The definition of PRIDE is "a feeling of satisfaction or plesure derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those whith whom one is closely associated , or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired." After completing the first trimester, filling out your report cards, and meeting with many of your parents yesterday, I must say that I am filled with pride. This trimester has truly been a team effort among teachers, administration, parents, and you the students. I am proud to be a part of such a successful group! Fifty-five percent of the class earned a place on the Honor Roll. Many other students came soooo close. Other students might not have had the grades to get on the Honor Roll, but they worked their very hardest, and I am just as proud of them as well. Your task today is to write a well written paragraph (6-9 sentences with a strong topic sentence) about a group of which you have been proud to have been a part. It can be this class, a sports team, a dance class, or any other group to which you belong. You must post by 9:00am so that I may take attendance for the day.

As the Christmas holiday quickly approaches, we are bombarded with commercials of things to "buy" for one another as gifts. Right now, take a few moments to think of ways that you can give to others without spending any money. Write ONE COMPLETE paragraph explaining what you can do. (Use your heart...not your wallet!!!) Remember to post by 10:00am for attendance.

Remember...Be sure to think before you write. Use proper grammar including sentence structure, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Always go back and reread what you have written before you submit your writing. Archives
