Using the book, Clifford's First School Day, we note Clifford's school experience. Over a three-week time period, we make an individual book entitled, "<student's name> Goes to School" which will depict our school experience. This book will be displayed at the culmination of our unit with a Family Fun Day

OBJECTIVE

Students will:

1. Reread their class-made book entitled, "(student's name) Goes to School."
2. Describe classroom rules and activities that were depicted in the book, track words, and tell whom the author and illustrator is of their own book.
