Dear Mrs.Dela Cruz,
For the revising of the all about me do we revise and write everything?

Hi Raymond!
For the All About Me, read over my comments. Work on revising (adding more details or deleting unimportant information) and then write the corrected paragraphs on folder paper.
Once you have finished the revisions, you can begin typing it out in final form.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz :)

Dear Mrs Dela Cruz,
Since we never went to library for 2 weeks, are we going tommorow?

Best Regards,

Hi Chase!
If you have a biography book, then you can begin reading it today. If not, we will be going to the library tomorrow morning.
The final typed All About Me is due next week Tuesday. I would like you to begin working on it tonight so you can begin typing it early this week. Later this week, you will have a Wordly Wise and Reading exam on Thursday. Also, next week, the Explorer Power point will be due.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Hi Ivy!
We will be going to the library tomorrow. Mrs. Aoki was absent on Friday so we had to reschedule our library time.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz
