pile then this way when I got the pictures back I just had to match up paper. Everyone got the same paper for Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines Day this made it even easier. I also put the little adhesive squares on the paper and pictures, so that they only had to peel off the backs and place them on the paper. I also did the same theme each month for both classes. I admit I was really worried if I would be able to keep up with both classes. My kids teachers were so wonderful to work with. I am glad I will only have one group to do next year as one child is heading to middle school. I am so glad that I took the time to do the books with both classes it was fun getting to know the kids and see them change throughout the year.
I tried to find the files that are the forms that the students fill out and you place in the album, but the search just turns up your post. Where can I find the originals to print out and use? Are these different than last year or the same? thanks
I love that you got your kids involved. I try to do a weekly journal writing, but it ends up being monthly. They complain about it now, but I know they will be SO grateful when they are older to have their personal histories written down.
This is really a wonderful project. I wish someone had thought of it while I was growing up in school. When I have kids, I will do this. Maybe I can volunteer in any of my nieces/nephews classes. We’ll see. this is awesomeness!
Hi Becky,
I have loved this idea since you started it and now I’m excited to prepare for doing it this fall for all three of my girls’ classes. (yikes!) I can’t wait to hear about how you will be doing this project for 2011-2012. I also have some questions:
1. How do you explain the project to the kids?
2. Do you bring in the folders every month or just give them at the end when they are assembled?
3. Do you make one for the teacher(s)?
4. Do you try to make all the paper the same for the boys/girls?
Thank you for your constant inspiration!!!
@Annetta: I did this with my son’s 5th Grade class during their Language Arts class. I first approached the teacher early and then she asked the principal (some schools make a big deal about taking the kids pictures, etc.) and then the teacher sent a letter home with the kids letting their parents know who I was and what I would be doing.
and I would be doing a scrapbooking journal with them. They would be writing, drawing, coloring and I would take pictures of them occasionally. It would be THEIR book-no grade would be given. 2) I didn’t bring in the folders every month-just the 2 page sheets for the month. 3) No, I didn’t but what a GREAT idea! 4) I had plain white 22lb paper and had them first write- then do whatever picture/drawing and THEN decorate. I also had a day last week where we did “catch up”–sometimes they were sick and missed a month, or we added a new student and I gave her the option to complete the pages or take them home and do them.
1) I told them that I would be coming in at least once a month. They would have a break from their class
They complained and whined —why,why–the teacher and I laughed–because last week they ALL made sure they had ALL of their pages done and actually had the teacher call me the month I was out sick and just sent the pages in for them to do with my son.
I got the 2 prong folders on sale at the beginning of the year (1 cent/each!) and tried to come up with new pages each month. The very last page was their picture so they can see how they’ve changed and also was a page that had 20 ?- ie- My favorite movie is…my friends are…. etc.
Good luck and have fun!
Oh yes- I forgot- I ALWAYS had them write or print their name or put their initials on their pages– so they would not get mixed up.
Hi Becky,
Thanks for the great idea! I saw your post earlier this (school) year and knew I had to make scrapbooks for my kindergartener’s class. I wasn’t able to use your templated because the lines were too close together for beginning writers. I had my daughter’s teacher create a paper with just a few dotted lines and a large space for artwork, drawings, or photos. Next week is the last week of school and the kids are really excited to be able to take their books home. I’m also excited to give them such a great gift.
Debbie
Printed out the free templates for these yearbooks, but I can’t print the page that states your directions/hints. Is there a way to do this? thanks so much!
Just found this and love it. Any hints for a 4th grade book? I will be teaching 4th grade part time this year and would love to do this for my students. Not sure if i could find a parent volunteer or not.
Just blogged about this!
http://onetoughmom.blogspot.com/2011/08/super-cute-free-back-to-school.html
It is sooo worth it to do this with your child. I did this with my daughter’s 2nd grade class 2 yrs ago and just today a little girl came up to me and said thank you. I didn’t know what for and she told me she was so happy I helped her make a scrapbook and she still loves to look at it. She also said thank you for always making school more fun and doing special things with us at school. Sooo worth it! I am doing this with my younger daughter’s first grade class this year. Yes it’s a lot of work but if you only impact one child this much, it’s still totally worth it!
Hi Becky,
I love this idea and am doing it with 3 of my children who I am homeschooling. Just a question. Do you have them write in pencil or ink? I started with pencil, but wonder how long that will last. They are First grade, Kindergarten and preschool (I am writing hers).
Thanks
I love this idea!
We are homeschooling. While I admit I am a photo fanatic, I never thought about doing something so personal. Kid #1, age 6, has a knack for drawing and story-telling. I can’t wait to see what he’ll think up.
It’ll be a great way to capture our outside of the home activities with our different homeschooling groups! Because, contrary to how it sounds, homeschooling? Isn’t very often spent at home!
Hi Becky! I love this idea! The earlier they start taking an interest in preserving their history the better!
Where did you pick up those report folios? They look strong are they polypropylene? I would like to purchase the same ones, if not similar.
Thanks,
Margot
