Dear Mrs Dela Cruz,
For the "All about me Writing Project". Is it okay if we put our mother/father's first and last name too?

Best Regards,
Ivy Huang

Dear ?
For the hobbies, use descriptive details to describe them. You can focus on 1-2 main hobbies. For example, if you like to play a certain sport, explain why you like the sport. What team or league you play on. How many years you have been playing. What position you play.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Hi Chika!
The leads will be 2 different ways you will be introducing your story. The titles can differ but you should share something about yourself.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Hi Ivy!
You can include your parents names if you want to. The main focus is to share a little bit about them. For example, where do they work? What do they do for a living? Describe their interests, tell us about their personality, etc.
For example, my father enjoys golfing. You can often find him on a golf course at least 3x a week. He also has a great sense of humor. He loves to make people laugh.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Hi Tawnie!
You are writing 2 different leads for the introduction. Tomorrow, you will be sharing it with a peer. He or she will give you feedback on which lead is more effective.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Mrs. Dela Cruz said...

Hi Crystal!
For the journal, you can write me a paragraph on which study place you selected and the reasons why. You can also write another paragraph on why the other 2 study places were not as effective.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Mrs. Dela Cruz said...

Hi Chase!
For the conclusion, write your ideas on how you will end the story. For example, remember the story I shared called "Stuck in the Middle?" At the end of the story, the student shared that being in the middle is not a bad place to be.
Tomorrow, you will begin writing your story. I will share more examples with the class on how to relate the lead to your conclusion.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

dearmrs.delacruz,
what is a vocabulary exam/


from ,waileia

Mrs. Dela Cruz said...

Hi Waileia!
The Wordly Wise vocabulary exam is similar to the one you took in fourth grade. It is a multiple choice exam. You need to know the meaning of the words.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz
