Is Hallowe’en Great or Not?
categories: Project 365
History of Hallowe’en: http://www.history.com/content/halloween
or http://www.halloweenhistory.org/
Write a paragraph outlining your position. Make sure you have an interesting opening sentence and an interesting closer.
Student example:
Trick-Or-Treat!Halloween is the best night ever!You can enjoy time with friends,eat candy and dress up as what every person or thing you want!It is the 2′nd best time to pull pranks on people.It is a scary, tasty, fun time.When ever i finish trick-or-treating i always trade candy with friends.Halloween is the 1 of the best holidays ever!HAPPY HALLOWEEN!-BOO!
or:
Hallowen is not a great holiday, if it’s a holiday shouldn’t you get a day off of school and work? Why isn’t it during the whole day? Why? I tell you why to scare you silly and for what, a little bit of candy! I could get some candy for less then a buck.
After you go trick or treating you go to bed thinking about monsters and stuff. Why? Because it isn’t a good holiday. I don’t like to get scared. Do you?

Soda Solution?
categories: Project 365
Obesity and Weight Gain is a North American Problem. New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, wants to attack this problem by banning all sugary drinks over 16 ounces or 500 ml (just larger than a pop can) sold in restaurants, movie theaters, sports arenas etc. The ban will not effect pop sold in grocery stores but just at these other locations. If passed, will this change the problem? Is this a good thing? Should government be involved to attack this problem? Or should government stay out and let people make their own choices?
Read the article http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/05/31/new-york-large-sugar-drink-ban.html for more info, google more videos if you like to further back up your opinion.

Kindree Words from me: june1
Tomorrow is June 1st. Wow…we have done so much and come so far since the beginning of September.
We had a very busy week too. This year has been full of so many things that we have been involved in from way back at the beginning of the year with our remembrance day assembly, to our black light performance, our eventual trip to Wonderland, Pink Day, Blue Day, our high fives at the end of the day, to spending every day together…learning, playing, laughing, reading, experimenting, painting, creating and trying new ways to explore our world and so much more. All of you have you grown up in front of my eyes. A truly amazing group of smart, fun, nice, respectful and sometimes silly bunch of people you all are.
Some of you have been Kindree Kids have been here since you were only 4 years old! Some of you have been with the Kindree family for a short time, but have made an impact on us in such time period.
Please write a paragraph of memories from each grade level that you’ve been in, your teacher and what you remembered most, friends you made and things that have had an impact on you. If you arrived this year, explain what this school, this class has done for you, what r your favourite memories of grade 5. Remember…we have travelled together and we will always travel together. Please remember to ask your parents if you forget some things that have happened to you or experienced throughout your Kindree career.
Looking forward to reading your thoughts….
Mr.Woods
