The first graders are almost finished "publishing" their books. They are writing their own versions of Laura Numeroff's "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" series. They started by listening to Laura Numberoff's books. I showed them a version that I wrote when I was a first grader. Then they planned their own versions using a graphic organizer. Then they wrote a rough draft and worked with a teacher to edit and revise their work. They also wrote and typed an About the Author page and made a dedication page! These are outstanding books that I hope the first graders and their families will treasure forever!
