We read a non fiction text telling us about the creation and meaning of the Statue of Liberty.
Above read our summary of the non fiction text.

We know that the Statue of Liberty stands for Freedom and Friendship. We love America!!

We worked through the writing process to Pre plan, draft, revise, edit and publish our narrative short stories.

We created bad characters.

We created the main character who tells the story.


We practice drafts of sentences about our good and bad characters before writing the stories.




Maybe one day we will grow up to be authors.
