Jen: I agree, the HS Yearbooks are a load. Mine's 332 pages. Ouch. The newspaper is a great idea, and I wish I had thought of it before school let out. Plus, lit magazines allow students to see the creative side of their peers. Kyle
I am with you, Adele. I totally missed the boat with getting my students to make creative things for me to bring over. The end of the school year came and went in a blur. I do have some pictures of my classes that I was thinking of making into some kind of postcard or bookmark or something . . .
I also picked up a cool photo book of Los Angeles for a home visit gift. It shows off some of LA's most prominent features in an interesting way.
I hear ya.... in all the chaos during the last week, I forgot to get my kids to sign the Postcards!!!! Well, in any event, I think the postcards themselves are really cool, and I'm sure we can come up with some creative ideas to fill in.
I'm considering bring a History of Los Angelesor pasadena Book
In addition to school yearbooks, I also thought literary magazines (student-produced work) would be cool. I was able to get about 10 of them from our school's advisor.
