Publishing our realistic fiction series!


We are compiling our series books into a collection like this:

  

First we had to decide on the order of our books.  
Then we created an opening table of contents and title pages for each book.




Then we had to do some editing work!  


After our mini lesson and some whole class practice, partners got to work adding punctuation to their books.









Of course, illustrations are an important part of books.  We studied the illustrations in these two books to help us make ours stronger.






We also had a Capitalization Party and went through our books making those edits as well.

We are ready to create our covers and about the author pages next week.


We have been lucky to have a sixth grader lend a helping hand every Friday so we wrote her a letter to let her know how grateful we are.



My how we have grown!  Check out these amazing self portraits!










We have also decorated picture frames-they came out beautiful!
