Since we had a snow day Friday and we are down to one car I've been home all weekend and I've been working hard to get these books put together.
I woke up Saturday with a great idea.... Zig Zag sew the spine of the books. Not to toot my own horn...but GENIUS! I'm so excited about these little books and I can't wait to get all the books done!
My photos are uploading correctly... so I can only post 1 photo right now.
1. I colored the little books or had my community helpers color.
2. Cut up all of the pages to equal sizes.
3. Laminated all the little pages, cut again, leaving a slight edge around the pages.
4. Organized and ordered the pages of each book.
5. Then I Zig Zag stitched right at the edge of the spine of each little book. One stitch through the paper and on off the edge of the book.
6. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat... (I have about 100 of these books I want to make)
Here is a close up of one of the little word family books.
Students make these in class weekly and get to take them home. The ones I'm working on are for a classroom set, I want to make sure they last.
You can get *FREE* word family little books from Scholastic teaching resources.
enjoy! Hopefully I can repost with more photos later.
