In my weekly newsletter this week, you may have noticed that we are making a classroom book on Wednesday to go along with the book Mary Wore Her Red Dress by Merle Peek. Some other classroom books that we have made this year are Guess Who? and Look, Look, Who Do You See?. Having the student's help make the book not only gives them great ownership and motivation for reading, but it also exposes them to numerous early literacy and print concepts.
I will be sending these books home in a "book bag" with your child to read and share with you at home. I just ask that you return the books after reading so we can share them with the rest of our families. We will be making many more classroom books and I look forward to sharing them with you and I'm sure your children do too!
We can't wait to read them!
