All About Me
Mighty Memoir Ivan
This is the packet for our first major project!!!
Each child will have four weeks to complete this. I’m not concerned about the photobook that they need to use. I’ve purchased them for kids in the past…and the ones that I have used have been between $1.00 and $3.00. If you would prefer not to spend any $$$ on a photo book, that’s fine. You can build one using construction paper, or card stock…or get creative!
Read the directions to find out what each page needs, or ask your child!!!
We have examples in Mr. Pete’s room if you need to see one!
Have a great day!!!
