Year Long Memory Book and May Bulletin Board (Saves you HOURS)

This student memory book turns into a student portfolio or student scrapbook for the entire year. No more having to stress about switching out bulletin boards since this memory book doubles as a student bulletin board that students easily change our every month to actually help you stay on your A-game!

This memory book has everything you need for directed drawings, art, quick draws, writing, monthly crafts, and more!

Easily start this scrapbook at the beginning of the year for a beautiful (and easy) memory book to take home.

The best part is that you'll never have to hog the binding machine again because at the end of the year, students just pull their memory book folder off the wall, quickly add the cover, and take it home!
