For the past two years, as head room mom, I've had to put together a scrapbook for the teacher. It was something that our PTO put on and we did it for Teacher Appreciation week. The PTO bought the binders and page protectors and we had to do the rest.
I really enjoyed it, even though it was a lot of work. I had to do 2 scrapbooks both years. This year, our PTO didn't do it for teacher appreciation. As the year was ending, I felt that I should still give my 3 teachers a book. I knew I would regret it in the summer if I didn't make a scrapbook for each of them. So, I sent 2 papers home to each child, there were 57 total between all 3 of their classes. It was very last minute, but I was so happy with how they turned out.
Here is the book I did for Ashton's teacher.
I had each child fill out these two papers
In the back of the book, I put photos from different parties and events from the year.
Hadleigh's teacher's scrapbook
Sawyer's teacher's scrapbook
Hi there, Steph, thanks for visiting my blog - I love yours too - especially this post ... geez, and you thought MY ideas were good?! Holy Cow, these teacher albums are really wonderful, I LOVE them! Did you cut craft paper to give them their cover designs? And are those craft store stickers for the glittery "5th Grade" badge, etc?? I am room mom again next year for my little one - I love that I already know what our end of year class gift will be - THANKS!!
Anyway, I'm so glad you stopped by - would love to see more of you, hope you'll "follow" ;-)

Hi Sloan, thank you for the comments on the scrapbooks. They are so much fun to make and give to the teachers. Yes, I used scrapbook paper from Michael's for the cover, back and spine of the binder. I try to figure out what colors they like or if they like flowers, etc. and I try to stick with that. The glittery badges on the spine of the binder that say the grade are scrapbook stickers from Michael's as well.
I'm glad I could help you with your end of year gift for next year. :) You helped me with my school work organization, and I thank you for that! :)
I will definitely be following your blog and I'm so happy to have found you. Have a great day!
