I’ve written about altered books before. I really enjoy losing my self in this project. I started working on one with my students and was determined to finish it. I left the art supplies out in the classroom, so I could paint a page, let it dry while I did paperwork, until eventually I had collected all the poems I wrote this school year. Most of them were posted on our class blogs as models. Now I have a keepsake for the year as well as my own personal book of model poems.

Reflections on the Teche 
Very cool!
I’ve done altered books before with my students, too, Margaret. You have a great idea here to collect all the poems written this year. The pages you’ve shown are gorgeous, especially that heron page.
I absolutely love what you did here. I am inspired to dress up one of my notebooks with more watercolor and paint! I am partial to the heron poem, I love those birds.
Wow! Art and poetry combined to make a meaningful keepsake. Thanks for sharing. =)
