Ms. McPherson's third grade students at Cedar Springs Elementary are doing a sweet writing activity today called "7up and M&Ms." Students were given a small amount of M&Ms., and were asked to write sentences with seven words or more. For each seven word sentence they write, they get to eat one M&M. The students loved the activity, getting to practice their writing skills, and especially the M&Ms!
