Our Class is Publishing a Book!

I am proud to tell you that your child's work will be featured in a a hardbound book, ALL ABOUT ANIMALS (created by our class)!  This will be a treasured keepsake in our classroom library for years to come! There will be information coming home on Thursday if you wanted to order a copy for home:-)  We have done this every year and we still have students that will stop in to say that was one of their favorite things they did in 1st grade and that they still will look through their "published" book:-)

Here was the project:
Our students chose an animal last week that they wanted to learn more about.  They checked out books from the library and have been reading/studying their animal for the past week and sharing their facts with fellow classmates.  Today was the BIG DAY to start officially working on our class book that will soon be published!  (The kids were VERY excited to be "real" authors today!) Each student wrote a one page piece & illustration about their selected animal.  We had students writing about a lion, manatee, snake, panda bear, dolphin, etc.  (Everyone had a different animal.) We will finish by Friday and will have a class "celebration" when the book arrives!!!!
