Last week before break!

Thank you to all of you who supported Colonial Day! I was really impressed with all of the great projects our kids created! Other students and teacher enjoyed this day and gave our talented kids lots of complements and kudos! Excellent work Room 13! A special thank you to Misuk for making calls and to Karen and Javier for helping to serve!

We will be finishing up our colonial studies this week with group presentations on each of the colonial regions. Be sure to check in with your child about their presentation. We have spend hours in class working on this! I am excited to see the final result!

I hope that you will have a wonderful winter break with your families and that the new year will be bring you great happiness!

A little more info for the mini-writing project this week....

We will be starting this in class on Monday 12/20


Winter Wishes Essay


Please write a 5 paragraph essay about 3 wishes you have. At least one of these wishes has to be non-selfish.

Remember you need:

1. An Introduction Paragraph

Your introduction should include some background information about what you will be discussing in your essay. You could share information about wishes, why people make wishes or maybe something related to your wishes. You introduction also needs a topic statement that clearly states what your essay will be about.

2. Three Body Paragraphs (one for each wish)

Each paragraph should describe what your wish is in great detail? Why did you choose that wish? What would be the results of it coming true? Why is it important/how would it make a difference or help people?

3. A Conclusion

This is the ending for your essay. You do not need to restate your wishes. Instead, this is a chance to give some final thoughts about your specific wishes or wishes in general. This is your chance to leave a lasting impression. It should be thoughtful, reflective and interesting.

We will be working on the rough draft in class on Monday.

We will edit and begin the final copy in class on Tuesday.

Rough Draft is due Tuesday 12/21

Final Copy is due Wednesday 12/22
