✏️📚 It’s Revision Day! 📚✏️

Mrs. Becker’s 4th graders teamed up with the Freshman English class for some peer editing! 📝✨

Our students worked together to read, review, and revise the 4th graders’ personal narratives. What a great way to share ideas, learn from one another, and make those stories shine! 🌟

We love seeing our Hawks learning together across grade levels! 🧡🖤
