These first graders from Mrs. Mellendorf’s class began a narrative writing project around Easter and recently completed the final step by reading their books to the class. They sure enjoyed spending some time becoming an author and an illustrator! If you know any of these students, ask them about their book titled “The Easter Bunny”.
