Ladies, around Christmas I tea and coffee dyed a lot of papers...thinking I might have time to make several junk journals. I then sewed lace, trims, etc to many pages. Then I added pockets to some pages and made a few tags to slip into some of those pockets. Then in January I accepted several sub dates...and next thing I knew I was asked to be the teacher of the fifth grade Reading, Science and Social Studies as well as the Sixth grade Science and Social Studies....until the end of the school year. Wow! It is fun! But it is lots of planning, lots of grading...using a computer, etc.
The fifth graders read a story about going out west in a covered wagon in the 1800s...and how the people kept a simple journal about their adventures. My mind said, why not throw the idea out to the boys and girls that they could learn to make a junk journal. They jumped at the opportunity and our classroom became a mess of papers, glues, photos, string, yarn needles,impatient kids and a very tired teacher...but on Thursday every journal was finished. They were excited to go home and show their parents...all 23 of them. One boy even returned with his filled with photos that he and his mom had put into his journal. Each journal had two signatures and I have very little paper left over. I think the project was a success!!!

Oh Marilyn!! I just love your story, thank you for sharing! What an amazing idea and project you shared with your class! Sounds like they loved it! I bet you just hooked at least half the class into journaling the rest of their lives! Wish I had you for a teacher when I was growing up!! :-) Inspirational!! XO
