CHATTANOOGA, TN (WDEF) - Writing a book takes a lot of hard work.
But 3rd graders at Westview Elementary School have reason to celebrate all that they have accomplished.
They've spent about 2 months creating their own works of non-fiction.
The students gathered facts, researched topics and illustrated their own books.
Lisa Burger of Westview Elementary says this project has given students a reason to want to write.
Because they are creating their own books, Burger says the kids get excited and involved in their work.
She also believes this project will help them become better writers in the future.
