Involve children in organizing the photographs, mounting them onto oak tag and writing about the signs. Children can also include the drawings and dictations that they created following their walk. Make photocopies of the book to include in the writing area, block area, and class library. Invite small groups of children to the block area, asking them to use the blocks and props to make their neighborhood. Provide children with paper, drawing materials, rubber stamps, and tape and ask children to use the art and writing materials to make signs for their block neighborhood.
Children can describe their finished work to their classmates.
Take photographs of each group's block building to create another class book or display to document their learning experiences with environmental print. Scholastic Inc. All rights reserved. Read our Privacy Policy Statement .
