Happy first day of spring ! Following Simone Liebman's (Eli's mother)wonderful presentation on the First Amendment earlier in the week, today we had Louise Kennedy (Christian Corrigan's mother), a writer for the Boston Globe, talk to us about persuasive writing. Among other things, Louise told us about ways writers work, the difference between news and opinion and some of the elements of a good editorial. Thanks so much to these generous parents for sharing their time and expertise with us.
HOMEWORK ~ MAR20th
SPELLING: test on your words
