I copy an entire sheet of each child's school pictures when they arrive then I have a supply for projects all through the year. I laminate the picture for the book for greater durability, then punch a hole in top to run a string through. Slip string through the photo and through the holes in the pages. Tape string to inside of last page. The picture can be slipped through the pages as the pages are turned and read.
Staple pages together or bind with a book binder.
The children really enjoy reading their books to their classmates, as well as to parents and others. Objectives include teaching children to become familiar with written print and to write for a purpose using resources such as dictionaries, word cards, invented spelling, etc. Mastery can also be checked by looking at the completed project, as well as the work in process. No, thank you. No, thank you.
