Every child makes a picture of apple picking (I get a file folder) so the first page has the comment Mary said (I type that and then the next page has the picture) each child makes their own pictures for their book. IN the end I will have 21 different memories and a picture/project to go with it. I then bind them into a book. I plan on posting a book this week.Mrs. Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07797211336092447991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949286667642178502.post-49131106909357137852012-05-28T21:57:09.917-04:002012-05-28T21:57:09.917-04:00Thank you SO much for this great idea!

So, do the students get a book with their page 1st and then copies of the other students' pages? Sorry for the questions, but I would love to do this project with my class this year! What exactly goes into each book? How do you copy/bind them?

I ...I do a timeline with my daily calendar routine. I like for my students to see the number of days linearly as well as in a grid to see the numerical patterns. So, when a special event occurs, I write a sentence with the date and we also put the number of that day in the school year. Then I tape it below the number on the timeline. At the first of each month, our journal time is taken up with writing about our favorite memory of that month. At first they just dictate and write or even trace their name. Later they copy dictated sentences and we work up to me writing the key words and they construct several sentences. Before Christmas, we just wrote on a small slip of paper that I printed out that says "In September,..." I put together a scrapbook page for each month with either an individual or group picture for the month. The pictures may not match the memory they wrote, but I feel that's OK. This year, after Christmas, I started preparing the page ahead of time and they wrote directly on the page in the space provided. Each child gets a book of their writing from every month and its a great snapshot of their progress as a writer. I can't take credit for this. My daughter's K5 teacher did this and it was a great gift to us.Ziggyfriendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066832202132938026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3949286667642178502.post-19107728482053038162012-05-12T11:04:41.047-04:002012-05-12T11:04:41.047-04:00This is so cute!
