Kindergarten How To's

We just finished our unit of study on Procedural writing.  I used this first template A Book Of How To's  to have students draw an illustrations for a How To IDEA. You can see some Ideas below.
The longer I teach the simpler I am making my b.boards! 
The child fills in their How To Topic samples below

My class wrote about three/four How To's each. We used the checklist below when we were ready to publish.

I will share How To samples some time next week! One thing that was really tricky for K was starting with transition words. I did not use the paper with the transition words. Many students started with the word THEN. When rereading their stories if they started with too many THEN'S they had to change a couple.
