Thanks to everyone for their great ideas.

Sounds fun! How about using photocopy paper for "the guts", and use a
wallpaper cover? I think it would be fun to put a picture of each kid on a
different page, then have each of the other students 'write' "I like
Mikey because..." The book could be photocopied on a different color of
paper for each child's page, stapled, and given as a keepsake. Please pass
on more ideas as you get them. Barba
Hi,
This is what I did, I had the children draw a detailed picture of themselves and write, My name is: ____________ I am __________years old. Then I put all the pages together, ran copies, stapled them and each child gets a book with everyone in it. Then they can pass them around and sign everyone's book.

I laminated a cover, photocopied each child's school photo (as well as mine
and our 2 aides) on half sheets of paper and bound them.Stacy

Last year I put together a yearbook that had a scanned picture of our class,
a few pages of scanned "kindergarten highlights" pictures, a few pages of "kids
info" (each child had a quarter of a page.. I wrote their name, birthday, favorite
___, and then they got to draw a pic. of themselves and write their name), a
page of Kindergarten ABC's (each letter had different things listed that told
about our year), some autograph pages (kids would autograph the book next to
their name) and then the last page was 2 pictures of the child from the year.
This year, I'm not quite so ambitious. I had a digital camera all year, so
I'm doing it this way. Cover (on cute paper), next section is kids pics (from
digital camera).. each child gets a 3rd of the page.. I have a pic, name, b-day,
"my favorite part of kinder was .." and "when I grow up I want to..." and typed
in their answers. I then I left a line so that they will be able to sign each
others books by their picture. Then there are several pages of "k highlights"
pages where I just put in pictures/captions from the year. If I get time in
the next few days, I might add some poems, or dig out my k-highlights list and
do that also, but school ends Friday, and this really just snuck up on me!
If you have any questions, let me know.. good luck!Melanie/k/fl
I juts this weekend made up a "memory book." The first page, after the
cover, is about their teacher..."My teacher's name is ___________. Here is
my teacher" on this page they draw me. The next page is "My favorite thing
about Kindergarten." the next is What I liked best about Kindergarten."
next: "Here are my friends." and last autographs. It uses 4 pages
folded... very cute!Hope this helps!

I make up a cover and staple enough blank pages for each child in the class
and myself. I arrange the tables so that everyone is sitting at one long
table. Each child starts off with their own book and they draw a picture of
themselves. After five minutes, everyone passes their book to the left. Each
child draws a simple picture and writes their name. We keep rotating the
books every five minutes until each child gets his/her book back. It takes
quite awhile, but the children enjoy "autographing" everyone's book.Penny/K/FL
As an end of the year "yearbook", this is what I have done at times:
1. Make a page of "faces"---I glue one school picture per child (the small ones that they give to the teachers for school records, etc.) onto one page---I Xerox this off, and give each child their own copy.
2. I give each child their own blank "yearbook"---blank Xerox pages stapled between a construction paper cover.
3. We label the pages together. One page says "People at my table", another might read "Friends I play with outside", or "Friends in my reading group".... whatever.
4. As we label each page, I stop and let them cut out the pictures of the people who match each heading....and they glue them into their own yearbooks.
5. When we are done labeling and gluing (and usually on a different day), the children have each other sign their names under their pictures.
Nothing amazing, but they seem to love it!
(I have begun to put an "autograph" page at the end of their memory books instead---each child signs his/her own name on the master copy, and each child gets a copy of the class "picture page" . )
Have fun, whatever you decide to do! :)

Hi everyone,
I teach two year olds. For their memory book, I put different colors of copy
paper in a three ring folder (with pockets). I included their developmental
progress sheet, their good-bye letter (with poems I took from the ring-
thank-you!), thank-you's to the parents, a class list with phone numbers, and
the child's handprints with a date. The rest of the book was photos I took
of them throughout the year. The parents loved it. Some cried!

handle to time it would take....
So to shorten it, I had each child draw a self-portrait with a pencil on a
1/2 sheet of paper. I photocopied these onto assorted colors.As a class we assembled them. For the cover I put a scanned picture of the
child on their book along with a label that said "My Autograph Book". I
stapled them then punched some holes on the side that they sewed with
multicolor yarn (just to make it look decorative.) They also added some
stickers.We sat at tables and 'autographed them'.
I spread the whole activity out to 3 days.I think that next year before I photocopy the drawings I will add a page
number on the bottom. This way it will give them practice putting numbers in
order when we assemble it. And it will be easier for them to find their page
to autograph.Thanks so much for the original idea!!

If all that autographing is too much for little guys, or uses up too
much class time, why not have the kids write their autographs once using
fine black flair pen (thin marker) then photocopy that? You could have
the kids draw little self-portraits beside the autograph, or paste on
photos (which photocopy well enough on most machines to serve the
purpose).Kathleen
This is what I did:
I made a cover using my print shop and some darling clip art from Creative
Teaching Press.
I used the booklet form on my print shop so that I could use front and back
of half pages.
Each child had a quarter of an 8x11 sheet. I wrote: My name is___. I am
____years old.
I left a blank space for the child to write name and age. I then pulled 2
students at a time to write their name and age and then draw a small
self-portrait. I then placed a small picture ( left overs from picture day)
beside the self portrait. I went over the whole thing with a black marker
and then photocopied using the lightest setting.
( this way the colored photos copied). I stapled them together and will
pass them out the last day of school. (June 9) they will color their own
covers and add their name.
Thanks to all for their ideas !

I did something similar: had each child do a self-portrait using pencil.
The child also did an "autograph" (some of mine are 4's & still needed dots
or high-lighted name). I then scanned the images into the computer,
resized, and printed as business cards using Print Artist. I ran the pages
of cards off onto bold colors of paper & the children cut them apart on the
lines. Each of my children already has a loose-leaf binder for artwork,
photos, etc., so I simply added a sports card trading page for the "trading
cards" to be inserted.
