Students in Ms. Taxin, Mrs. Stebner, and Mrs. Keen's fourth-grade class at JFK ended their Writing Units with a writing celebration. Parents were invited into the classroom's "Starbooks Cafe," where students shared their collection of published writing from throughout the whole year. Each student had a chance to share a snippet of their favorite writing piece aloud to the entire class and special guests. #DiscoverGreatness (fb)
