1st Graders Share Recipes For Their Favorite Thanksgiving Dish
In an annual Thanksgiving tradition, the Times presents first grader recipes for the holiday meal. We thank teachers from Crothersville Kara Lucas and Ashley Spicer for their help with this writing assignment.
We again reached out to first grade teachers at Austin Elementary for their students’ participation but received an email declining to be included as “we do not have as much time to get things done in class right now.”
