class books
By Judith

I do one every week or so. We do predictable charts - a 4 block ideas. On Monday and Tuesday each student dictates a sentence which I chart. For instance, "I know its fall because.....it gets dark early". Everyone completes the sentence.
On Wednesdays students read their own sentences and the class echos.
On Thursdays, we do a few things like which sentence has the longest word. Find the nouns, etc.
On Friday we read again. The students copy their sentences and expand on them and do an illustration. I put these together into a class book. I just use a file fold with a fancy, laminated cover. The students love to read these books.
