Bataan Memorial First Graders Cast a Big Catch: Class Publishes Fun, Learning-Packed Book!

Grant Gallagher's 1st grade class at Bataan Memorial Primary published a collaborative children's book this year titled "Mr. G and his Class Go Fishing."

During the yearlong project, each student helped design, write and illustrate a page. Turning a simple idea into a finished story full of color and imagination. The project gave students hands-on experience with storytelling, sight words and basic punctuation while they worked together to create something they could be proud of. Beyond new words, the book shows punctuation - periods, question marks and exclamation points - used correctly in context. He also noted that the project introduced fresh vocabulary and basic concepts in a fun, accessible way.

Gallagher is seeking funding for next school year so every student can take home a copy of next year's book. To help bring the books home please contact the Board of Education at 419-732-2102 or email Gallagher at [email protected]
