Publishing Party!

We have been working VERY hard the past month on writing "How-To" stories! Each child made a list of things where they were the "expert." They then wrote step by step directions/instructions of how to complete or make this certain activity. After creating several stories, every child made one "published" copy of a "How-To" story. They edited their work and then re-wrote the stories in their neatest, nicest handwriting. To help celebrate these published copies (we had them "bound" to be more professional), we had our very own Publishing Party! The students were able to read their stories to one another and leave comments in one another's comments pages in his or her book. We had some VERY proud authors! It was a great day to celebrate the firsties amazing writing!
