End of the Year Slideshow Title Slides, Music, Tutorial and a FREEBIE

Do you make an End of the Year slideshow for your class?? I've been making one for about eight 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!!!

Three years ago, I was tired of putting the BORING titles in my slideshow and had this vision of making my own title slides. So, I put some together and WOW!! Did it make a difference!!! It totally cutsified my movie!!!! Well, last year, it was time for a make-over! So, I recreated all of the slides and added a TON of new ones!!

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 in case you have some random pics that don't really fit with any of the other headers :)

 

Next is music!!! Choosing music for your slideshow can be a difficult task!! There are so many good songs out there and looking at gigantic lists can be VERY overwhelming!!! I've decided to keep my list short and sweet to give you some ideas and not overwhelm you!!

Here are some of my favorites that I have used in the past and some that I'm planning to add this year:
