For ?creating a class book try The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown as a model. It is a great format for inspiring individual student pages in a class book. Each child can create his/her own page and the book can have a theme or study-related topic. ?We've done them as gifts for our librarian, thank you's for field trip docents, and as culminations of a unit of study to determine the importance of the topic.

We use the Lucy Calkins units of study for writing. I would like to throw in a class book once a month to give the students a break from the LC writing program. (I teach 2nd and we teach it K - 2, so they are SO tired of small moments by second grade) I'd like to make some class books where we take a pattern from a familiar book and make it our own. I think this is a great way to break things up and have student work published and available to be read by anyone in the class. Any thoughts? Suggestions?? ? Has anyone done this before and have any 2nd grade suggestions? I was thinking about making our own version of "Here's to you".? ? Thanks,? ?
