I found the 10×10″ spiral notebooks in the scrapbooking section at Walmart.  The covers are plain and colored, so they will decorate nicely when we get around to it.  Inside, there are 50 card stock, archival quality pages just the perfect size for a memories journal.

I copied several pictures from the trip in wallet size.  Then, gave the kiddos the pictures, some brochures, scissors and glue sticks, and let them have at it.  The only thing I asked was that they write some of their memories on each page.  How’s that for a secret writing lesson?

They loved this “assignment”!  We all agreed that we should try to do a page or two for each of the field trips we take this year.  What a great keepsake these will make!
