Story Time

The classes read the short stories they have been working on. The assignment was given out the Tuesday before the break and they had over three weeks to work on it. The final good copies came in today (from most students) and we had a reading circle, complete with hot chocolate (yay!). They were varied and exciting to listen to. Many students went beyond the 3 page minimum requirement and did an excellent job. Pictures will follow.
