“meet the teacher” night, a week before school starts. There are 11 pages like this is me, this might be my loved ones, i love the color. An animal I like is.
In school I would like to read about. I would like to be a ______ once I grow up, i love to eat. I am ____ years old, I am special because.
Your family and kids decorate these pages any way they want and then send them back to school two weeks later. Meanwhile, the kids and I also use watercolor
paints and bling to decorate their covers. I also paint one of their hands while making a handprint on the back cover. Our school name and are written on

for the summer year. These books are looked at a lot more than the other books in our classroom. Just thought I’d share that idea.
