Letter to SPC ASHLEY ADAMS

Dear SPC ASHLEY ADAMS,

  How many badges do you have?  How dose it feel to be serving the US?  How dose it feel to be away from your family for so long?  How old where you when you stared serving? How long have you been serving?  Why did go to serve?  do you ever have any free time?  If you do how do you normally spend it?  What inspired you to serve?

                           Sincerely,
                                   Caitie

How our craft lessons are applied

Recently we learned about how authors slow down the pivotal moment or "hot spot" in their story so that the reader can really feel what the character is feeling and savor the turning point of the story.  Caitie did a wonderful job of doing just this when she rewrote a scene in her story using the craft of slowing down the hot spot.

Class Pet Request

November 10,2011

     Dear Mrs.Goins,
    
     I am writing to ask if we can have a class pet.  I feel that a class pet would teach us responsibility.  And teach us about it's life cycle.
     If we get a class pet we can feed so it will stay alive.  If we get a class pet we can also study it's environment.  If we get a class pet we will make better choice's so we can have a turn caring for it.
     I know that sense you have Jack so you can not take the pet home if we were to get a class pet or sense money is tight or somone might be allergic to a  type of a pet.
     But we can  take turns taking the pet home and we can do a fun raser.  We can try to find a pet that none of us are allergic to.
     Imagine walking into a class room where responsble third grage kids happly nurture a class pet.
Senserly
      Caitie
