This marks the third year that Taconic Hills Kindergarten students have participated in this exciting opportunity, and this year’s class book, I’m A Rhyme Monster, was published in early May. All students who participated received an honorary certificate and have the satisfaction of seeing themselves as published authors!
Thank you to Ms. Rodriguez, Literacy Teacher, who brought this project to our classrooms, and to our Kindergarten teachers who are always ready and excited to take part in this wonderful opportunity for our students.
