A Persuasive Letter
Madeline's class had to write a persuasive letter to their parents using backup and reasons with an intro and conclusion. Most of the kids were working on a later bedtime or more allowance, but this is what we received:

Dear Mom and Dad,
I wish I could have more reading time. One reason is it keeps me Quiet. Another reason is I can learn new things. Please can I have more reading time?
One reason is it keeps me Quiet. When I silent read, I am very quiet. I don't make a disturbing noises. Now you see how I'm quiet when I read.
Another reson is I can learn new things. I can learn all about bugs. I also learn about different cities. That's how I learn from books.
Therefore, you see, more reading time would be verey keep me Quiet and make me smarter. Please can I have moe reading time?
Love Maddie

Oh, and Maddie, good letter. You wrote clearly and made very reasoned and thoughtful arguments with strong supporting points. A+
Thankfully, the Provo school system has designated today as a Teacher Quality Day, so after an entire week of being stuck at home with sick kids, I am left with all three kids today. It is reasonable outside, so the kids have jumped on the trampoline.
