One of my favorite back-to-school lessons comes from the book the Name Jar, written and illustrated by Yangsook Choi. Be sure to check out this lesson provided to you by EW! 

These are some of my 4th-grade student samples from the lesson. They turned out so good! Such a fun way to get to know your students each fall! Over the years, I have had several teachers share their samples with me. What I love about EW, is that our kids can all be using these great writing tools, but our products can be 100% our own!
