C'mon! Please Mom and Dad?

Last week, we read 2 stories, The Perfect Pet and I Wanna Iguana. In each story, the child tried to convince their parent to let them get a particular pet. Well, we wanted to try our persuading skills. First, each child picked one thing they really wanted. We brainstormed in our journals reasons why we thought we needed or deserved this particular thing. Then, we wrote a letter to our parents, really working hard to persaude them! And let me tell ya -- your kids had some very convincing arguments! Last, we sent our letters home, keeping our fingers crossed. Parents had a chance to respond back to their child. We shared them as they came in and they turned out so cute. Thank you to all the parents who responded back! You should have seen your kids' excitement as we read these aloud. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post these!

And... of course I had to write one too!
