We read Margaret Wise Brown's The Important Book, which a sweet, touching story that follows the same pattern on each page as it describes something small in daily life. For example,
"The important thing about snow is it ______.
It ________________, It __________,It _______________,
but the important thing about snow is it __________."
You repeat the beginning important quality in the ending line.
I then assign each student a secret friend from our classroom to write about after modeling with a favorite teacher from our school, and we go through the writing process to write our own Important | |
Book. We brainstorm adjectives, rough draft, edit, and publish. We then share them with the class. Each child is so excited to share what he/she has written and see what someone wrote about them! We also display them in the hallway. It is so heartwarming!!!
