COMING SOON, I PROMISE . . .(1/25/13)
Bellport MS Students: your partner's letters should be below. Click on them to open and read them. They're PDFs, so you should be able to read them on pretty much anything.
The letters below are from students in Mr. Fraser's class. There are students from Mrs. Galaske's class in here, too. There's also a message/letter from Mr. Fraser, directly below.
Hey there, Bellport students! This is Mr. Fraser.
I am very intrigued and excited about our writing project with each other. I have dubbed the project East Coast Writing Partners (ECWP), at least form our end of things. I guess you guys would call us your West Coast Writing Partners (WCWP). I know it might sound a bit like minor-league hockey organizations, but that's what is so cool about it!
So, if you couldn't tell from that, I love hockey, as well as most other "major" sports (football, baseball, but not basketball so much). I grew up playing those sports, along with soccer, which was my main sport. Oddly, I don't really watch soccer that much. I also love tennis; the Australian Open was just held. Did anyone watch any of it? I'm now too old and out of shape to really play sports that much, but I still love watching, teaching, and talking about them. I also love the outdoors and going camping, fishing and all that good stuff.
I'm also very into music. I respect music, and musicisians, of all types, even if I don't necessarily "dig" their stuff. I'm also a musician myself: I play bass guitar, guitar, and I sort of play the mandolin and piano, and I play in a few bands quite regularly. We have music classes here at Moffitt; all my students play either woodwinds or brass. What about you?
I also know that writing, and good writing and reading skills, are important and vital to success, especially in today's digital, quick-moving world. That's why I am so excited for us to get this chance to write, and read, letters back and forth. I look forward to learning a lot about each other, and ourselves, through this project. Write On!!!!
