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!

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!

Change of Plans
