Jackie Ashley’s second-grade students recently wrote about the Mississippi River.

Slade Foil wrote about the variety of nature around the river.

“The Mississippi River has lots to discover, like water snakes, frogs, alligators and black runners. Some of the trees include Magnolias and there are many birds, like the red wing black bird. One of the many wildlife animals found by the river are beavers. The Mississippi River is one of the world’s greatest commercial waterways. The Mississippi River connects to the Red River, Arkansas River, Ohio River, Missouri River and then circles around in Minnesota. When it goes south it heads to the ocean,” she wrote.
