Sister Margaret Norris featured in Greenfield Daily Reporter
“She was excited to share this method of teaching language arts with her fellow teachers,” Bohnert wrote. “She immersed her first grade students in this whole language reading and writing program encouraging many lifelong readers. My daughter was in her class in 1992, and her children still read some of the books Molly and her classmates wrote.”
