Autobiography Unit

We are finishing our Autuobiography mini-unit in writers workshop. The kids took home a "All About Me" sheet to fill out with the family for homework so that they would have all the information they needed for their autobiography.

We spend about a week and a half working on our content and table of contents. The reports turned out super cute!! The kids enjoyed them and I really did too-- you learn some fun facts about them. 

Finally we created our covered with a self portrait the kids made themselves. I think they turned out pretty adorable, if you ask me! :) 

You can find my Autobiography Unit on my teachers pay teachers store.

Hope you're having a fabulous week so far! =)

Non Fiction Writing

HAPPY SPRING BREAK!!! So excited for this much needed week off!!! :) Hope those who are on the same schedule as me enjoys their time off too.

A few weeks ago we finished our non fiction books about animals. I let the kids choose an animal they would like to write about, one that they "know"

a lot about. Now, this is the second year I have done this andthe first year I really put an emphasis on the research behind they books. This year I really wanted them to include different text features that we commonly find in a non fiction book. (table of contents, diagrams, captions, headings, etc) I think they did a great job! The books turned out super cute and the kids were so proud of their work and showed off their books at open house. Here is one of the books, one of my artsy kiddos.
