Dear Jovana,

I’m fine for now, thanks for asking, and might I write that your English writing is fantastic! The weather is much like yours, but we get snow in the winter. Do you get snow at all? I am 13 years old. How old are you? I listen to Hip-Hop, Pop, Alternative and sometimes Rock. I also like old classical music, it helps sooth me. I am sometimes called a nerd because I love to read, I like fantasy books most; my definition of a nerd would be Never Ending Radical Dude. Well, enough about me, what three things do you do almost everyday? What do you usually do after school? How many hours of school do you have? We have seven hours of school everyday, but we don’t have school on Saturday and Sunday. Do you have any chores or jobs? Do you have a pet? I have a little dog as my pet, his name is Rico, but we call him Freeko because he is the weirdest dog ever. What about holidays? What holidays do you celebrate? Halloween is coming soon. It’s a fun holiday where kids and some adults dress-up to be whatever they want to be for example a fairy, a witch, a zombie, and they go around to peoples houses and say “Trick or Treat” then you get candy. Halloween is also a day to really scare people, for fun. I’m going to be a vampire. I love vampires! Remember, all these characters are myths, or not real. I should probably stop writing right now, seeing that there’s hundreds of questions for you to answer.

Your friend,
Mack

Hello Tanja,
I loved hearing from you. This time we are doing “A day and a life.” We get questions put on the board to answer.
1. What do you do almost every day?(3 things)
My 3 things are
Read ( Physik by Angie Sage)
Do a dog puzzle
Walk my grandma’s dogs Riley and Oscar
2. What do you do when you get home after school?
I either read or do homework
3. What time do you get up and go to bed?
I get up at 5:45 a.m. and go to bed at 9:30 P.M.
4. Do you have any chores or jobs?
For chores I have to empty and fill the dishwasher, and take out the trash
For jobs I baby-sit in my church nursery and volunteer at a no kill animal
Shelter
5. What are you favorite foods?
My favorite food would have to be steak or chicken and rice
6. How long are your school days?
My school day is 7hr and 10min
7. What are some of the most important subjects you study?
History, Science, Math, and English
8. What are some of your favorite activities to do after school?
Read, or ply with my rabbit (Janeaux and Tinkey- Winkey)
Noir Et Blanc Janeaux Lapin

Tinkey- Winkey

I would love if you could answer these questions. Noir Et Blanc Janeaux Lapin is 3 he is almost 3 feet long and still growing. Tinkey- Winkey is 5 months old and by the time he is 2 years old he will loose most of the gray and have grey spots like Janeaux except Jeaneaux’s are black. Noir Et Blanc Janeaux Lapin means black and white bunny rabbit and it is French he got his name because I like and want to study French. I have been to France 2 times. Tinkey- Winkey got his name because here in America we used to have a show called Tellitubies and there are 4 tellitubies named Tinkey- Winkey, Dipsy, LaLa, and Po. I love that show Tinkey- Winkey comes first out of all 4 so since Tinkey- Winkey was the first rabbit I got after getting the idea to name my rabbits after them he got that name. The next rabbit I get will be named Dipsy and so on.

Yours truly,
Courtney

Dear Luka Milovic,
My favorite animals are foxes. I do have siblings, I have five. I have my Mom and Dad and then, starting with the oldest, my brother Jordan, me, my sister Lacey, my brother Ryan, my sister Cassidy, and my brother Dyllan. Today I woke up at 6:45 to read my scriptures. Then I got dressed. Then I ate breakfast and got ready for school. Then I arrived at school and went to technology class then I went to my world affairs class where I am writing this letter. Than I will go to a lot of boring classes that will take a long time to write. Than I go home and do my homework and do my chores and then have dinner and go to sleep. I have a few questions. How old are you? Do you like biking? My favorite season is winter too. I don’t have a favorite website but I am going to yours after school.
Sincerely,
Alan Whitehead

Dear Ljubica,
Where is Kragujevac? I am 11 too. What is Tokyo drift? My favorite subject is History. I like playing computer games, too. What time does your school start and when do you get let out? Ours starts at 8:10 and gets out at 3:20. I don’t think it’s the same time over there.

What class were you in when you wrote that letter? Do you play any instruments? I play the piano and violin. So, if you’re in grade 5 of your primary school, does that mean you’re in fifth grade? So, the things I usually do on a daily basis are first I get up at 6:15 and go eat breakfast. Then I get ready for school and then leave. When I get to school, I go to either P.E. or Technology. After that, I go to World Affairs (Which I’m in right now) or Spanish 2. Spanish is my least favorite subject and I’m not really good at it. By the way, how do you pronounce your name? My friends are all trying to say it. Anyway, I just found out that since it’s 5:47 there in the evening and it’s 9: 47 here, you’re 8 hours ahead. So we get into school where you are at about 4:10 your time and get out at 11:20 at night. Okay, back to the subject. Then I go to Office Aid because I have mixed- up math. After that, I go to History. Then I go to Advisory. Do you have hot lunch at your school? After lunch, we have science. After science, we have English. Then, most people have Electives except me, Jenna, Paige, Leticia, Elizabeth, Joey, Zach, and Alan. (Sorry if you don’t know these people.) The reason we don’t have electives 8th period is because we are in advanced math. After school, I do my homework and watch T.V. Then I eat dinner, watch T.V. some more, then go to bed. Are you a guy or a girl? Do you have an E-mail address? Well, see you later! 

Your Pen pal,

Hi Stefan!

It’s great that you like basketball and football! I do too. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Whitesnake and Eurosport, but they both sound interesting! What is your favorite food or foods? I really like Mexican food, and I also like Chinese food. Those are probably my favorites. Do you have any good restaurants or fast food places? We have a restaurant that I like it’s called Hunan Taste and it’s Chinese. I also like Senor Jalapeno, and that’s Mexican. My favorite fast food place is Taco Bell. What do you usually do when you get home from school? I usually do my homework and check my emails. Three things that I do almost everyday would probably be brush my teeth, wash my face, and watch TV. What about you? What time do you get up and go to bed? I usually get up at 6am, and go to bed at 9pm. We have to go to school for 7 hours, what about you? Do you have any pets? I have three dogs. I have two Jack Russell Terriers, and one yellow lab. I used to have two yellow labs, the other was named Magnum, but he died when I was in 2nd grade. It was very sad, because he was my best friend. But I have recovered since then, but I still shed one or two tears now and then. My favorite singer is probably Demi Lovato, and my favorite group would have to be Queen.

Thanks for writing to me,

Aspen

P.S. I really do enjoy chatting with you!
this is a picture of my favorite sport! It’s volleyball.

Dear Jelena,

Sorry I haven’t written, I got really sick.
I hate winds too. I am more of a rain person. I love sitting out in the rain and just smelling it. A lot of people don’t have pets in America. But many people do. Both my parents work a lot. My dad started his own business and my mom is a billing associate; which is billing people after you go to the doctor. It is hard for me to fit in my sports but I still like doing them so I make time. I love talking to my friends, all the time. I still love learning; I also didn’t like it when I was younger. I am also in the eighth grade. It is really fun at sometimes but the other times it is not.
At 6:10 I wake up. I get in the shower and then I get ready for school. At about 6:40 I go down stairs get my breakfast ready, then at 6:50 I eat and read. Then at 7:00 I make my lunch; which normally consists of a sandwich, fruits, vegetables, and something sweet. Then when I am done (at 7:10) I play with my dog. Then at 7:30 I go back inside and then I read more. Then at about 7:45 I leave for school. Then at school first period is music or art, they switch off every other day. Then second period is our electives, which is Spanish 2 and then World Affairs (this class). Then we go to English and then Science. After that we go to advisement (a study hall) and then we go to lunch. After lunch we have a short recess and then we go to history and then math (algebra). Then in eighth period we have electives again. I have choir and then band. After school (if I don’t have a sports practice) I walk to my dads office which is not far away and then I go home. I do my homework; take my dog out for a walk. And do more homework and make dinner. After dinner I finish my homework and then I watch a little television.
School is good. Everything else is good. What are your favorite colors? Where do you go to school? Do you like animals? Tell me more about you.
