Ok, so I must admit that I am addicted to Pinterest and today while the girls were taking their naps/quiet time, I came across a very inspirational idea and decided to get started on it right away.
I have 4 daughters and want everything in their life to be special and have meaning. What I plan on doing is to buy 4 copies of "Oh the Places You'll Go" by none other than Dr. Seuss and having each teacher that they have from now until graduation sign it with a little note of their time with my child. When each girl graduates, Joe and I will present them with their copy of the book with the notes of inspiration, etc. Now, most of my girls are older and have already completed several grades, Angie will be the only one I can start the book with from Kindergarten, so I emailed/Facebooked Arianna and Michaela's previous teachers and asked them to write a letter about their time with each child. Once I get these letters, I am going to decide if I want to make a scrapbook (and ask future teachers to write a letter, as well as autograph the book) or if I will just fold these letters and place them in the book. I'm leaning more towards the scrapbook idea. As far as Angel goes, she has switched schools so many times throughout her 4 years of school that it will be impossible to track down all the teachers she has had. She told me that she would switch schools every couple of months :(. So, unfortunately, I will have to start her school career in the 4th grade.
If you would like to do this with your kiddos as well, ask me and I'll send you the link because I'm new to blogging and can't figure out how to link it to this entry :( Help please!!
I'm hoping by doing this, my girls will find inspiration everyday of their life in all the places they may go.
This is a great idea! If you want to link something you will highlight whatever text you want to add a link to and at the top of the edit bar you will see a link button, click it. A new window will appear and then you can paste the link! Good luck :)
