Story Time...

After reading some well known fables, students wrote their own. hHe assignment was to write a story to young children with a moral or lesson from them to take away from it. Today we shared them with students in other classes at DATA. They were a hit!

 

Here is an example of one students first page.....

 

Well done kids!
