See you next year!

How We Made This Book We started out by reading the book “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown. Most of us had heard this book, because our parents had read it to us! Categories First we made a list of places at school. Brainstorming Next, we visualized the places, and named things in each place. Planning Then, we chose the places we wanted to take pictures.

Learning Photography Organizing Next, we learned how to take pictures with a digital camera. Photography Then we made a map, and went to take our pictures! We had to ask people if we could take their picture. Organizing Finally, we made labels to match our pictures. Our teacher put the pictures into the slide show. And that is how we made this book!
