The Best Part of Me!

Second grade has been dedicated to working on writing. Using the mentor text The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald; students wrote about the part of themselves that they are most proud of. Students wrote through all the stages of the writing process and incorporated their own illustrations accompanied by an individual picture of the best part of them. The publishing company Student Treasures, helped to bind and publish the class books for students to share this memory of second grade with their families. Second grade classrooms had publishing parties to celebrate their work and share their success.
