Persuasive Writing

Our students did an awesome job this past week discussing the word persuasion.  As a class, we chose a topic that was near and dear to our hearts....recess!!  Students decided they needed to convince Mr. Parrott that an extra recess in our school day would be beneficial to them.  Each class, together, wrote a very convincing letter to Mr. Parrott, and he agreed to give each first grade one extra recess for one day.  This was definitely a highlight to the friends of 1A and 1B!  We hope you enjoy their convincing letters!

Dear Mr. Parrott,

    We would like an extra recess.  We will get more exercise in the day.  It will give us energy to get stronger and smarter.  The exercise will keep us healthy at school and the sun will give us vitamins.  Our playtime helps us be nice to each other!  Thank you!

                                                                                                        Love,

                                                                                                        1A Friends

Dear Mr. Parrott,

     Could we please have an extra recess?  An extra recess would give us exercise and make us healthier.  This week is sunny, so we would like an extra recess before winter.  Thank you for reading our letter.

                                                                                                       Love,
