If you’ve wondered why I’ve been so busy lately besides all of the day to day things with my own kids, I’ve also been scrapping! Yes, I’m that weird teacher that creates a scrapbook of pictures and work for all 24 students. {When I taught first grade I helped them make their own}
My partner teacher and I spent hours just trimming corners and adding a background paper to each and every picture. The picture above and below shows only a small portion of the pictures that we worked on.
I warn you now that this post has TONS of pictures. I’m going to show you each page of one of the books. I love this project. It provides the parents with ONE book to keep for the year. It has pictures and work by their child throughout the school year. I hope you enjoy the pictures.







Are you tired yet? Ha! This is just October. Lots more to come, so pace yourself if needed. 🙂











I am already making a plan for how I want to do it differently next year. I want it to be a little easier for me, but still super cute for the parents. I’ll keep you posted on that as I work on it this summer. This last pic is the 2 piles of 12 books each.
Have a fantastic day! So, who is going to make these for their preschool? Do you give out or get a book like this from your preschool? There are so many creative teachers out there. What other great ideas do you have?

Fantastic scrapbooks. Love the pictures and then a little kid art on each page. Very nice. I wish I had your energy. To keep my parents clued in, I sent an email EVERY day that outlines things we did in morning circle, bible story of the day, art projects, math/science we may do and then final circle. I give them prompts to ask their children. At the end of the year, I make a DVD from all my photos with kids names included so its a memory of their preschool year. That is my year-end gift.
Thanks Deb! I love making the scrapbooks, even though they are time consuming. The DVD is also a fantastic gift for the end of the year. Thanks Deb for stopping by!
Wow! Such a great gift for the parents! You are one heck of a good teacher to do all that, they are lucky to have you 🙂
