We are very proud of all of our 4th grade students who each wrote a "Choose Your Own Adventure" book! Students researched an animal and the animal's defense mechanisms and then incorporated their learning into their books! Many students also turned their books into an e-book by recording themselves reading it! Great work, Rockets!
