Instructions
Create simple books with folded paper. Help children add photos or drawings from the week's activities. Add stickers and decorations. Write simple captions based on children's words: 'I made a crown' or 'We found dragon eggs.' For toddlers, let them 'write' with scribbles. For infants, create the book for them to explore and take home.

Send these books home as gifts for families to share and read together.
Assessment
Note children's recognition of photos from activities, their contributions to the book, and their interest in the finished product.
