Letters from my class to their parents

       One of the homework assignments I had my students do was to write a letter to their parents for Parents' Day. It's a holiday to celebrate one's parents usually by giving a red carnation and some type of gift to parents and grandparents. This year, Parents' Day fell on Tuesday; May 8, 2012.
       Orginally, it was only Mother's Day, and fathers were not included in this holiday. Fathers complained about how they didn't have their own day when they brought home the bacon, so they conjoined the two and made Parents' Day. I think it's a superb idea since Americans have to celebrate both Mother's and Father's Day, one right after the other.
        These are my students letters. My favorite letter so far is the one written by Gracie, the last letter. I saved the best for last.

Written by Patrick (He's very clever and has a superb memory. He gets the highest grade but does the least amount of work.

Written by Hannah (She did an excellent job.)

Written by Daniel (A true gentleman)
