Mrs. Trusty's first grade class was working hard today planning their informational paragraphs about animals! They used details in their texts to find descriptive words they can use to describe reef sharks, river otters, chimpanzees, and puffins. Next, they will use these to write their first drafts. Good work, first grade!
