If I Built a Car

Chris Van Dusen, a Maine author, is going to be visiting our school.  We're so LUCKY!

Today we read If I Built a Car.  We brainstormed a list of things kids would want if they could build their VERY own car.  They filled in the worksheet, listing what they'd want and then they wrote about it.







This is the worksheet I created.

      I think the Maine teacher bloggers need to get together. How about this summer?

    Cute idea. I saw this book at our last book fair and I almost bought it. Now I wish I had!
