'Charlotte's Web' by E.B. White has come to life in Mrs. Nelson’s first grade classroom! Students recently finished reading the beloved story and celebrated by creating incredible paper mache characters from the book, including Charlotte the spider and Wilbur the pig.

The creativity, hard work, and attention to detail shown by these first-grade students is truly amazing. Each character is unique and highlighted the students’ imagination and artistic talents.

Way to go, first grade! Your projects are outstanding, and you should all be super proud of your hard work!
