Small Moment Book Celebration
What an amazing turnout for our second grade authors!

| Proud authors and proud parents! |
It all started with an idea!
 |
We drew sketches to show the beginning middle and end.
We then put them in order.
We began our first draft!
We added, and added, and added details such as what we were thinking, what people were saying, motion and movement words, descriptive words, how we felt, beginnings to hook our reader, endings that wrapped up our stories and a catchy title! |

We read and shared our stories with our
peers to get even more ideas! |
