In Cassie’s class they published a book for Thanksgiving. They had first drafts, revisions, a cover, it was laminated, the works. I love her teacher and (more importantly) Cassie adores her. This was such a cute project for her and she learned about what it takes to publish a book and the right way to go about doing it. It was kind of impressive actually.
This is what her book says:
“I’m thankful for Leo because he always makes me happy. I’m thankful for food because I can never starve. I’m thankful for Julie because if I’m sad she licks me and makes me happy. I’m thankful for Mom because she is always making sure I am safe. I’m thankful for Dad because when I need something he comes to me. I’m thankful for water because I do always have something to drink. Have a good Thanksgiving.”
I’m trying to not be offended that the dogs got first billing (and that Jamie didn’t even get a mention, poor kid). *laugh* But you can tell she put a lot of effort and thought into it and it really was sweet. And the whole tone is *so* Cassie, ya know?
Here’s her handiwork (click to see a bigger one, of course!) – the cover, page 1 and page 2
