Getting My Feet Wet

Well, I've made the plung and my Kindergarten class has started to create their own ideas on sequels to the Curious George books we have been enjoying. Just getting them thinking as writers was my goal and we have many exciting ideas developing. We decided as a class to have George at a Carnival. We are making Half books with lines at the bottom and space to draw at the top and folding them in half with a title on the outside; because authors are sometimes the illustrator of their book. Next step I will let each student decide and write on what will happen to George at the Carnival when he gets curious. We hope to have each student read their version of what happens to George.
