In celebration of Mother’s Day, first-grade students in Ann Hagarty’s class at McVey Elementary School created books explaining what makes their mothers special. The students were instructed to make an outline, write a first draft of their essays, and then write a final copy to place in their books. The completed projects were then decorated and a photo of each student was placed on the back cover.
Ms. Hagarty explained that the project utilized strong English language arts components. The students practiced their writing skills in sentence capitalization, spelling, correct grammar usage, organization, creating a title and developing an outline.
