Over the past few weeks, I’ve found that my idea of keeping a scrapbook was a bit more ambitious than I originally intended it to be. I thought that I would fairly easily be able to find new things to do, time to make the page, and e able to keep up with it – something that is proving a lot harder than I initially thought. As classes come to a close, along with various other commitments and concerns, I’ve found myself with a lot less free time than I thought I would have making it really hard to do things to put in the scrapbook much less actually make the scrapbook. For the most part, I’ve cut down to making a scrapbook page once every few days, rather than once a day to make more time for other things that need to be done, as well as be able to ensure that I’m actually putting the amount of effort that I want to into this project – it means a lot to me, and even if it’s not as big as I thought it was going to be, I still want it to be the best that it can be.
On a different note, I know that I mentioned the other week that I had talked to a kindergarten teacher friend of mine about doing this project with her kids as a fun teaching tool – something that she implemented for the last few weeks of her class. She’s having each kid make a page or two about things that they have done during the quarantine so far that they have enjoyed and the parents can drop them off at her house when they pick up/drop off reading material. After she gets all the pages from everyone, her plan is to put the book together, and get copies made for all the students so that they can have their own record of what’s happening. This particular expansion of my project is one that I am super excited about and can’t wait to see the end result of.
