Mrs. Sampsel’s 2nd graders worked hard for many weeks to have their writing about arctic animals published in a book. Students had to research, draw, and write an informational piece to share about their animals with their peers. Students enjoyed seeing the finished product and were happy to celebrate being published authors!
