Today the first graders celebrated their published how-to books with Roberta's kindergarten class! Our publishing party was so much fun!
In the morning, before we met up with Roberta's class, the first graders made a party mix to share with the kindergarteners. Our party mix was comprised of chex mix cereal, pretzels, pita chips, raisins, and m&ms - so yummy! After the first graders learned "how to" make a party mix, they split up in teams to make the snack.
Later in the afternoon, we split up into two groups. One group went downstairs to Roberta's class, and the other group stayed in our classroom. One group of kindergartners stayed in Roberta's class, and the other group came up to our room! In each classroom, the first graders circulated the room, reading their how-to's and teaching the kindergarten students about topics like soccer, world maps, how to be a good friend, and how to draw a dinosaur! Of course, all the kids enjoyed the special snack, too!
Overall, we really enjoyed our publishing party - it was a great celebration of our hard work during this writing unit! Our how-to books are now hanging in the hallway; make sure you check them out!
