Bookmaking Mini E-Term, Sophie's Book

Each April, our school sets aside a week for experiential learning.  Typically this has been for middle and high schoolers (though the elementary school engages in experiential learning quite often through their regular curriculum).  For the last few years I have accompanied the 8th grade class on a trip to Philadelphia to learn about urban and rural water issues as well as the history of the city.

This year, the elementary school had morning sessions during this week that they called "mini e-term."  Students could select from several options such as mini-society, gardening, needlework, and bookmaking.  Hannah and Sophie both participated in the bookmaking option (though Sophie missed Tuesday due to her dentist appointment to have cavities filled, which was a semi-traumatic experience for which she received nitrous oxide, but that's another story).

Here is the book that Sophie created during that week.  I will put Hannah's on the blog tomorrow.
