How to make the CUTEST End of the Year Slideshow EVER!!!!

Do you make an End of the Year slideshow for your class?? I've been making one for about seven years now. I used to do a paper scrapbook for each kiddo, but man, that was a TON of work and so, so expensive!!! To make a slideshow, all you have to do is buy a big pack of DVD+Rs and you're ready to go!!!

I had this brilliant idea a few years ago to make my own slides and insert them for my titles. Two years ago, I made a pack of them and uploaded them to TPT....well, this year, it was time for a makeover!!! And, let me tell you, I think these turned out pretty stinkin' cute!! ;)

All of these slides are saved in PNG format, so they are just images....just like the photos that you will add to your slideshow!! VERY easy to use and will definitely add a HUGE CUTE FACTOR to your movie!!

Are you unsure because you've never used Movie Maker before?? Stay tuned for my tutorial at the end of this post :)

Here's what you get:
(Click on any picture to go to my TPT store and check them out!!)
 I have included a Preschool, Kindergarten, and first grade cover slide. There are also all of these different First Day of School OR First Week of School slides to choose from.

Here are my Monthly divider slides. The months of August-June are included!! I stuck to more of a seasonal theme with these instead of holidays so that more of you will be able to use them :)

 I tried to include slides for every special event, occasion and/or celebration that you might have!!!



And, I also included a slide for every Holiday!!


And, here are some extra slides for some of the things that you do everyday-just incase you have some random pics that don't really fit with any of the other headers :)

And, here is my little tutorial to help get you started!!! Hope this helps!!

  5. Thank you so much for the great tutorial using movie maker! I love your designs. Some questions to ask - when do you add your pictures? I have about 2,000 pictures of my students since I do the "memory books" and I have two sessions of kindergarten. Is it posssibel to add after each month throughout the year and then when it is finalized in June then make the DVD? Should I have all the pictures in a folder and add to each month as I go?Thanks so much!

    1. Hi Maryann!!! Yes!! You can absolutely do it that way!! Just like any document that you are making, you can start it and then just save it :) I would recommend to continue to save it throughout the process anyway-just to make sure nothing gets lost :) And, yep, just continue to add your pictures to your folder that you are using. Just, DON'T ever move the pictures out of the folder once they are in your movie :) That's when you run into trouble!
      I never make my movie all in one sitting. I do some, save it and come back to it later. Then, when you are all done you can burn it. That's a great question!! Sorry I didn't touch on that in my tutorial! :)

  8. Just purchased this....thank you! Wondering if you could make a Father's Day slide. Also could you add an Early Kindergarten slide (same as Pre-K, just different words)? THANK YOU! danah@livinglifeopen.com
