What better way to celebrate the completion of our writing unit than to share them with other students authors? On Wednesday, November 28th, Mrs. Schultz's class invited students from Mrs. Herrington’s 3rd grade classroom and Mr. Sondericker’s 1st grade class to listen as they read aloud their realistic fiction pieces by flashlight. In turn, the students from the visiting rooms were also able to share their personal narratives. Students enjoyed this celebration and were able to take away new ideas for their own writing, as well as get to know other students from the building.
