My Project

As the school year comes to a close, my second graders are eager to reflect on all they’ve learned, the friendships they’ve made, and the memories they’ve created. I want to celebrate this special time by giving them the opportunity to create their very own scrapbooks and memory books filled with photos, artwork, written reflections, and special mementos.

This project will allow each child to design a personal keepsake of their school year, showcasing their growth and accomplishments.

End-of-year reflections are a powerful way for students to connect to what they’ve learned, while also expressing their creativity. Scrapbooks and memory books serve as a tangible reminder of their hard work, achievements, and unique experiences. They also foster fine motor skills, organization, writing, and artistic expression—all of which are important in developing well-rounded students.

The finished scrapbooks will be cherished for years to come, reminding students of their second grade journey. This project will allow my second graders to reflect on their academic and personal growth in a creative and meaningful way. The scrapbooks will serve as a reminder of their hard work, their friendships, and the milestones they’ve reached. Your support will help make this end-of-year celebration one that my students will cherish for years to come and motivate them in their future educational journey!
