Our Broncos, Our Moments, Our Story
Mrs. Vander Kooi's first graders are mastering personal narratives! We're focusing on putting events in order (sequence) and using a powerful writer's strategy: Think → Share → Write. This process helps them organize their thoughts before they even pick up a pencil. Great work, writers!
