Elementary News! Mrs. Roblin recently presented a fun opportunity to the third graders. After doing some research on the Richland County Humane Society website, the students chose their favorite cat or dog. They then pretended to be their animals and wrote persuasive paragraphs, trying to convince prospective families to adopt them for Christmas. These will be mailed to the Humane Society to be posted by the animal's pens. Here are some samples from Miss Johnson's and Miss Rader's class. Be on the lookout for Mr. Garrett's and Mrs. Terry's samples soon! 🤩
