I have a secret to tell you... I love class books. I have never seen my little ones SO engaged in the library as when they are reading books that they created. But the secret is, friends, that I have been BAD at keeping up with making them. Naughty, naughty teacher! It seems like I get so caught up in all of the eleventy billion other things I need to do that making class books kind of taper off by about October. Whoops! I made a new pinterest board to inspire me this year... with so many adorable ideas, how could I not actually make them?!?
Here are a few of my favorites
Alphabet Photo book... ADORABLE! And perfect for those kinesthetic learners
A My Name is Alice
Getting to Know Your Teacher... LOVE this one, and *bonus* you can use it year after year!
I've Got the Whole Alphabet in my Mouth... Goes with one of my very favorite Dr. Jean songs :)
And here are a few that I actually DID last year
Kitten's First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes... LOVE this book!
Love this counting book... it goes with Count! by Denise Fleming
And last but not least Brown Bear, Brown Bear. Sorry for the lack of picture, but it's a freebie so check it out {HERE}
