LearnFromHome Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I homeschooled my three children many years ago following the WTM approach. They have since graduated University, obtained their Construction/Mechanical/Electrical Engineering degree. They're all working in their field and are very successful! I still have all their school essays and short stories that I would like to give them as a gift. However, I am lost at how to go about it. Has anyone done something special to archive or put their children's hard work throughout the years in a book or other ideas will be very helpful! Thank you in advance!

alisha Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) You could scan and do a shutterfly "photo" book (or whatever the popular photo book maker is these days.) But never pay full price-there are always coupons and special deals, especially around certain holidays.

kbutton Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Take the best and make a really nice pro-clicked book of them? I would photocopy any on crumbly paper that you want to include. I would sprinkle in some photos of them doing school if you have some memorable and fun pictures. If they drew pictures to embellish their work, that's especially fun.

ElizabethB Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) I put their best work for each grade in a clamp folder. They enjoy looking through it. I included pictures they drew as well as their work. I also had a summery page with pictures of them at that age and what they studied that year. Clamp folder, up to 100 pages per folder: https://www.amazon.com/CRANBURY-Ringless-Binder-Removable-Transparent/dp/B08P1SXJKS/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=11IAFTW3T46CL&keywords=clamp+folder&qid=1644375806&sprefix=clamp+folder%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-3-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE0RzgxWTBRRFgyREcmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAxODk1ODEzUjRSVDUxUkNMQUZHJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4NzkyOTgyOERBT1hJVFY2WUpYJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== Edited February 9, 2022 by ElizabethB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoes+Ships+SealingWax Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I plan to create one-off bound books via Barnes & Noble Press for my DS’ compositions at the end of elementary, middle, & high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Certified homeschool hoarder here. Each kid has a huge plastic tote full of their K-12 odyssey. I like the ideas above for binding some of it and may decide to do that in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
