Prairie Vista First Graders Combine Reading and Creativity!

First graders in Mrs. McTigue’s class at Prairie Vista Elementary brought their favorite storybook characters to life—one pumpkin at a time!

After reading a book, students decorated pumpkins to represent a character from their story, then shared their creations in a fun “book report” presentation with classmates.

After sharing their report, each student had the opportunity to answer three questions from their classmates.

Mrs. McTigue’s class is just one of many participating in this creative literacy project, blending reading comprehension, art, and public speaking in one engaging fall activity.

Way to go, Prairie Vista readers!
