Summer lifebook pages

Last week, I did lifebook pages with all the X RTC girls that were on the unit... all 9 of them! That never happens. I've been presenting the pages in sections, one piece at a time. I gave them the fill-in-the-blank first and when they were done with that, they got the beach picture to color...when they were done with that, they got the foam butterfly to decorate, etc. It works SO much better with these kids than just handing them all the pieces and letting them have a go. It's just too overwhelming. Anyway, they did a great job. I let them put the elements on the page however they want, as long as they fit within the square. The children always walk away proud of their work. Here is an example:



Oh, and the beans I had them plant the time before were supposed to be an easy win, but only one child's plant flourished. Maybe she has a green thumb though, seeing that she has also started a "composing" container. lmao...
