On Friday, May 29, the first-grade classes at Luther C. Klager Elementary School were proud to present their published books they wrote this school year to their families, as well as special guest, Manchester District Library Youth Librarian, Abby LeBovitz.  Starting in February, each first-grade class selected a topic of interest to research for their class book.  Mrs. Finnegan’s class researched bunnies for their class book, All About Bunnies, and even had a day to observe a bunny in their classroom.  Mrs. Poulin’s class researched books to learn all they could about their special book, Cheetah’s.  Miss Yekulis’ class chose to learn more about the galaxy around them. After completing exploratory centers, each child became an expert to write a page about a different topic for their book, The Galaxy.  Ms. Abby was honored to accept these books that are now proudly on display by the front desk in the library, with all the other Klager student published books.  Be sure to check out these latest additions to the library during your next visit!
