West Gates Second-Graders Become Authors

Students at the West Gates Avenue Elementary School already have something they can add to their resumes – published authors.

Second-graders in Rosanne Mulholland's class recently wrote and illustrated their own personal narratives for "Publication Celebration Day."

Each student-author sat in a big rocking chair in their classroom and read aloud their book to their classmates.

All of the students received a gold medal to attach to the cover of their books called the "Sensation Second-Grade Scribe Award."

"The students coordinated great books," Mulholland said while the children read their published works.

The class learned about a variety of things from their classmates from a day in the city to a trip to Pennsylvania or the details from their friends' vacations.
