Complete with illustrations and fact-based, informative writing, Park Avenue Elementary School first graders crafted and published their own books on animals.

Throughout the project, the students gained valuable research skills as they worked in groups to explore animals of their choosing – from frogs to snakes, bats, wolves, big cats and elephants. They also delved deep into the writing process and built upon their reading and writing skills. The first graders created their treasured keepsakes and published them through the Studentreasures’ student publishing program.

“The students created a class book featuring original writing pieces and illustrations of each student in the class,” Principal Rosa Taylor said. “Our focus was on scientific drawings with labels and fact-based, informative writing. The students were so proud to see their work published in a real book, and families were able to order copies as well.”
