The purpose of this activity is for students to create a number book about their school community. Students share their work with a partner, receive feedback, and then improve their work (MP3). In the Activity Synthesis, students will create a title and front cover for their book. As students work during the activity, have them leave the first page blank. If time allows, invite students to make a rough draft and then a final draft of their book.

• “Ahora que ya hicimos las páginas de nuestro libro, debemos pensar en un título para el libro. Un título puede decir de qué se trata el libro. ¿De qué se tratan sus libros?” // “Now that we’ve made the pages for our book, we should think of a title for the book. A title can tell you what the book is about. What are our books about?” (Our school, numbers, objects, math)
• 1 minute: quiet think time
• Share and record responses.
• “Pueden usar algunas de estas palabras como ayuda para pensar en un título para su libro. Cuando hayan escrito su título, pueden hacer un dibujo para la portada” // “You can use some of these words to help you think of a title for your book. Once you have written your title, you can draw a picture for the front cover.”
• 5 minutes: independent work time

• “¿Qué cosas nuevas aprendieron sobre su escuela con los libros de números?” // “What new things did you learn about our school from the number books?”
