We just finished up our books, "You're Finally Here! What Took You so Long?" These books were kicked off on the first day of school after reading, "You're Finally Here!" by Melanie Watt.
The students brainstormed their ideas on a bubble map. They wrote down three things they did this summer that kept them away from 2nd grade for so long! Then these ideas were written in complete sentences. The students learned that a sentence is a complete idea with a capital and end mark. The final page of the book is what the students are looking forward to in 2nd grade.
We conferenced their sentences, and they started working on their own books with illustrations. Way to go on your very first book of 2nd grade!
