What is your favorite event at school? Write about it and give three examples why it is your favorite. Persuade your reader that it should be their favorite too.
=Our favorite school event is going on a field trip. I am going to tell you three reasons why we like going on field trips. We like them because we don't have to go to school, we get to look at interesting objects and we eat lunch outside.=

=First we dont have any work to do when were on a field trip.We are not in the classroom or school. However we are still learning. Also we don't have any work to do because we don't take anything from the classroom. You should really go to a field trip so you don't have to do any work.= = = =Next,when we go on field trips we look at interesting objects. The interesting objects can be statues of animals, like at the Museum of Nature and Science or the Wildlife Experience. For example I saw a burrowing owl at the Wildlife Experience. And also we see interesting objects like statues of a body. At the Museum of Nature and Science we went to the Hall of Life and saw bodies.= = = =Last, when it is lunch time we will go eat outside if it's sunny. You won't believe how fun it is to eat outside! We could play after we eat outside. It is the best way to eat on a field trip. Also it's great because you can pick your own lunch. It is awesome because it is hot when we eat lunch outside.= = = =All in all, these are the reasons why field trips are our favorite school event. Imagine going on an amazing field trip! What is your favorite school event?=

==First, there are 2 different kinds of computers. Desktops and laptops. On a desktop you use a mouse. You also can't take a desktop back to your desk. The laptopsd are better because they have a touch pad to control the mouse. Laptops also don't have a cpu so they are portable.==
