Caswell first-graders write about their favorite toys

The kindergarten and first-grade students of the Caswell school worked very hard last month to write descriptive essays about their favorite toys – even looking up words in the dictionary that they weren’t certain how to spell. Because the students’ efforts are pretty exceptional for such youngsters, their work is featured exactly as it was written as a few spelling errors don’t detract from the overall quality of their pieces.
