Our Souvenir Collection

Personally, I'm not a big fan of souvenirs.  My idea of a souvenir from Europe is original artwork that ends up on my wall.  My children, on the other hand, love souvenirs.  Every year as summer draws near, I start piling up items to give away.  (The process actually starts earlier in the year, when I start storing things that I think will make for good souvenirs.)  Check it out.

 This tub is full of 50 classroom books that we've made.  They're all going home as souvenirs.  Each child will get at least two.  (I've posted about some of my classroom books here.)

This is a pile of posters, charts, and graphs we've made over the year, as well as other miscellaneous souvenirs (ie. letters or cards we've received) that get to go home.

These little guys will come in handy.  They help me figure out who gets what.  The only problem is fitting all these souvenirs into backpacks.
