Selena's Page Extra curricular activities keep people out of trouble. They stay out out trouble because they're at practice and they don't have as much downtime. Their sports keep them busy and people with extra curricular activities try to stay out of trouble so they don't get kicked off of their team.

Extra curricular activities also help people exercise and get healthy, because most people don't like to exercisde by themselves. The activities keep you out and busy so that you aren't home sitting down doing nothing and constantly eating and watching TV. Extra curricular activities most of the time include exercising which keeps your heart healthy and makes your life last longer.

Comparing and contrasting 1st Draft
Basketball and football have many likenesses and differences such as them both being very popular sports, and them both requiring a lot of running, and their differences in the uniforms that they wear.

First of all basketball and football are both very popular sports. They both have multiple teams with very many fans that go to their games and cheer them on.

Basketball and football are also similar because they both require a lot of running. In both basketball and football you have to run to keep the ball away from the other team and to make goals.

Basketball and football are different in some ways too, such as their uniforms. In basketball all you have to wear are shorts and a jersey because theres not that great of a chance of you getting hurt because there isn't much physical contact. In football you have to wear a helmet, and pads because there is a lot of physical contact and there is a high risk that you could get hurt.

In conclusion basketball and football have many likenesses and differences such as them both being very popular, them both requiring a lot of running, and the differences in the uniforms that they wear.

Ticket Manager New Amsterdam Theatre 214 West 42nd Street New York, NY 10036

Dear Ticket Manager,

Mrs.Kenningston's fifth-grade class from Washington Elementary School will be studying theatre during the month of March. To conclude their study, Mrs.Kenningston would like for them to attend a Broadway production of The Lion King on March 25.

Approximately twenty children would attend the performance along with five chaperones. Does your theatre offer educational discounts for the matinee performance?

One of our students needs wheelchair accessibility. What facilities do you have to accommodate this student?

The students are very excited about the possibility of attending a live Broadway production. Please provide me with the requested information as soon as possible so that the neccessary arrangements can be made.

Sincerely,

Marsha Rhodes/Parent Volunteer

Mrs.Tara Cruz 4221 Bookman Street New York, NY 10038-8326 Dear Mrs.Cruz

Thank you for helping chaperone the fifth-grade class on their field trip to Broadway. When I visited Mrs.Kenningstons's classroom yesterday, the children were all still excited about having attended the play. Their thank-you note is enclosed.

Because of parents like you, educational experiences outside the classroom are possible. These experiences being 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 exciting trip to Broadway. I know the task wasn't easy, but I felt it was worth our time.

Sincerely,

Marsha Rhodes/Parent Volunteer
