The Relatives Came: Set/Teachers Guide

Rating:
Summary: Fun.....Creative & Inspiring
Review: I am an elementary school teacher.
Today I read the book titled The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant, to my class of 2nd graders.
All I can say is..... "What an awesome experience!"
My students enjoyed the book so much!! I had to read and reread it over and over again. My students then decided they wanted to write their own personal stories about memorable family gatherings. They began brainstorming and now are each writing their very own "Relatives" stories.
What an impact and inspiration this great little story was for my class of 7 year olds.....tomorrows future authors.
