Spring..a time for budding authors!

I always encourge all children to write their own books.  Writing a book does not mean they have to know how to spell or even write letters.  It is how they express a beginning, middle and end. They can use letters, words, scribbles, scratches and drawings. You can give them the opportunity to write a book by taking 2 pages of white paper, fold it in half and staple on the binding twice.  You can offer to dictate and write for them once they read it to you.  Give them a topic or tell them to write about anything they like!

OR... I have used these when discussing specific themes.  This is a great idea and you can read it to them or they can "read" it to you!   It is a spring mini book. http://dltk-teach.com/minibooks/spring3/index.htm.

Enjoy the sunshine and hope that warmth follows soon!
