My Project
Creating 8th-grade memory books is a meaningful way for students to reflect on their middle school experiences and celebrate their achievements. These personalized projects allow students to document their growth, both academically and socially, through stories, photos, and creative artwork. The process of compiling a memory book also helps students build skills in organization, writing, and design while encouraging self-expression.
Teachers will guide students by providing templates or prompts to help them recall important moments, such as favorite memories from field trips, sports events, or school projects.
Including sections for personal reflections, classmate messages, and goal-setting for high school can make the memory books more thoughtful and purposeful.
Incorporating the creation of memory books into the curriculum not only fosters creativity, but also reinforces key language arts skills like narrative writing, descriptive language, and summarizing. It's a great year-long activity that gives students a sense of closure before transitioning to high school while allowing them to keep a tangible reminder of their middle school journey.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
