This is an awesome writing project to get your class lovin' writing! This project gives students the opportunity to reflect on their personality and life, write in any format (paragraph, list, poem, table, song) about 26 school topics for each letter of the alphabet. This project gives students the opportunity to be creative in the topics they choose and the kind of pictures and art they include in their encyclopedia. If technology is available, students will love being able to use Microsoft Word or Google Docs to create their encyclopedias. I've done this project for three years and students always become incredibly engaged after I assign it, which is exactly what we want during our writing instruction! This product includes: 4 pages of student directions (Google Drive version available to edit) 3 page list of topic ideas to get students generating ideas for their encyclopedia (Google Drive version available to edit) 6 sample encyclopedia entries to model what the encyclopedia should look like for your students (Google Drive version available to edit) 1 editable rubric to use to assess the project 26 page sample encyclopedia memoir project called "The Encyclopedia of a New Teacher's Life" This product can easily be adapted for other grade levels and integrated into many subject areas.

I wanted to make some charts for Author's Purpose that would appeal to my first graders. I went with the P.I.E acronym (Persuade, Inform, Entertain) but took it to the next level by actually using Pie as the text examples. I then added some Other Examples so the students would get additional visual examples of the different purposes. I have these up on my Teachers Pay Teachers site for only $2.00! ***UPDATE - I had a few requests to add an additional, optional 4th poster for "Explain". I have now included this in the download too. This is also available in a money saving bundle with my Reader's Tool Box: Click on the picture to see it!

LEARN TO WRITE YOUR NAME It is so exciting when children become curious about how to write their name. I believe teaching them to write their name should be the first word they learn how to spell . It is personal, concrete and helps them realize that putting letters together in writing has me
