School Memory Album: A Collection of Special Memories, Photos, and Keepsakes from Kindergarten Through Sixth Grade

I had been looking for a book to easily record memories for my little one and ordered this mostly because of the pockets inside. I'm not the type to scrapbook or print things, I just don't have the time. What I like about this book is that it's easy to record a few memories and move on. The pocket is great for special artwork, projects, notes and extra photos from the year. Each year asks different questions for you to review with your child and complete which is fun. My only complaint is that I wish it went higher than sixth grade, but I suppose by the time my little one is in sixth grade I'll want a different book!

I wanted a special gift for my grandaughter who was entering kindergarten this year. This turned out to be just what I was looking for. It is the perfect place for her and her parents to record her early school experiences. It is well constructed and has ample slots for special items, and enough space to list important events. She was so happy with it, she printed her name in it before I even had a chance to look through it. I was very pleased with this item, and ordered it, based on the other reviews which I had read - they were very helpful.

The School Memory Album is a short but concise album/guide meant to preserve special memories from kindergarten through sixth grade. The guide includes sections to place pictures, sheets with special headings to jot down special events that took place during the school year, and folders in which to place special documents, additional pictures, and anything else with sentimental value. It offers pre- made pages for each elementary school year, making it a nice, convenient alternative to scrapbooking, which requires making up everything as you go. The pages in this guide already have labels and headings, so all you have to do is fill in the blanks or paste a photo.The pages in the School Memory Album are colorful, with different patterns and objects for each year. The same is true with the folders- they each have their own unique colors and patterns. The drawings and figures on each page are juvenile, but they gradually become more mature with each passing year. Children will like the individual pages and their fun themes and parents will like working with their youngster to fill in the blanks.If there is one thing to criticize with the School Memory Album, it is the limited amount of available space. Each school year includes only five pages on which to preserve memories. This isn't much, and not only are there very few blanks to fill in, there is also very little space on which to write. Granted, prompts such as... My Teachers Name Is.... do not require much space, but more general headings like When I Think About Third Grade, I Think of...... and..... I Feel Really Good about Myself When it Comes to.........offer only a few lines to compose your child's thoughts. You have to cut corners, abbreviate, etc., in order to squeeze your feelings in the designated space.Elementary school is full of challenges, achievements, milestones, and most of all, memories. Preserving these important moments is important and the School Memory Album is a nice little album in which to enjoy the cherished photos and memories from your child's elementary school years. A few more pages and more space would be nice, but this is still a well- designed book that will help keep your child's memories safe and sound long after sixth grade is a distant memory.

Very well put together. I had one for my daughter. I really wanted a close related one for my son. This was perfect for the time span I was looking for. I love scrap-booking and keeping memories and this was perfect in my aid. My only worry is with placing the artwork and class work in the pockets, that the spiral pleats won't hold up. I haven't over packets and I'm only to 2nd grade. However, I'm am going to be mindful of not "over stuffing" the book and only keeping the "important " pictures and crafts.

I love this book. I had doubts because there was no pictures online, but I read a review and decided to risk it. I'm so happy I did. The book has a place for a school photo each year, 2 pockets to put reportcards and art work, plus it has spaces for pictures of friends and spots for the child to write in their school information, age, and other answers to different questions depending on the grade (ex- if they like to color, to what they would like to achieve the following year.) This book will save the momories for a life time without the hours of scrapbooking. Perfect for the busy Mom or Dad!**The book is bounded, but you may need to keep an eye on any little ones who want to flip though the book. My daughter pulled the first page out by trying to unclip a pin I had added. Im not sure how she managed to do this so quickly because the pages are fairly thick.

I was so happily surprised when I got this school memory album. I have a different one for my daughter and it pales in comparison. I love the large (full 8.5x11) pockets to keep special school work and art work in. There are fun places to journal and the graphics are great. I will for sure get this same one for my other 2 kids. The only thing I do wish it had was a place for pre-school...but this is only K-6. Still...love it!

I bought this product for my daughter - I was looking for an album from kindergarten through to the end of high school, but this one is fabulous for the first 7 years of school. It has a space for merit cards and some artwork, school photos, and keeps track of what my daughter likes to do and her friends through these first years.The book is bright and very user friendly, with a family tree to fill in too.I would (and have) recommended this book to friends looking for a similar type of album.

Nice for you child beginning school
