Students in Mrs. Mellendorf's first grade classroom have been learning how to create a very detailed sentence. They discussed how some sentences can be boring or "BLAH" and how some sentences have great detail so they are considered to be a "WOW" sentence. They are working hard to become wonderful writers this year!
More Apple Orchard Fun!

Mrs. Chesnut and the students will decide together how they wish to spend the money earned.
