Sandcastle Book Report

If you are looking for the Homework Log and Fridge Notes for the week of September 4th, scroll to the post below.

This week we are beginning our monthly book reports. Each month’s project will have a theme and we will alternate between non-fiction/informational books and fiction/literature books. 

September’s book report involves making a paper sandcastle about a nonfiction/informational book. This means your child needs to read a book with FACTS and INFORMATION on any TOPIC he/she chooses (penguins, fire trucks, Saturn, Lebron James, etc.). You will NOT be able to complete this book report with a fiction book (books with characters, setting, beginning, middle, end). Please make sure you child also selects a book on his/her independent reading level. 

This project is due Friday, September 29th, so you have all month to work on it! 

Your child will be given the sandcastle, as well as the directions and the 3-2-1 rectangles to write on. You will need to create your own flag for the top using any paper you have and a toothpick/straw.

I’m attaching an electronic copy of the 3-2-1 rectangles, as well as a sample project so you can see the format. Please let me know if you have any questions.
