Class Ideas for Scrapbooking

If you are a teacher and are looking for a fun art project to do with your class, what about a collaborative class scrapbook? A class scrapbook is a great way to incorporate art principles into a scrapbook that commemorates all of the things that took place during the school year. You can have all of the students participate. Here are some class ideas for scrapbooking.

Unit Scrapbook

If you choose units to do with your students--whether they be about social studies, science or math--you can scrapbook those learning experiences. Makes sure to bring a camera to school on days of hands-on learning and snap some photos of your students having fun. Then, make a scrapbook of all of the different units you taught, giving each unit a couple of pages and noting what the class learned. Ask the students what their favorite parts were and put their answers in the scrapbook.

Field Trip Scrapbook

Did you take your students to the zoo? Did you embark on an overnight campout? Field trips and adventures are great scrapbooking ideas. Take pictures and then write down the details of the trip, why you went on the trip and what the students learned. It is a great opportunity for students to remember all of the fun they had on various field trips, and the new things that they experienced.

Individual Scrapbook

Consider commemorating each year's class by giving each child a piece of card stock and allowing them to make their own page about themselves and what they learned during the year. When everyone is done, you can compile the page in a memorial scrapbook.
