Subject: Autograph Albums
From: "The Katten Family" <katt@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
I wanted to express my thanks to those who answered my request for "autograph
album wishes." With your help and "brainstorming our memories " I was able to
put together a lovely project for my 8th grade girls. More than half of my
English class is leaving for ulpanot, leaving the girls they have been studying
with since first grade. For the project I gave each girl a blank 40 page
notebook (simplest type). I designed a cover page with the school's name and
date on the cover. I also printed out several pages for them to fill out (in
English of course). There was a page entitled "These are a few of my favourite
things" with categories such as favourite song, singer, food, etc. Another
page "Let's keep in touch" - in which the girls had a place for addresses,
e-mails, phone numbers. I also included a birthday list to be filled in,
"Famous last words," and a place to list the names of all the teachers who
taught them since first grade. The list of various wishes w
as distributed and reviewed at the beginning of the lesson and I walked around
the room spelling words and helping the girls . The only "rule" was that in
the English class the wishes had to be written in English. Whoever they wanted
to collect wishes from after class could be written in Hebrew. One of the
girls assembled a notebook for me and passed it around for the girls to write
to me.
The girls absolutely loved the idea, and thanked me profusely for doing this
for them. I enjoyed every minute of it and it's so heartwarming seeing my
students requesting autographs from other teachers and staff. If anyone is
interested I can forward the page of wishes that I collected from my various
sources.
Have a great summer holiday.
Shabbat Shalom
