Each is made--as much as possible--with the student's favorite sport/animal/season/hobby. At least that gives me enough to go on to fit some of their favs into each. There are many lacrosse players this year, but I have yet to find cute lacrosse fabric. I was thrilled to find some fish and wolves on some leftover pillowcase material.
Kids are done the 21st of June, so I'll give them away the last week. I think I'll get each a little bag with goodies bubbles, candy, pencil) and this will be included.

The photos are group 1--then the backs, group 2, then backs, group 3, then backs.





(Gosh! I had to sign back in twice while preparing this post. What is up with that?)

Sew nice of you to think of the kids each year. I'm sure they will remember you for years to come.

Great bookmarks!!! Your students will love them.

Your bookmarks are super! I like how you personalized them to each student with fabrics to suit them. Your little gromnets(sp) are neat, do the apply well to fabric?

What a great idea!! I hope it encourages them to read over the summer!

That says alot about you as a person and as a teacher that you took the time, money, and effort to do this. The kids were blessed to have you. That being said, the bookmarks LOOK great, too!!

Looks like this is a tradition that you'll have to continue as long as you teach at that school.
