I've done this in my first grade class with several different themed bags and the children love it! I have themed bags for student birthdays, Halloween, Eric Carle, Biscuit, Dr. Seuss, Clifford, and Robert Munsch. Most bags include a stuffed animal and five books by that author or on that theme. I also have worksheets, journals, or writing prompts to go with each bag. The children have the option of selecting a bag instead of their regular homework.

Your sample letter suggests you did this with Kindergarten children. Have you ever tried it with Grade One or Two?
