The Union first graders' Young Authors' Night was held at Barnes & Noble.  Each class had a different night, and Miss Steward's got Monday.  The class split into two, and the kids read their books out loud to the families in attendance.  They had been working on these books for weeks; they wrote and illustrated a topic they chose themselves.  Melanie's was about Super Hero Joey, who flies around the world healing cancer.  He then encounters Monster Meanster, who he eventually makes realize he should change his name (Monster Nicester) and help Joey heal sick kids.  Melanie did an AWESOME job reading out loud to a group of people; it was a great event!
