The Henning School is excited to share that Mrs. Jorgenson, one of our 2nd grade teachers, has written and published two children's books. She is currently working on writing a third book with the students in her classroom. The students are learning about the writing process and how to create and solve problems in literature. We can't wait to see what they come up with!
