Yummy books!

Our first grade students finished off the school year presenting an *edible book report.* They LOVED working on this! Each student read a book of their choice and then thought of a food item that reminded them of their book. They brought the food to share with their classmates. We had such a great variety of books AND edibles! Everything from The Hobbit (tea and cakes) to the Happy Birthday Book by Dr. Seuss (birthday cake) to Popcorn by Frank Asch (you guessed it..popcorn!) Our team all did this activity differently: Suzanne had all of her students present their reports/food items on the last day of school, making it a fun last day of school project! Others of us divided the assignment up so that 4-5 students per day would present their food items. (I had the friends who brought a "healthy" snack present before lunch...the friends with lots of sweets presented towards the end of the day.) So, you can see that you can work it any way you'd like. I have included a link here for our example sheet, including a parent letter. This is NOT a pdf, so that you can make changes as needed. Happy reading! :)
