Lunch Hour Mix-up: Opinion/Fact

Hello Grade Fives!

For two weeks, you have been going outside at 12:00 for twenty minutes to play and then returning to eat your lunch. I would like to hear personal facts about how this is working or not working for you.

Using a paragraph structure, state your opinion (e.g. I like the new lunch schedule or I do not like the schedule). Support your opinion with personal facts or the impact this switch has on you (e.g. when I play first, I come in hungry and eat all of my lunch).
I would then like you to make any constructive suggestions as to how we can make this work for everyone if the school continues with this schedule.

As usual, I look forward to reading your thoughtful responses.


Learning Intentions: I can support my opinion with logical supporting personal facts.
Criteria: opinion, supporting personal facts, writing conventions

Love, Mrs. French

Dear Mrs. French

I do not like the new lunch schedule. There are lots of reasons in my brain. Here are three of them. First, we don't have enegy. Second, we don't have time to eat. Third, class start erlyer. That why I do not like the new lunch schedule.

Dear Mrs. French

I do not like the new lunch schedule as it gives us less time to burn our energy off. With this schedule it makes my luch taste discusting and after running around it gives me a poor apitite. I am always hungry after working at school work, but playing takes away my apitite. I also gives me a horrible stomache ache after running then eating right away. I don't like the new lunch schedulefor a varity of reasons and theese are the reasons that I don't like it.

hi, Mrs French

i think that we sould do the old lunch. Because some people get stumch eacs and i do sometimes. And it gets confusing for Cole and Braden kerr and some of the people don't like it.

Dear Mrs. French
I like the new lunch hour because I can play outside early and I don't like the fact that i'm hungry when I play because I don't have as much energy.

Dear Mrs French I ahve a lot of reasons i diss like it.

these ar e some reasons I do not like the new lunch way. First I do not like it becaus e it gives me a stomic acke when i run then i eat really fast.Second is we do not have a lot of time to eat your lunch. Thired if it was the other way and we did not finesh are lunch can stay in and eat so that we have time to eat.That is what i think about the lunch way.

(Suggestion) My suggestion is that if people want to eat there lunch first they can and if they do not want to they do'nt so it is fair.

I hope you enjoyed this messege.

Goofy said...

Dear MRS.French
I do like the knew lunch hour program beacause...
Well it seems like it gives you more time to eat and relaxe when your done.And in a way i dont like it beacuase it feels like were getting less time to play but i believe its not because im trusting the teachers and what they think...It helps my head read and makes me feel more active... is that what you would call it?
That is my opinion on the knew lunch hour Thanks 4 reading.From Goofy!!!

Good morning Mrs.French! How are you? I am okay. I am disliking the snow at the moment and I have the flew (NOT SWINE FLEW)!

I dislike the lunch change. First, when you go outside to play you don't have as much energy as you do when you eat before you go out to play. Second, after you are done recess and you come in for lunch you are sometimes having to eat during your class time. Third, sometimes when we go outside to play first we get a stomach ache because we get hungry and we are running around with our stomach growling. That is why I dislike the luch change.

P.S. It might even be a good idea if we let the people who like the lunch change do there recess well the other kids who dislike it eat and so on. E.G. gr.7&5's eat there lunch well gr.4&6's go out on to there recess. Then the bell will ring and the 7's and 5's go out for recess well the 4's and 6's come in to eat. Just an example.

Dear Mrs.French how are you? Well I am ok I have been sick but I'm getting better slowly. I still can't belive that it is snowing in May! Anyway...

I dislike the lunch schedule. First, I think that when we go out to play we don't have enough energy to play out side. Second, when we come in to eat we have all this energy but we can't go out and burn all that energy we have to sit at our desk's. Third, some people are getting svery hungry well they play and sometimes start to feel sick. That is why i do not like the lunck schedule.

PS. I will not be sad or mad if the lunch schedule doesn't change because i understande that it is the teachers choice not the students. I also think maybe an example for keaping everyone happy is to let every one who likes the lunch scedule to do it this way and all the people who do not like it to do it the other way.

Dear Mrs.French
I don't like the lunch hour change because you get less time to play. For the old lunch hour you could burn off your energy and now we don't burn off your energy and want to talk to burn it off. I also don't like it because now we don't want to play because we don't have energy to.Thats my opinion on the new lunch hour change.

Dear Mrs French

platypus said...

Mrs. French
I do not like this lunch hour. Why, because I don't have the energy in food to help me play outside.Also, because I some times get stomach ache after I play.

Bye!

Runes said...

Dear Mrs. French,
I think the lunch hour should stay the same. I think you get more of an appetite this way. I also think that you get more energy to do your work.

Go Girl said...

Dear Mrs.French
I don't like the new lunch because I don't get alot of time to play.When I play I get bad head achs because I don't eat. And because I am use to a nother lunch. I also don't eat when I go it is time to eat my lunch cause my body tells me that it is not time to eat.
P.S. Please Change It Back to the old lunch

Dear Mrs French

I really do not like the lunch hour because when I get hungry a snack does not help. And after I eat I like to go outside and burn some of those calories I do it at home most of the time. I feel kind of sick if I do not eat enough and I really rarely get a stomach ache but it has hapened before. Sometimes I get really hungry and when I get inside I even hungrier and I am a really slow eater and do not get enough to eat. This is why I do not like the new lunch hour.

Dear Mrs. French

I do not tlike the new lunch schedule. I do not tlike the new lunch schedule because you are really hungry and you go outside you don't feel like playing because your so hungry. anouther reason why I do not like the lunch is because when I and a couple other students get really hungry and do not fell very well. Also I eat my lunch before the bell and theres nothing to do.

I hope that we work this out!

I do not like the new lunch schedule because when we go outside your hungry and you cant play that well. Everyone is allways hungry and your belly hurts all the time. You also dont have enough energy to play. When you come back in you dont have enough time to eat and the teachers have lots of time to eat your food. I do not like the new lunch schedule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fredy said...

Dear mrs. French I don't like the new lunch hour because I don't get to go out side as much as before. And it makes me sick because I don't eat first. I don't have enouph energy to.

Abagailia said...

Dear Mrs. French,
I hate the new lunch thing!!!! I do not have enouph energy. I feel sick when I'm outside, because I am used to the other schedule. In addition, the lunch feels shorter, and we don't think we have enouph time to play. We also have ot sit at our desks the whole time after we eat, and then we have so much energy, we have to burn it at our desks, and that means we get in trouble. (When we have to be noisy to burn energy.)Our lunches don't taste as well as the could have. It gets really confusing sometimes because I will always think that we have to 'grab our lunches and go to class'. I do not like our new lunch at all!!!!

I will not like it if we still have to continue with the new lunch, but I also understand that it is the teachers choice and not the students. (Even though I wish it was!)

Have a good afternoon and please change back the lunch.

Mrs. French
Things come and go..... and hopefuly this one dose!
I do not like the new lunch hour i would say i hated it but that is a strong word. I come in and TRY to eat my lunch, the reason i try and eat my lunch is because i come in from outside from playing and i am so hungry that i am nauseous, and i am to sick to eat and now i am not eating lunch because it make me sick!
and i do not play at lunch because my stomch i sore and i want to eat some lunch. That is reason #1, now #2, another reason i do not like the new lunch thing is because i do not have any energy after lunch and i can not focus on my work and i feel really tierd and i all most up chucked in the bathroom after lunch IT MAKES ME SOOOOOOOOOO SICK!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THIS NEW LUNCH HOUR, I hope i made this clear with you! I think you have had enough of this but 'tell me all of them' Reason #3 the reason my singnetur is on the ptison is because kids should have i right about things, i think the WHOLE SCHOOL should have a vote on it have a box that says "do not like the new lunch hour" and one that says "like the new lunch hour"

tootels!

Dear mrs.French how are you this afternoon? How was your long weekend?

I don't like the new lunch hour because when I go outside to play my tummy starts to feel weird and like I'm going to puke when I play.When I come in to eat I don't feel like eating and I need to eat to stay healthy. When we finish eating we have all that energy and we want to burn it but we well get in trouble if we play around.I also don't like the new lunch schedule because When I go to get my lunch I remember that it's switched so I have to go outside first and I get confussed.
