Ask you child what it means to be PERSUASIVE.....


Today we celebrated the completion of our PERSUASIVE LETTER Writing Unit with an
OREO PARTY.  We enjoyed listening to each other read our Persuasive Letters while eating yummy cookies and ice cream!
Come look at our classes PERSUASIVE LETTERS on the bulletin board at the bottom of the stairs.
We wrote to the President of the United States, Mrs. Warnick and Mom trying to persuade them to do things like:
* Make all toys FREE
* Let us chew gum in school
* Put in a swimming pool in the playground
* Build all things out of Legos
* Hire a maid
AND SO MUCH MORE!
A big THANK YOU to Mrs. Watabe for helping us make our Oreo Party a success!
