 * January 28, 2008

Dear Ms. Johnson,

Our class is doing a project where we will be learning to be better writers. We have heard that you like to write. So we have decided to write to you in hopes that you will respond.**
 * We have been inspired by the book, __Dear Mr. Henshaw__, by Beverly Cleary. The book is about a boy who writes to his favorite author. In the story, the author writes back to the boy and encourages him to write. We are hoping that you would be able to write back to us with suggestions on how to become better writers.**
 * You can find our letters by visiting our classroom wiki at www.mendellstudentwikis.wikispaces.com and click on the reading page or our individual student wikis.**
 * We know you are very busy, so we will understand if you can't write to us, but we sure hope that you can!

Fondly, Mr. M's 4th Grade Class**

 * January, 28 2008**

Who are you? I am Roy Chung, I am in Mr. M’s 4th grade class. I am a little good at math, and I am kind of shy.I also don't like talking to random people. and my outdoor subjects are playing football, and soccer. And when I grow up I want to be a lawyer. I am also not really good at spelling and can't remember alot at one time. I am also a type of person who doens't like asking people stuff. I also get really mad at people easily if he/she does something bad to me or mocks me. that is I am and who I am.

What do you look like? I look like a small person and I don't really like eating. I am also usualy small like and ant(sarcasm) thats why people think im a midget. you know like I said im really small. I Also have black hair, blackish-brown eyes, short hair covering my farhead. I even have a smallish nose with kinda dark skin. I am also am kind of skinny if you look and my sides or my body. That is basicly all what I look like.

What my family is like? In my world it is just plain boring. I have one dad, one mom, and two brothers. Not very fun for me. All I can do is play ping pong and sleep, If I’m done my homework at least. I can play, but not with electronics, and play outside. I read most of the time during the afternoon. I can also play with celephones but it has to be quiet. My brother, Aaron just reads his comic books like //__Calvin and hobs.__// If hes not reading most of the time I find him in his room sleep. My mom says to exercise, but he reads instead. That’s basically what my family does while im at school.

Where do you live Me and my family live ina messy (really messy) house with five people living inside of it. I live near a little freinds with trains passing by every twenty min going to the train station. I also live near school, wawa and acme too. The best thing is I live near two really nice, and friendly neighbors that live in about the same sized house as I do. I live in a two story house with six rooms, one play room, and four rooms for my brothers, and I. And one room for my parents to share. That is almost all the things I know that lead where I live.

= = Revised version of one journal entry of //Dear Mr.Henshaw/ for now dear Ms.Johnson// Do you have any pets? Well I don't and if I did. I would really like that. But my mom says" if it poops on the rug and don't clean it right away it would probably stay there and the stain and smell wouldn't go away. But she still is thinking about it. And my mom would have to eat a lot of medicine because my mom is allergic to dogs/ and is really allergic to cats and never want one in her sight(mine to)( I hate cats) and second of all Love dogs and that’s why I’m talking about it. and if it was a baby we wouldn't get any sleep ( still love dogs) and when it grows up it wouldn't grow tall ( toy poodle ) and I guess those are all my reasons I don’t have a pet (still want toy poodle). February 23 Sunday Yes Finally I got my new Dog! We named it Simba even though it’s really small. I guess you already know what it is. It’s obviously a Toy Poodle.( a toy poodle is a dog that doesn’t shed much fur.) But… we still haven’t trained it yet and it still goes kinda kooko. I’ll tell you about it. It Is a boy, and about 2 months old and is white and small with tiny sharp teeth that are really small and has red around his nose across his eyes. Fondly Roy
