ELA Publishing Books to Showcase Their Best

Help me give my students a fun canvas to write in and be creative!

My Project

My students enjoy showcasing their work in Spanish Immersion ELA. These blank books would provide them with a canvas to be creative in as they write and draw. With several units compiling their best work in the end-unit as a "book", journals to publish their best writing would add fun! These would also provide excellent keepsakes for the families for years to come.

In addition to journals for students to complete ELA writing projects in, our room could use a few more high interest books from the "Who Was/What Was" series.

We were gifted some of these titles by Donors Choose, and they have been a huge hit in our room! My third graders cannot put the books down, and as an ELA teacher, that is a wonderful thing to see!
