Paris is a wonderfuf place to live it has sky-scraper sights there! It also has a whole lot of neat things to do there. Did you know 's tempature is 15-20 degrees cooler than ours.

Hello, Lucy! Today during a meeting with Ms. Davis I asked her to show me samples of what students could do with technology. She showed me NewsQuest from J.H.House Elementary. This is exciting work that you and your schoolmates are doing. I am a teacher at Georgia State University in Atlanta. But, enough about me...
Your new introductions are very interesting to me. I like the way you used questions to "hook" the reader. The questions made me want to know more. The descriptions of your feelings about September 11 were familiar to me because I felt just the same. A riddle for you to grapple with...How do you begin a story about a lake? "Once a pond a time"
Keep up the good work!
Ms. Jordan

[Candy]

I would love to win a $1000!

Perla,
This is a terrific start! I like the starter sentence that asks a question. Try to remember to add punctuation like question marks and be sure to read over your work before you submit. I can't wait to see the next post!

[Debi Gibson]

Dane,
I love your ideas for story starters. Where did you come up your ideas? Remember to capitalize the first letter in a last name (Bush). Can't wait to find out what how you got stuck in that tree!
Mrs. Gibson

[Mrs. Crowder]

I would like to hear more about the three highjackers.
