Our new site is open!

Hi there!
Our new site is finally open. Here's a link Miss Adeline's School For Dolls. Please go and check it out. Thank you for your patience in waiting for it to open. From now on, this site is closed and will only be available as a resource, except for teachers posting all of the grades that they haven't got round to posting yet. Then this site will be no longer active.
Thank you to everyone who made EIDA possible, both teachers, students and readers. We hope you have enjoyed your time here and will click over and join us at our new school.
It is not restricted to particular dolls, but most of the worksheets etc. will be scaled for the 18-inch type.
Students from this site will be gradually transferred over to the new one in the next week or so. From then on, if they aren't active members of the school (not submitting or completing work) for three months after being transferred or enrolled, their account for MASFD will be deleted. However, they may re-enroll afterwards if they so desire.
Comment below if you have any questions!

Grades for the Extra Credit English Assignment

Hi there!
I'm sure you girls have all been eagerly awaiting your grades for this assignment, so here we go!
I only got two back, but that's okay.
It was just a fun one for extra credit anyway, so no one actually had to do it.
I will grade Samantha's first:

Name: Samantha Parkington

My favorite Winter Olympic sport is ice skating. I like it because the skaters look very graceful. Thier costumes are very pretty. I like the ice dancing part, it looks very pretty and I love the way they dance on ice like they have been skating before they learned to walk! The figure skating is nice because they look like they are doing ballet. I love the flips and spins that they do, especially the one where the man throws the lady in the air and she spins around, and then the man catches her - all while they are skating on that slippery ice! A very big and beautiful feat.

The basics of why I like figure skating are: They look pretty, they look very at home on the ice, their costumes are beautiful, and lastly, they perform amazing feats that are a lot of fun to watch!

Samantha Parkington

Samantha, you essay flows very nicely, and you have also included some good points on why you like that sport. Your grade is:

A+!

Well done, Samantha!

Next up is Melody's one:

My Favourite Olympic Sport
By Melody

Today, I have been asked to write about my favourite Olympic Sport. I have chosen to write about figure-skating.

Figure skating is my favourite sport because I love how graceful the skaters look on the ice. All of those perfect twists, turns, jumps and glides just make me gasp in amazement at all of the effort that must go into it.

I especially like all the amazing costumes that skaters wear. Floaty skirts, shiny fabric, beads, sequins--bliss!

And that is why figure skating is my favourite Olympic Sport.

Melody

Melody, your essay was great as well, but it didn't flow into the ending as nicely as Samantha's did, therefore your grade is:

B+!

Good job, Melody.

I was happy to see that I had at least two essays turned in and how much work was put into them. Wonderful job, girls!

Note:
For anyone who was wondering about the school newsletter still not being out, we don't have enough entries yet, so please get writing!
