The Best Parts of Us... A Writing Project

This was one of the first writing projects of the year.  We read together the book The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald and I thought it would be fun to do the same kind of thing she does with her  students in our class.  I had each of the kids pick the part of their body that they were most proud of.  Thinking about these questions... does that part resemble another family member or friend?  Does it help you with sports or in school?  Then they wrote a reflection about that part that they chose and drew an illustration of it.  It was interesting to hear all their thoughts and reasons for choosing what they did :)  Here are a few of them.  Enjoy!
