All Periods - Peep Extra Credit Update

Hey gang -

Some of you may have noticed, and I've mentioned it to some classes, but Peep Extra Credit has been extended until April 14th, which is after spring break. I figured since I'm trying not to give you real HW over break, it'd be better for you to have time to work on this instead of trying to get it all done while finishing up your summary (which is due on the 3rd).

So, let the creative marshmallow juices... uh... flow.... Or something.

I'm looking forward to see what you guys come up with!

~ Ms. Shea
