The child development classes just had the task of caring for a robot baby. Many students had sleepless nights of crying children. After the students took care of it, they had to write and illustrate a children’s book.
The students had full creative freedom on these books.
“My topic is a pair of sunglasses that take you anywhere you want at any time. I chose this topic because I’ve always wanted to travel and explore the world,” eighth grader Emma Morgan said.
After their books were made, they had the choice to give it away or keep it. Some chose to give a family member the books for Christmas. For example, some gave them to little cousins, nieces and nephews or their younger siblings.
“I am support proud of my students and the hard work they put into this project. They’re really excited to see the looks on the kids’ faces whenever they give them the books. I am thankful for this opportunity given to my class through the districts’ venture grant,” eighth grade child development teacher Kristina Rose said.

I did see some of my classmates making these books during free time in class. It seems like a cool project. At lunch one of my classmates was reading her book to some of the boys, and then they took the book and ruined it by smudging fruit juice on it! 🙁
