The Best Part of Me


Hi Friends!
Have you read this book?  If not, I highly recommend it.
It's called The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald. 
 
 
The book has black and white photographs of the parts that children chose as their best part and handwritten essays about them.  The book inspired me to do something similar with my class. 
 
Here are a couple of my students' completed essays and our hallways display:

All About Me

Hi Friends!
Do your students like to know about your life outside the classroom?  Mine sure do!  
They love to hear stories about my life with my family and pets.
They are always surprised to learn that I am married and have two kids and three dogs.
They want to know everything about each and every one of them.
I do share pictures and information about my life.  I find that my students get to know me
not just as a teacher, but as a "real" person. 
At the beginning of the school year, I read a book I created to my class called
 All About Mrs. Anderson
Inside it is all kinds of information about me from early childhood to adulthood.
On the last page of the book, I tell them that I want to learn all about them this year.
After reading it, I place it in the classroom library.
Here are a few pages from my All About Mrs. Anderson book.
