Student Treasures
By bamagirl

I teach reading to three classes of 5th graders. All three of my classes published a book with Student Treasures. We did an alphabet book about the city we live in. We live in a fairly small city, so some of the letters
were a little difficult. The kids had to brainstorm together and get creative! Each student completed two pages for the book (a colored illustration on one page and a paragraph explaining what his/her letter represents on the opposite page). A few of my students got to do two alphabet letters. The majority of my kids ordered the book, and everyone was very pleased!! :p

The

books are hardback, and they were $14.95 each plus $2.95 for shipping/handling. Total cost for a book=$17.90. I'm not sure why they charge the shipping fee because they just ship all the books together in one big box. :confused: I guess it's just another way for them to earn a few extra bucks! If they wanted deluxe binding, that was an additional $4.95. Everyone was so excited when they arrived! As long as you get all the letters back from the kids, the teacher will receive a free copy. Since I did a book with three different classes, I received a free copy of all 3 books. The free copy is actually the original pages, but they have put them in the deluxe binding. It is still very nice.

This is a big project, but it was worth it. I would definitely like to do it again next year! :)
