The books are done and ready to be submitted for publishing. As posted before, the students created the books using Publisher. All pages had two letters except the last two pages which had three. (The publisher lets us have 12 pages of content per book.) We brainstormed measurement words for each letter. Some letters were tough. We finally settled on number line for n and students were tying it to a ruler or thermometer.
We are getting the books published at StudentPublishing.com. We had books published there earlier this year and loved them. The software on the company's website is slow although it created a wonderful book. We have to use the company's site to create the cover page, the title page, the dedication page and author page. We uploaded our PDF file for the other pages. I like this method much better.
The last time I created a chart to keep track of each student's pages as they were reviewed by an adult. It was a long process checking each page of each book for each student and the software was slow. I'm not checking them as closely this time as I told the students THEY should have pride in their work and THEY should make sure everything is the way they want it. (We did do some editing with the Publisher file before converting the file to a PDF.)
The students uploaded the PDF file into their book at the publishing company's website. We should get the books in about 4 weeks.
