“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” —Dr. Seuss
First Graders in Mrs. Seibert's class and Miss Pauling's class researched several jobs and chose their favorite to write about. They took notes and wrote several drafts before finishing their final copy for the book. The students encouraged each other and worked as a team to complete this special project. They held an Class Author Night to share their books with their families. Click on the link and enjoy the pictures.
