I have no brother or sister. My favorite subject is Ela and SS. What is your favorite subject, do you want to be friends yes or no. School is doing great, my favorite color are blue gold pink and purple. My favorite animal is lion and tiger.
Dear H,
My weekend was good I went to a jewelry store and tried on a cute puppy ring. On Wednesday I went swimming and ate pizza. We just learned algebra. I like all kinds of cookies. My favorite subject is reading and ELA. I would like to be friends you are very nice. Do you want to be friends? What is your favorite cookie? What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a marine biologist. What did you do on the not snow day? My dog is named Brody, he’s a Boston terrier. I play baseball and i am going to a new school. I have been in JCDSRI for 7 years. How long have you been in your school for?

Dear M,
How’s your day going? I’m excited to learn more about you! Question 1 (forgive me if we already asked last time) what’s your favorite food? 2 What’s your favorite thing to bake? (Now a little bit about me) My favorite food is olives, my favorite thing to bake is cupcakes. My favorite holiday is Purim, (The holiday where we eat those triangle cookies.) I like Purim because it’s so fun and cheerful and we get to dress up, make noise and eat LOTS of sweets!
Sincerely, S
Dear, S
My day is going good, thanks for asking. I’m also excited to learn more about you. The following sentences are the answer to your questions and more questions from me that I would like to know.
My favorite food is chicken tenders. My favorite thing to bake is cookies. I guess I like all the holidays I celebrate. I don’t think I could choose one favorite holiday. I was wondering since you don't enjoy most movies, what’s your favorite T.V. show? Mine is spongebob squarepants. I know your favorite thing to bake is cupcakes, but are they your favorite dessert? I mean, my favorite thing to bake is cookies but my favorite dessert is actually cupcakes. (Sorry, if we already asked this last time) which do you like more indoors or outdoors. I like them both, but I personally like the outdoors more than the indoors. Speaking of the indoors and outdoors, what is your favorite season? mine is spring. It is not burning hot, but not freezing cold.
I enjoyed writing to you. I think i have many more things I want to ask you, but I think I can ask you another time. Please write anything you want to ask me for your letter. I can't wait to see your response to this letter. See you soon!
Sincerely, M :)
Dear M,
Thanks for the letter! Here are some answers to the questions: It turns out there is a movie that I really like it’s called “Inside Out.” And yes cupcakes are my favorite dessert! My favorite cupcakes are vanilla frosting with vanilla cake. What’s your favorite kind of cupcake? Also to answer your question about being outside or inside it depends if it’s flaming then inside the _ house. But if it’s spring then outside. Sorry I didn't get to answer all your questions. Hope to see you soon!
Happy Spring! S

Dear E and R,
I am great. How are you?...From now on we are going to have show and tell on Fridays. Those are going to be fun too. Also I hope you both like the things that I made you out of duct tape. R yours is a bow ring and E yours is a ninja square. You throw it and try to land it somewhere. Some questions: If you had a program that you would like to do what will it be? What would you bring to show and tell? What day would you like to do that show and tell and program?
See you soon,
R :)
Dear R,
We are good! How are you?... Yesterday, we had a snow day, even though it wasn’t snowing! We were super lucky! E didn’t even go outside! A question for you is what did you share/what are you going to share on Friday?
Here’s what we would share for show/tell:
R: I would share my pet lizard. His name is Ozzy, and he is a Bearded Dragon!
E: I would perform my baton twirling act. I like twirling it behind my back, and then flipping it in the air.
We also went to the “Chametz Fest,” which is a big party before Passover where we eat a lot of bread before we can’t eat it for 7 days. We recently finished our class book called The Watsons go to Birmingham. It’s about a boy name Kenny who goes
On a road trip to Alabama, Birmingham. They face a lot of racial violence, and dark times. Here are some questions for you: If you were stuck in a book, what book would it be, and why? What’s your favorite holiday?
Can’t wait to hear back from you,
R & E

Dear H,
Hi it’s A. Over the weekend I played on my xbox one S and one my Ipad. My friend has a farm and a tree fell in his property and my friend and I built a fort in the tree. We made the walls and the roof out of straw, and yes I built the wall and the roof. A couple years ago I went to Disney World. Something you should know about me is I hate roller coasters. I love pizza and meat. I love animals but not ticks, mosquitoes, flies, and fleas. When i’m older I want to be a programmer and work at coast guard.
Sincerely, A
Dear A,
Great job making the fort out of straws. I think that’s really cool and I have never been to Disney world before I have drove by Disney World but I’ve never been to Disney World. How is it like. I like pizza but don’t love it and i like roller coasters but don’t hate roller coasters. I also don’t like ticks, mosquitoes, flies, and fleas well I guess that one thing we have in common. Last but not least when I get older I want to be a chemical engineer, olympic medalist, dancer, singer, songwriter, and the first to find cures for uncured disease. Bye A.
Sincerely, H
Dear H,
In Disney there’s a ton of rides it’s also really fun. I can’t believe you don’t like pizza. So what is your favorite food? I play lacrosse and basketball what’s your favorite sport? What olympic medal do you want? What do you do in the summer? I got ot camp for a month.
Sincerely, A

Dear L,
How was you week? Mine was fine. Well maybe not completely, we and our neighbor lost power due to winter storm Riley. In class we learned multiplying whole numbers and improper fractions. We also learned to divide a fraction(proper or not) by a whole number and vice versa. I read some new books like: Bud Not Buddy, some books from the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and the new Big Nate books.
Sincerely,
Y
Dear Y, 3/15/18
My week was good. How was yours? I’m sorry your town lost power last week. Thank God my town didn’t. I’m wondering how your town is holding up during the blizzard too. Our class also just learned multiplying whole numbers by fractions. Cool, right! I also read a few new books. I just finished [a book] last Friday, and I’m in the middle of a young adult book series. During the snow storm what did you do. Me and my older brother A went to play in the snow. I stepped in the snow and my boots came off! After that I had to change my socks, but then I went back outside to play.
Sincerely, L
P.S. sorry about the blue marker. :)
Dear L,
My week was good. How was yours? In class we finally finished our class novel: The Watsons go to Birmingham-1963. I thought it was uh-mazing! (read it!) Our new one is called Lyddie. It reminds me of how people mispronounce your name, because it looks like Laidee. In math, we are doing algebra. yesterday(21st) was a no-snow-day!
Happy so-called-Spring! -Y
P.S. I am going to California 7 days from now!

The week of 2-26-31 was awesome! As you know we had the Jewish holiday called Purim. It’s the holiday of remembering our survival. My costume was Tinker bell.
