The students in Ms. B’s class have been busy putting the finishing touches on their miniature storefront displays! A big thank you to Mrs. Wright and everyone who donated shoeboxes to help make this project possible. Several displays are already complete, and the rest are almost ready to showcase. The students have had a great time recreating their favorite stores in miniature form!
