Book Study Part 1: In Pictures and in Words
Deedee Wills kicked off our book study and she did such a great job that I just want to add a few little snippits. By sharing some pictures of student writing from my classroom.

Each time they pick up a pencil or a crayon they are making meaning through their illustrations. I'm excited about really ... continue reading...

As children get older, they often wonder how some of the content they learn in school will apply to their life. So, teachers have to show students how the material relates to various aspects outside of school. However, one part that students never question involves the alphabet.
