Mrs. Stevenson and her 1st
grade class worked with Ms. Sullivan, the computer teacher and with
Ms. Conway, the library teacher. The 1st grade children listened
attentively to Ms. Sullivan reading the story Hang On, Hopper!
by Marcus Pfister. Each student had an opportunity to add a sentence
to the ending of the story. They also selected an animal or an item
to add to the illustrations.
