Author’s Celebration

Posted on

During the month of February, the Kindergarten students wrote how-to books. Throughout the unit, students learned how to use sequence words, label diagrams, add tips/warnings and write introductions. Some of the topics that students wrote about included, “How to paint nails,” “How to get dressed,” “How to brush your teeth,” “How to ride a skateboard,” and “How to treat a book.” At the end of the unit, students were able to sit in the author’s chair and read their published books to their peers. Here are a few pictures to show their celebration.
