Today the last few students took home their Publishing Center Bags! As stated earlier on the blog, the bag contains a Barebook, About  the Author page with dedication page on the back of it, the story, and  directions.  There are a few students that just finished their stories and they did not have time to edit and revise with me, so you will need to edit and revise with your child before typing.

1.Please return the bag on Tuesday, April 12.  The barebooks should have the following items typed and pasted in it:  Title page, Dedication Page, Story, About the Author Page.

2.In addition, there needs to be another copy of the story in the bag.  That copy will be submitted for the Brainstormer story.  Also return their handwritten draft.

3.  Finally, please send in a box of colored pencils in the bag for your student to use on the cover and to do the illustrations.

4.  The Publishing Center Books will be on display in the media center on Friday, April 15.

Thanks for your support!  ENJOY the awesome stories and have fun typing!

P.S.  The science fair project should be started soon if it hasn’t been started.    Don’t forget to have your child do observations every 2-4 days or so.  Each observation should include a sentence about the water and nail.  Have your child be descriptive and write neatly.
