"Mrs. Sokolowski, I made book one in a series, " one of my students told me today. Sure enough, she had created a book and declared it the first in the series. There was a blurb on the back, a dedication, a table of contents, and each chapter had a title. Her best friend had inspired her to write the book since she was also creating her own new series.
By the end of the day, two more students announced they too were going to create a new series of books. It was so exciting and they were so happy! Students did an on-demand personal narrative today and at a quick glance, I saw dialogue, sound effects, bold words.... Today my heart is happy.

I love how in certain grades one student gets an idea and suddenly everyone is doing the same thing! How nice that what they have chosen to do is to make books! Teachers are so easy to please!
