Max and Ruby Project

This project intends to evoke creativity through writing, mathematics, and presentation.

For Miss Kate's Second Grade Classroom

 

During the next three weeks, you will learn about Max and Ruby, two mischievous bunny siblings who undertake a variety of adventures. You will see a video of the book, Bunny Cakes, by Rosemary Wells. After following the links below, you will write your own Max and Ruby story. I will proofread your story and then you will type up a final draft. You will illustrate your own story and then present it to the class! I will video-tape your presentation and air it on the class website, so your parents and siblings can enjoy your creative work! Don't forget to complete the math problems and the quiz!  And remember, have fun!
