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!

Extra credit English assignment and announcements

Dear Students,
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get this up, but here's an optional English Assignment that you can do for extra credit.

The information you will need to complete and submit your essay is included below.

Details for Extra Credit English Assignment

You will be submitting it via email this time, so you won't need a form to submit it.

The Student of the Month Award For February is coming up soon, so make sure you work extra hard!

And…
I've still only got one entry for the School Newsletter! So Here's the link to submit it again, in case you have trouble finding the old post.

Assignments for levels 3, 4 & 5 will be posted within the next couple of days.
I apologise for the delays.

Don't forget to submit your essay before the 26th of February!

Note: Even if you haven't received a verification email yet, and you have a student enrolled in this subject, she may do it anyway, as there has been a few issues with the form, which should all get sorted out shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Updates!

Dear Students,

For some reason the last newsletter we tried to put together was a flop. I realise that and I'm sorry. This time, I will give you more time to get your entries in. You can do:

Crafts
News
Recipes

Art
Photos
Reviews

Anything you want, really! It can be anywhere from 3 sentences to 3 pages long! Please submit your entires for the newsletter via this form, before the 31st of March 2014. And there is a maximum of three entries per human or doll.

Rules before submitting:

And now for some news! We are starting………………………………………………………………………………………..











A STUDENT OF THE MONTH AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's official! EIDA now has it's own award!

Any student who is enrolled may win one.

They will need to have shown extra good commitment and grades in all of their subjects.

I will pick one student at the end of every month (starting today!) to receive a certificate, a blog award (if desired) and have their outstanding work featured on the blog and in the newsletter.

So, you'd better get cracking if you want to win the February one!

Have fun!

Who does this one belong to??

Dear Students,
A while ago, I looked and saw that I'd got one entry for the Colonial life in America History essay, but someone forgot to put their name on!

If it belongs to one of you, please let me know so that I can grade it for you. It would be a great pity if you didn't let me know if it's yours, because it was a very good essay, and I was rather impressed when I read it.

If this isn't your essay, just ignore this post, but please remember to fill out all the required areas when you submit assignments and homework to avoid having mix-ups and delays.

Thank you!

Important announcement, PLEASE READ!!

Dear Girls,
First of all, I would like to say that I wish you all a very merry Christmas.

Secondly, I will be going away around Christmas time on a holiday with my family, as I'm sure many of you girls will be doing too. Could I please have someone offer to do the comment moderation, and keep an eye on things while I'm away? I believe you'll need a blogger account.

Since, I'm going away, things may be a little slower around here for a while, but we're hoping to get up and running smoothly again sometime early in the New Year.

If you have any assignments you submitted and haven't been graded yet, please let me know so I can get that done before I leave.

If you have anything (homework, assignments etc) that you have not submitted yet, but still want to do, please send it in as soon as possible.

If you have anything you want to put in the School Newsletter, please let Miss Meghan know so that she can organise it before she runs out of room.

That will be all.

Happy Holidays!
