We are headed towards the home stretch with our stories. The next week and a half will be about revising and editing and then polishing up before publishing our stories (well, sort of publishing).
My October Blog “Me, the Introvert?” is available here.
Science- Mrs. Creath

Students presented their Geography Summative Projects this week. If you have not yet seen it, please ask your student to share with you.
