Mrs. Roth’s Kinders have been working hard at being authors and illustrators over the past couple weeks. They created a book titled When I Grow Up. Each student wrote about what they want to be when they grow up and drew and colored an illustration to show that job. Mrs. Roth then sent their manuscript off for their book to be published. They can’t wait to receive their published book in the next few weeks! #LevelUpRailers
