Well, she barely got it done in time for the Author's Fair--no, really, I was sitting there after the fair had started on the mall floor with my back against some shop windows trying to shove her pages (some done vertically and some horizontally of course, and with text on both sides) into the clear plastic pages of a photo album our dear ES Terry had brainstormed as the solution to her binding dilemma. But she had put so much thought into it, and it was such a sweet idea, that I decided we would "do it right" for the next author's fair. And decided each girl could do her own. And then though, hey while we are at it, maybe the other Vintage Homeschool kids would like to join in the fun!
It really is a fun way to record not only the passing of time and the rhythm of a year, but also your own kids lives at this stage. I have a feeling if you and your kids do a really good job, you will end up with a book you want to hold on to and bring out year after year.
Here are some other books of months that you and your kids might enjoy reading while getting into the mood for this project:
We love this first one--gentle story about a little girl remembering with her mother what happens in a year's time.
This series has a book for each month, although I have not read them.
Ok, this last one won't be all that helpful with the project. But I loved this book when I was a kid! ; )
If you know of other books that are similar in vein that you could recommend as creative thinking fodder for this assignment, please leave the titles in the comments.
