This week marked our Young Author's Night for all grades at Alanton Elementary. My students have been working so hard on their bare books, which are books with no writing and no pictures in them. For the front cover, they drew their faces and wrote "First Grade Memories!" Inside, they wrote what school they went to, what city they lived in, what their favorite thing about school is, what their favorite first grade memory is, and much more. One of the girls in my class wrote about Mrs. Anderson and she drew her almost exactly to scale. She even drew her with grey hair! She also drew Mrs. Anderson's dog rusty and made sure that he was extra fluffy!
Seeing the finished product of these bare books that all of the students have been working so diligently on, definitely made me appreciate all the hard work that goes into teaching. The stress of trying to finish all of the bare books on time by Thursday was tremendous! I definitely see what it takes to be a great teacher and I am up for the challenge!!
