Student made books for your classroom

Earth Book - Your students will enjoy making this book and taking it home to share with their families. It will work best if you make one or two pages each day and then assemble your book on Friday. You will need to cut 8” squares of the following colors: 2 orange, 1 green, 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 brown, 1 purple.

You can vary this book by making one for Thanksgiving called "My Thankful Book." You could also make a patriotic book called "I Love My Country."
