Students should have a completed rough draft of their Christmas Carol Persuasive Essays as of today.  Over the vacation, they should spend some time revising and editing so that they are ready to turn in a polished final draft on Tuesday, January 5.  

Have a wonderful holiday! 

We have been working away on our Christmas Carol Persuasive Essays.  By tomorrow, all body paragraphs should be completed, as well as the introduction and conclusion outlines.

Today we went on our field trip to A Christmas Carol at the North Shore Music Theater!  It was an amazing show, and we were all very happy with the kids' behavior and rapt attention throughout the performance.  The kids really seemed to enjoy the show - especially Marley's big scene with all of the pyrotechnics.
