Lets just say the prospect of teaching 25, year 2 primary school students suddenly left me with butterflies in my stomach with only 10 minutes to pull myself together.......... but I did, and I am doing it all over again 3 more times!!I am teaching year 1 and 2 students the importance of preserving their memories through the art of Scrapbooking.
