Jim was unable to get to sleep.  When he went to bed he cried.  Tomorrow is his
birthday party and it is going to be ruined. How can we go sledding with no snow?
The next morning, when Jim got out of bed and ran to the window, he shouted with
glee, "The snow has fallen and we can go sledding!"  Jim was happy because now
he can have his birthday sledding party.

Everyone should have a pet.  Pets are very loving and affectionate.  They help
children learn responsibility.  Pets give you unconditional love.  Having a pet is a
wonderful experience.

If you want to become a better reader you need to read often.  Research supports
that children need to read frequently to be able to read fluently and to be able read
high frequency words. All students will benefit by reading at least 20 - 30 minutes per
day.  Make it a point and read more often!

Having good manners means being polite and thoughtful to others.  Saying  a simple
please and thank you are examples of good manners.  Holding a door open for
someone is very polite.  Practicing good table manners is being thoughtful. Some
good table manners would include placing your napkin on your lap, asking someone
to please pass something you would like, and eating neatly.  Giving someone a
sincere compliment and graciously accepting a compliment by saying thank you are
more ways to show good manners. Using good manners is a way to show respect
for others and an example of The Golden Rule!
