For the past few weeks we have been working on our 'How To.." unit in Writer's Workshop. The kids have been LOVING this unit & really enjoy being 'experts' on a certain topic. They get to decide what makes them an expert & what topic they'd like to teach about. They've written books about How To Feed a Cat, How To Train a Puppy, How To Walk a Dog, How To Do Gymnastics, How To Unpack our Book Bags in the Morning, How To Read a Book, How To Plant a Seed, etc...
Well, I decided that Friday was going to be a DONUT DAY. Luckily, I know how to tie food into any & all educational lessons ;) We made a class book about How To Eat a Yummy Donut. The kids decided that in order to eat a donut you would need these things first: Napkin, Donut, Mouth (teeth included), hands, car (to make your mom drive you to the donut shop). After we wrote our class book we got to test out our writing skills & see if it made sense. The end results were delicious!!
