Second graders in Mrs. Higgins' class are writing essays on Martin Luther King, Jr. One of the students came up to read his work to me.
After the essay was read, and the student and I conversed about his writing, the student said that all the information came from him reading and listening about Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. He said this writing wasn't his best work, but that he was proud of it all the same!
I can say for sure that this principal was very proud to see such a well crafted writing produced by a second grader. Way to go!
