Class Books
By Teacher5yrs

Clip to ScrapBook   
I have my 2nd graders make enough class books throughout the year that each child will get to take home a classbook from 2nd grade. We play bingo at the end of the year and each book is the prize for that round. Once a
child wins a book they can still play, but earn a skittle for winning the next time around. Anyway, my parents have always loved that they will get a special keepsake from their child's year. I teach in a small school, so most of these kids will be together in highschool and it is fun for them to have 2nd grade book that each of their classmates participated in.

The first one I've
done so far is a book on Summer. They are to fold a large 12x18 paper in half, and on one side write a sentence and draw a picture of something you did this summer, on the other side write a sentence and draw a picture of something you did that is not real. For example, one girl wrote "in the summer I went to the swimming pool", and for pretend "I was bit by an Anaconda snake."
