So I'm jealous of my 13 year old daughter. She is in grade 8 and has a teacher who is having them do an Alphabet scrapbook. Every Monday they get the WHOLE day to work on their Scrapbook! How cool is that? I pulled out the one my son did when he had this teacher for my daughter to look at. She is all ready to make hers 10 times better!  I got her a 30 page scrapbook at Michael's for $12. Doubled sided gives her 60 pages. She plans on doing some 2 pay layouts. I got a plastic container to fit some supplies and papers to get her started. I've shown her where to find the paper pads she likes to get more out when she needs to because I work in the evening. I have donated some of my scraps to her class. Sent in two paper trimmers (I've upgraded and am in longer need of those 2). I have 3 hard cover Creating Keepsakes related scrapbooking books that she's going to take in. This teacher really loves creativity. When my son was in her class she noticed he liked telling stories. So she encouraged him to write on his own. His whole class was involved in a Star Trek story.  |

Wow...I definitely love scrapbooking but I have to wonder if 20% of their school week spent scrapbooking is wise. I know there's the writing component and that's good but it seems like a lot time.

I would assume that she meant one whole class period. I can't imagine being allowed 5-6 hours of scrapbooking in one day. |

They could learn a lot with this. |

We have grade school K-8. She gets the same teacher for most classes. Has a different teacher for French and Library period. And yes, it is the WHOLE Monday. We don't have junior high here. She goes to highschool next year (9-12).
The teacher is using different parts of their learning for this. So I think it's a great idea. She's a teacher who thinks creativity is a great way to learn. You can't just write a few sentences and slap a few pictures on the page. She posted some pics of the kids working on their written parts and they all looked like they were concentrating so hard. Next week they get to bring in some photos.

Awesome! Would your son let you show us some of his pages?

Don't know how to post a pic directly from a phone, but if you save a pic on your computer, it's easy. Just click on the REPLY button (top right). An Attachment button will appear top right in your message pane. Click on it, select the photo on your computer, click Okay, and it's done. |

Wow! I love it when creativity is encouraged. I tried to do that with my kids as much as possible growing up, but they would have never had the time to do that for an entire day in school. They would have loved it though!

My daughter told me this is a big part of their writing mark. They have started putting some layout together. She had fun going through pictures for the pages she is currently work on.

My son graduated in 2012, although he never had this in his school - there were a few times that he had a project assigned and by my suggestion and assistance, he created his projects in the form of scrapbook pages. I enjoyed helping him out so much with these since otherwise he thought that my scrapbooking and photo taking was insane. Happy to say that these projects always ended up getting the most attention from his teachers and very high scores!

I think it's awesome! We made a scrapbook when I was in 6th grade and I still have it. It was a family history project and I seem to remember that we had directions for every page. I remember that we worked on it every day for maybe two weeks or so? And as a teacher I can say this--let's be honest, the kids will remember this WAY more than they will any other lessons that they "could/should" be doing instead.
