Maya created her big book of presidents. We compared, contrasted, and examined the most age appropriate details of the lives of Washington and Lincoln. We reviewed her children's books on the two presidents and she wrote and illustrated the book. The skills she practiced many language arts and writing skills: spelling, punctuation, note taking, finding details, and main idea. She presented the book to Ms. Judie and Ms. Dee, practicing her reading, speaking, listening, and comprehension skills as she presented her work and answered questions about it.
