Poster and Pumpkin Book Report

Dear Parents,

  For this trimester’s book report I have something very fun and festive planned for our second graders!  Each student will be creating a book report poster telling all about a narrative book of their choice, then they will use a pumpkin to create the main character of the book. 

  For the poster, written responses must be in complete, thoughtful, neat sentences.  Illustrations and other details should also represent best effort work.  Feel free to add details that will bring the project to life!

  As for the pumpkin ... it is time for our second graders’ creativity to shine!  The only criteria is that the main character of their book must be clearly depicted.  I have shown the kiddos some examples online and they are oh so excited to make their own projects!  I added the link on our blog that shows some fantastic examples for reference.

  Projects are due Monday, October 27, 2014.  This gives one week to find a book, one week to read it closely, and one week to work on the project.  Homework will be light during the last week so everyone has enough time to work.

Thank you for partnering with me in this fun creative project! 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.

                        Happy Reading,

                          Mrs. Lara
