Books, Books, Books!!

Over the past few months, the majority of our class has become passionately obsessed with making books!  We are loving all the ideas and the motivation to write books and read each others stories.  Our book collection is growing by the day, we have books on Super Heroes, Winter, Spring, Animals, Community Helpers, Hockey, and so much more.

 

The authors in our class decided that we needed to create a bookstore within our classroom - "The Book Academy" is officially under construction!

After we had a discussion on different genres of books the idea of a class book was brought up.  The students became enthusiastic about creating a Healthy Cookbook filled with their favourite recipes.  Two students decided that a letter needed to be sent home to ask for help obtaining their recipe as well to some teachers asking for theirs.  This is an example of authentic and purposeful writing at its best!

We are looking forward to sharing our books with you!
