Carter+Arnika

Arnika's Page To start off, extra curricular activities should be founded because of the extra time children tend to have on their hands. Most kids spend plenty of time simply doing nothing. That can be quickly changed by joining the Art Club or Step Team. Instead of wasting time, someone could be using that time doing something important. Also, there is no point of children being unconductive and bored all of the time. If their where plenty of opportunities to have fun, children would want to participate. What would be better than a child wanting to be part of something possitive? Every parent's dream should be that their kids will grow up and be somebody important. Extra activities and clubs would give them a chance to fit into a place and be theirselves. They may feel more comfortable to learn and actually try. No time should be waisted when there are many things to do.

Next, extra curricular activities usually opens a door of socialization. Most children have problems which prevents them from "opening up" to people. A club of some type would make it easy for someone to meet new people. Starting to branch out and become friends with different people could take a person a long way. Someone's bestfriend for life could be waiting for them in some special club of some sort. Most importantly, going out on a limb to meet new people could build character. Children "find themselves" by taking chances and seeing how people are. Learning from different people is one of the best ways to go. Extra activities are for more than fun, a person's social life can depend on it.

Lastly, extra curricular activities could give children an experience of a life time. Nothing is better than trying new things. A child will not want to do different things if they do not start some where small. Children can also learn important things from the different activities. Someone could learn how to be more respectful with a group or learn how to ask more questions. The experience a child could recieve could help them "find themselves." Extra activities could give a child the information they need to know that will help them know what they want to got to college for. All in all, extra curricular activities give children a chance to experience something important.

"Today the Art Club meeting was so fun! We learned about all of the opportunities we could have if we joined. I can not wait until it starts." This was me after my first Art Club meeting. Joining something new was becoming an important part of my "High School" life. Extra curricular activities are a great way to occupy time, improve socializing skills, and experience something great. Extra curricular activities are a possitive affect on a student's life.
 * Introduction**

In conclusion, extra curricular activities can have a positive outcome in a student's life. Extra activities could occupy time, improve social skills, and offere a great experience. To sum things up, extra curricular activities are wonderful ways to add great opportunities to a student.

Mr. Andrew Chaney 324 Brookside Avenue NW Salem. OR 97304-9008

Dear Mr. Chaney,

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak to our **A**spring **M**usicians **C**lub. It was great learning more about the "Masters" from you.

I particularly enjoyed learning more about the German composers. It is amazing that so many of the great musicians (Johann Sebastian and Richard Wagner) are all from Germany. It is my goal to continue my study of music at the **Staatliche Hochschule fur Musik Rheinland** in Germany once I graduate from college.

Your insights into what it takes to make it is as a professional musician were also enlightening for our members. Those of us who want to become professional musicians know we have to rededicate ourselves to that goal if we are going to be successful.

Thank you again for sharing your expertise with our club.

Sincerely,

Stephen R. Knowles AMC Member

To began with, year around school would interfere with vacation time. Students go to school for 10 months with a few breaks for Holidays. Those two months are waited on and worshiped when they arrived. June an July are the only months students are completely out of school to do what they please. Families plan all year for summer vacation. Year around school would affect vacations greatly. For example, my aunt flies my cousins and I to Detroit every summer. It is a possibility that I could not visit Detroit due to yearly school and Detroit's weather only being comfortable during the summer. Summer vacation has been around so long, why should it be changed now? The transition to the current summer vacation to yearly school could be difficult. Parents would have to find sitters for their kids breaks during the whole year. That may not be ideal for working parents. Year around school could disrupt the personal vacation time that is set for families.
 * Letter 3**
 * Body**

Next, year around school could become a conflict against precious Holiday time. Imagine parents clearing the set time out for Christmas break, which children have been waiting for all year long. Going to school and waiting for a possible difference in break for Christmas could be risky. Also, what about the most special time of the year, Thanksgiving? This is a time of giving, great-fullness, and the most important food. Everyone may not be able to enjoy it if everyone's schedule is altered. How would a child in school feel if it was a possibility that they might miss spring break? The traditional things are sometimes the best. Everyone wants to be out for sure around that time. Yearly school could be a problem for people around the time ofHolidays.

Finally, year around school could corrupt many things. Imagine how touring businesses could be disturbed by yearly schooling. During the time of summer vacation, students will be at school. While their is no time to go on vacation at the right time, vacation places will be without buisiness. Also, year around school could make it extremely hard for the students that longed for a summer job or program. With out a full summer, it may be difficult to have the experience of a summer job or program. What about the parents? Personally, during the summer my parents have to search for a place I can safely go to while they are working. How would that be if we were out every 6 weeks? Finding child care could be a serious struggle to working parents. Yearly schooling could possibly create many different problems.

My immediate family gathers the information and the money to go on an out of state trip every summer. This "family vacation" is one of the only times we as a "family" are together at once. The "summer time" vacation is the one thing that surely brings joy into everyone's life. A full two months of vacation is important due to vacation time, holiday time, and the balance students traditonally have. The traditional school schedule should not be completly altered.
 * Introdution**

In conclusion, all of the great aspects of the traditional summer vacation out weigh the aspects of year around school. Yearly schooling could possibly mean vacation time, holiday time, and the balance of students being changed. The way majority of present day schools do not have year around school, and the tradition should be upheld.

Dear Armani Dealer,

Last week when I was in Longview visiting relatives, I noticed thatt you had Giuseppe Armani figurines displayed in your window. You had already closed for the day, so I was not able to see if you had other figurines.

I am interested in three sculptures that Armani had created to celebrate the new millennium. They are called **Stardust**, **Silver** **Moon**, and **Comet**. I want to buy all three sculptures. Do you have them in stock, or could you order them? If not, could you refer me to a nearby dealer?

I am looking forward to adding these exquisite pieces of art to my collection.

Sincerely,

Cynthia A. Maustin

Ms. Annette Banks 91 Kenwood Street Brookline, MA 02446-2412

Dear Ms. Banks,

At our meeting this summer, we decided to dedicate one unit of instruction to John F. Kennedy. As you will recall, I was assigned the responsibility for proposing a curriculum for this paricular unit of instruction.

The possibilities of what to include in this unit were unlimited. It was very difficult squeezing everything into a one-week unit (see enclosure). However, I enjoyed the challenge of trying to do so. JFK is one of my favorite Presidents: many of my childhood memories are centered around the few shorts years that he was President.

What do you think of taking our classes on a tour of his birthplace? The home he was born in at 83 Beals Street is now a National Historic Site. Woudn't this be a great way to conclude our unit and impress upon our students that the 35th President of the United States lived in a modest home only a few blocks away from our school?

If this is of interest to you, I will start making arrangments for both of our classes. I'm already getting excited about returning to school in the fall.

Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Salmon,

I would be more than happy to meet with you to discuss my experiences during my assignment in the Persian Gulf Region. It was one of the most, if not the most, exciting assignments I've worked on. The night the attack on Baghdad began will be with me for the rest of my life.

I will share with you the events in Kuwait that precipitated the way. I believe wes should also discuss how these events led up to the next conflict, Iraqi Freedom.

Please call me at 212-183-8211 so we can arrange a time and location to meet. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

To began, Haywood Highschool has many different highlights to it. Haywood Highschool is an average Highschool. The school work is not as challenging as many different schools can be. The students have a choice between simple classes and Honors classes. Haywood has 7 periods during the whole year. The classes pass by quickly, but a lot of work is done at home. Also, the Pep Rallies at Haywood are extremely fun. Most students enjoy attending them. The Pep Rallies are feeled with spirit, games, and wonderful entertainment. Haywood Highschool has different oppotunities to offer a student.
 * Body**

Nest, Madison Highschool has many different oppotunities to offer. The Highschool is an all Honors school. The students have no choice but to take Honors classes. Madison is an Academic school, so the classes are college based. Madison is a block schedule school. There are four classes each student takes every semester. The students only have to juggle 4 classes at a time. Also, the teachers at Madison are extremely helpful. The classes have a small student to teacher reatio, so each student recieves individual help. Madison Highschool has numerous different highlight.

Last, Haywood Highschool and Madison Highschool have some things similar to another. Madison and Haywood both have a time called Break. Break is a time students can use to take a breather and take to friends. Some use break to visit teachers for assistance. They also both have wonderful teachers that are willing to help each student succeed. Some teachers make it easy for students to feel comfortable about learning. Also, both schools have snack machines for the students. The snacks help students to go through the day successfully. Madison and Haywood have some similar things about them.

Recently I have transferred to Haywood Highschool from Madison Highschool. The transition was none of what I was accustumed to.The schedule, teachers, and over all school ethic was a whole different world. Haywood Highschool has some great highlights as well as Madison Highschool, and they both have a few things that are similar. Haywood Highschool and Madison Highschool are alike and different in many ways.
 * Introduction**

Inconclusion, Haywood and Madison Highschool has some things alike and very different. Haywood Highschool has great things about it, and so does Madison Highschool. Both schools have a couple of similarities between them. Haywood and Madison Highschool are two different schools, but are the same in some ways.

Dear Mrs. Cruz

Thank you for helping chaperone the fifth-grade class on their field trip to Broadway. Whe I visited Mrs. Kennington's classroom yesterday, the children were still excited about having attended the play. Their thank-you not is enclosed.

Because of parent's like you, educational experiences outside the classroom are possible. These experiences bring to life what the students learn in school. I'm glad our children have this enrichment.

Thank you again for accepting the challenge of watching over the fifth-graders on their trip to Broadway. I know the task wasn't easy, but I felt it was well worth our time.

Sincerely,

Marsha Rhodes Parent Volunteer Enclosure
