			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>*This is my first writing example of the school year. This letter was not edited.</p>
<p>Open House Letter</p>
<p>Dear Mom and Dad,</p>
<p>I really like Marie Murphy and I’m having a blast. All the teachers are really nice to not just me but everyone. The projects and units we are starting, is turning out not too bad. In Marie Murphy I am looking forward to do a bunch of really exciting activities. One of them is music class because you get to play really cool instruments. When we play it is really exciting making our own beats and melodies. Another thing I am looking forward to is creative tech because you get to create art with the computer and do all these simulations with in certain units. Those are some of the things I am really excited for.</p>
<p>There is a lot more technology and rooms than Avoca West and the rooms in Marie Murphy look really cool. When you come to open house I want you to see the rooms I am about to list for you. I want you to see the Creative tech room because of how much computers there are. I want you to see the music room because of all the instruments they have. Then finally I want you to see the school locker room if they allow you to. I want you to see that because I have never had a locker room and I want you to see the lockers and showers in the locker room. I want you to see all these rooms if you have time because of their differences from Avoca West’s rooms.</p>
<p>I have a lot of goals for Marie Murphy. My goals are to improve my ISATs, get straight As and Bs, to enjoy while learning, and to survive the rest of the school year. I will try to get a better score on my ISATs and improve my grades by working harder and paying <span style="text-decoration: underline;">a lot </span>more attention. I will try to have the best attitude to enjoy the rest of the school year.</p>
<p>I am finally concluding my letter. I hope you see all the rooms I have listed and I hope I accomplish my goals. Thank you and I hope you come to open house.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Matthew</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Blurb by Matthew</span></em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="text-decoration: none">Maximum Ride The Angel Experiment </span></span>is a book about six kids that could fly. Their names are Maximum, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Angel, and the Gasman. Their mission is to fight a pack called the Erasers, which are people that are half wolf half human, save Angel, and save the whole world from an organization called the School where they put weird experiments together to create mutants. This book was action packed and it had a bit comedy into it. It also wanted you to keep reading to see what will happen next in the book. I recommend this book more for boys because of its intense action.</p>

<p align="center"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">By: Matthew</span></strong></p>
<p>My favorite time of the year is very colorful.  It’s very peaceful how the leaves fall from the trees in a cool and breezy weather, where people are everywhere playing.  This is the beautiful scene of fall.  Fall is a time to do so many things.  There are gatherings, different foods you can eat, and a whole lot of excitement.  Fall is my favorite time of the year because of its magnificent holidays, breezy weather, and all of the nature you see.</p>
<p>To begin with, fall has so many holidays in it.  Thanksgiving is a really heart warming holiday.  It makes me want to give thanks to so many things.  During thanksgiving I also have a blast with my family.  It feels good to give thanks.  Another holiday is Halloween, which is about having fun while wearing a question that you want.  It is also about scaring other.  You can go trick-or-treating, go to a Halloween party, and etc.   The holidays in fall are one of my favorite holidays of the year.</p>
<p>In addition to holidays, I really love the cool, breezy weather in the fall.  It feels so good when the wind goes through your hair while you are biking or running.  Sometimes the weather is so nice you just want to lie down and look up in the sky while he wind takes you away.  Its really seems peaceful.  When I am running in the summer it gets really hot and I sweat so much, more than the usual.  But in the fall it is just perfect to run and do almost everything you want because of the weather of fall.  The breeze is just perfect and that makes fall one of my favorite times of the year.</p>
<p>Along with holidays and breezy weather I also like fall because of it’s quantity of nature. In the fall the nature is so beautiful because of the scenery. Leaves of all different colors, leaves falling everywhere, animals scurrying for food, and etc. It seems so peaceful when you look outside smell that fresh air and see all the wonderful colors. Sometimes to help the squirrels find there food I would try to find an acorn, then find a squirrel and then toss the acorn near them so it would find it. Sometimes the squirrel gets frightened and runs and sometimes they eat it. I like it when I help the squirrels it makes the scene look a little better. This is another reason why fall is my favorite time of the year.</p>
<p>Without a doubt fall is my most favorite season. I cherish fall because of the holidays, breezy weather, and the nature. That’s why I think fall is the best season of all.</p>
