📚✨ Tripp's Third Graders Are Published Authors! ✨📚 For the past 2.5 months, our third-grade students at Tripp have been hard at work planning, drafting, and publishing their very own expert topic books! 📝📖 These books showcase: 🔹 Expert vocabulary 🔹 Engaging text features 🔹 Multiple text structures 🔹 Tons of creativity! Our English Learners created their first book in English, and our students with special needs used assistive technology to bring their knowledge to life. Some students wrote four chapters, while others went above and beyond with nine or more! 🎉 They supported each other by giving peer feedback, and the final results were nothing short of amazing! We are so proud of their hard work and dedication. 💙
