Making Children's Books
My students are so excited! They asked me if they could make children's books to read to the kindergarten and first grade classes. We decided we would focus on "The 7 Habits of Happy Kids" and write a book about each of the seven habits. I have 28 students in my class (including 3 students from the Autism department), so I have seven groups with four students in each group. Each group was assigned one of the seven habits and they are using Kerpoof to create their books. http://www.kerpoof.com/ It will be very interesting to see how their stories turn out, but for now I am pleased they are eager to share their books with the younger students. I will be able to see how well they understand the seven principles in the book, "The 7 Habits of Happy Kids."

What a great way to assess your students' knowledge of character education. I love that you are incorporating your Autistic students in the classroom and instruction--kudos to you!! I would love to hear about the outcome of the books and if your students appeared to understand the various concepts. Please also update your blog on how it goes when they read to their buddies.
ReplyDeleteLindsey, my students are almost done creating their books. They have been doing an outstanding job. I will definitely let you know how it goes when they share them with their buddies. Thanks for showing an interest. :)
