Scrapbooking

As I start this summer, I look forward to a lot of scrapbooking.  So I thought...is there a way to incorporate scrapbooking in the classroom?

Sure!  Why not?!  Let it be a creative writing project for the whole class!  Each student can decorate a page about themselves and putting all the pages together will create a nice masterpiece for the class by the class!

Ideas for the kids to include in their pages:

Ask for a funny story about them, a favorite quote, an embarrassing moment, who's their hero, who they want to be when they grow up, their favorite vacation, etc, etc.  Let the kids choose from a variety of questions to include in their page!  They can come up with their own ideas as well!!

Also, ask for the kids to bring in pictures if possible!  And provide materials as well such as magazines to cut out pictures, stickers, markers, pretty paper, you name it!
