Hi Elsa, it's Lauren. I think your biography is really cool. I especially like your drawing. My mom is teaching me how to keyboard with the homerow keys, but it's still tricky for me. I didn't know you were being homechoold. Is your mom your teacher? I got to be in my mom's classroom last year. I liked it a lot most of the time. It would be so cool if we lived next to each other so we could be in the same homeclass. Well bye! I love you ! Say hi to Eveyln Rose for me!
ReplyDeleteLove, Lauren
Dear Elsa,
ReplyDeleteThis is an informative essay and your drawing is wonderful. I didn't know that C.Chaplain was 14 when he started acting, or that he wrote some of his own films. I am curious, what country was he from? Also, from your info I learned that he died the year your mom was born. What a great project this is, keep them coming. Love, Nana
Dear Lauren,
ReplyDeleteMy mom doesn't teach me, but I go to a charter school where my teacher, Linda McCord, comes once a week and goes over what I have done that week.
