The Bobby Soxer Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Every year I make a scrapbook/yearbook for my DS. It helps me to have a theme based around a quote. This year my mind is blank! If you can think of anything it would be a HUGE blessing. Thanks! Past years have been: 6th grade – Quote -One never learns to understand truly anything but what one loves. ~ Goethe Theme -Loving the 6th grade Each page had hearts cut out with sayings like â€Love is for the birds†when he went to a program about birds or “Love thy neighbor†on the page with his community service projects. 5th grade- Quote – Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself. Theme - Defining the 5th grade Each page had a definition like Lego –noun- a construction toy consisting of plastic bricks… Then a sentence about his Lego club and the Lego store etc. 4th grade – Quote - Home is where your story begins. Theme - The story of 4th grade Each page had a book with Title, Setting, Characters and Plot describing each activity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danielle1746 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 What an awesome thing to do! As far as ideas, I'm not a scrapbooker, and I don't consider myself creative, so bear with me, but when I think of my rising 7th grader, the first quote that comes to mind is one from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Life is a journey, not a destination." I'm not exactly sure what your theme could look like, but I am picturing a road map/world map type thing, with different events/places visited as stops along the way. I know with my son, he is so focused on "growing-up" and looking forward to being a teenager (or high school or driving or whatever the next step is), that sometimes I feel like he's missing out on the things he's doing right now. I wish I could slow him down and call his attention to all the places he's been, people he's met, and things he's learned/accomplished along his hurried path to adolescence/adulthood that are molding him and making him who he is and will be.

Love it! :hurray: That's a great idea and very creative! Maps and geotags marking places he went and places he studied this year ... I could get get into that. Thank you!
