scrap books

Today we worked on our book covers. First we sanded the covers outside to smooth the edges. Then we ate banana bread. Then we painted the covers bright and fantastic colors. I was really curious to see all the hot color options the kids chose. Usually sketch books and such are so somber and neutral. I think there is a market for scrap books in lime green and tropical yellow, accented with fuschia stripes or blue polka dots.

Next week we plan on putting the books together. Glue. Glue. And more Glue. The students should be collecting materials to preserve and collage.
