OMG!! thats great credits for scrapping!!!

I thought about it but since I don't teach English I don't think that my district would approve my credits But for anyone who teaches English, LA or Elementary I think it would be great!!

I actually heard students talking about their scrapbook yesterday it was so cute!

I could get credits for scrapbooking!!!!
I'm an English teacher....wonder if I could do that!!!
How great would that be?

jaime - could you write it up to your superintendent that you plan to scrap in class? like if you take your class on a trip to a Mexican restaurant...

OR

have them bring in a picture from home and scrap it in Spanish??

I truly wonder Erica, he might go for it but I HIGHLY doubt my chair would by it! Sadly.
She is truly more concerned about their oral skills in the 7th grade as opposed to their written ability. That is the focus (her belief) of the 8th and 9th grades and since I have been SO vocal about never wanting to teach any other grade other than 7th I think she would veto me so fast my head would spin! Though I still may take the class just for my own knowledge and possibly with the hopes of starting a club.
