Tips:

-- Personalize these pages with friend's names and teacher's names.

-- Don't forget the dumb tests that many states require (Michigan's is the MEAP.) Unfortunately we live and die with these scores.

-- Try to write down those stories that come home. Put them in a school year journal so you can refer back to them when you are building the pages for that school year.
