Third graders wrote some convincing persuasive paragraphs about what their teacher should be for Halloween! Some of Mrs. Montileone's high school students chose their favorite paragraph, belonging to Hadley Heinz. She chose for Mrs. Atkinson to dress as Dr. Pepper as did a large percentage of the class because it's her favorite drink and she drinks it everyday! There were some other great ideas as well you can check out and choose your favorite!
