=Put a Short Activity/Lesson/Project Title Here=

Round 1/ making personalized books for struggling kinder students || Language Arts || Kinder || several weeks || Kinder students will compile their pictures and provide text for a personal book that they can read. || making sure that it is the student's words, structure, etc. so they can reread it successfully. We will continue to consume other similar books and encourage students to write and illustrate their own independently and share. Please identify opportunities for differentiation. The opportunities are endless. Read alouds, guided reading and shared reading books will enhance their knowledge of how books are made and enjoyed by all. || So far the students are so excited about seeing themselves in a book. This activity is a huge motivator for other students, too. I always xerox their books and put them in the classroom browsing boxes. ||
