Second graders turn project into event

Lucy Babcock ‘71T and her second graders dove into writing, reading, and learning how to accomplish projects while bringing the experience to life through many hands-on activities. Students read biographies then wrote reports, first drafts through a final copy. Once the final copy was completed, the writers made covers that looked like paper dolls for their papers. On reading day, students dressed like a character from the book report. To culminate the experience, they accepted an invitation by McHenry Elementary Principal David Tucker to visit and read to first and second grade students.
