A Walk Down Memory Lane

Friday saw the final stage of our "Paper Project".

The day began with all the students writing some version of the sentence "I like to visit ______."

Afterward, my job was to take each sheet of paper we had made, and put it on a piece of colored paper with their name on it, put it in a little plastic page, and then let them watch Aerisolphal and I put it into their portfolios.

Every student has a small portfolio filled with pictures, work, certain projects, and papers on learned subjects from this whole year. These time capsules of memories are not often allowed for them to see. So when they do, it is an automatic highlight of the day.

Seeing the paper they made go into the portfolios brought such a glow of pride and joy to their eyes I held it for the rest of the day. 

This is what I wanted to be a teacher for, and here it was right in front of me. 

I don't even know what to expect next, so I guess you ought to stay tuned for tomorrow's episode:

I don't know.
