Aloha everyone! The year is winding down quickly and I am preparing for that last week to keep my class busy.
I have copied off all of my pages for my Aloha Memory Book, and now I am binding them up with my latest classroom tool.
I got this from mybinding.com and it is a great little binder to have in class or at home. It's small enough that I can take it back and forth whenever I have a project.
You can see it in comparison to the glue bottle. It is pretty simple to use and you can punch up to 5 papers at a time. It was great for my little booklets.
I also have my own stash of combs when I need them.
Yay, all done and ready to go for next week!
I also wanted to share a sweet Memory Book that my room parent put together for me for Teacher Appreciation Week.
Apparently she had sent home a note and a template for each student to fill out. The kids then returned the envelopes to her and she put it all together.
These were absolutely adorable and I cried while reading it. The kids were scared for a minute until I told them that they were tears of joy. They all gave me lots of hugs and I cried a little bit more.
I have to say I had the most fantastic room parent, and if you ask me I think she could start making her own products to sell on TpT. I couldn't help thinking "I love this template, can I get a copy?"
Are you making memory books with your class, or do you make other items? I know some of you get very crafty and I am always looking for fun new ideas.
Their books look cute and yours looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove the surfboards they decorated, so you!

Such a lovely, thoughtful gift ! I never thought about binding the memory books, a great tip :)
ReplyDeleteDang! Now I have to get a personal binder! Is it easy to put on the combs?

What a sweet gift! I have a rocking room mom and I am not sure what to do for her to say thank you.
