Write a 3-paragraph Christmas letter to a loved one. Make sure you use proper letter format as described in class.

3) Next FOUR stanzas of Twas the Night Before Christmas (12 stanzas - total)  <-------12 stanzas by December 9, 2020

4) Vocabulary up to #70!  Review the words I told you would be on the test. I hope you took notes.  :-)

5) On-going Casey at the Bat Challenge  BE READY
    so far, I have challenged: Kaydance, Jacob, Sammy, Gianna, Shiloh, John. Who will be next?

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.
