Our final published books!

It's hard to believe how quickly the year is winding down. Last week we finished and "published" our final writing projects, called how-to books. I loved seeing the topic each writer picked out. Their writing has come so far over the course of this year, with each student making at least a year's growth in everything that goes into the writing process -- choosing a topic, planning, drawing, spelling, handwriting, editing, and publishing. Below are the proud authors and some of their books!

After lots of work writing, drawing, editing and sharing our how-to stories, we finally published them! Here are the proud authors with their stories. Another kindergarten class came to our classroom and the kids got to share their hard work!
