I have a secret to tell you... I love class books. I have never seen my little ones SO engaged in the library as when they are reading books that they created. But the secret is, friends, that I have been BAD at keeping up with making them. Naughty, naughty teacher! It seems like I get so caught up in all of the eleventy billion other things I need to do that making class books kind of taper off by about October. Whoops! I made a new pinterest board to inspire me this year... with so many adorable ideas, how could I not actually make them?!? Here are a few of my favorites Source: clickinmoms.com via Mary on Pinterest Alphabet Photo book... ADORABLE!
