2nd Grade Author’s Tea Party Many people aspire to write a book in their lifetime. The second grade students at Clarendon School had the opportunity to get a head start in achieving this dream by writing a class book about what makes each of them unique. Each second grader became a published author and illustrator throughout the 2017-2018 school year. All classes were engaged in every step of the writing process to accomplish their goal. This included sending their work out to a publishing company to have it published into a hardcover book. The books are now currently placed on the shelves of their classroom libraries. To celebrate their students’ success, Ms. Herrmann, Mrs. Amato-Lewis and Mrs. Mongiello held book release tea parties in their classrooms on Tuesday, May 15th. During this time, friends and family were welcomed to come in to meet the young authors and commend them for this wonderful accomplishment.
