After baking, students will then plot their escape plan (3 template options included). Finally, students will write their plan on the writing template provided (3 lined options).  Christmas Class BooksI absolutely LOVE reading ALL the Christmas stories with my students and these Class Book templates are my FAVORITE way to help build our CLASSROOM COMMUNITY!!!  Class Books are the perfect addition to your classroom library. After reading the selected book, students all fill out the SAME response page. The teacher will collect the pages and tape or glue them into the Target blank books (from Target dollar spot). Add them to a special bin in your library and let your students read them to learn more about their classmates!! This set includes 8 of my favorite Holiday Read Alouds!
