Would you rather have a 3-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation?
I cannot wait to see what you will write!
Your teacher,
Ms. B
P.S.-Here is my example:
If I had the choice to have a 3-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would rather have a 3-day weekend every week. If I had a 3-day weekend instead of 2 days, I would get a lot more done! In addition, I would not have to work as much, and I could spend more time working out, shopping, reading, relaxing, and hanging out with my friends. Plus, I would not feel so rushed on my weekends. I could even go out of town for long weekends and visit family and friends! However, some may prefer an extra month of summer vacation because they could take longer trips. I think the benefits of longer weekends out weigh the benefits of an extra month of summer. I prefer having a 3-day weekend rather than having another month of summer vacation.
I would rather have an extra month of summer. Reason 1. I would get more time to spend at the pool cooling off. 2. I would get to go on more and longer trips to places. 3 I would get more time off of school to do what I want to do. Others may argue that a 3 day weekend is better because you only have to go to school 4 days a week but I think another month of vacation is better. I would rather have another month of summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice to have a 3-day weekend every weekend or have an extra month added to summer vacation, I would rather have a extra month added to summer vacation.If I had an extra month I would have a longer time to do my one thousand minutes whic. I hate.In addition I would also have longer traveling time.However,some may prefer to have longer weekends because they would have longer to do their weekend homework.I think an extra month of summer is better than a longer weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice of having a 3-day weekend every week or one month more of summer vacation,Then I would have one extra month of summer vacation.If I had one more month of summer then I would get more pool time.Also I would get to play more Xbox and hang out with my friends more.My last resaon is that you could have longer vacations and you could go farther away.However, some may argue that having a 3-day weekend is better because you get to sleep in one extra day on the weekend.I prefer having one extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice oh a whole extra month of summer or a 3 day weekend, I would choose to have 3 day week end. I would rather have a three day weekend because you could have less school work. Also you could take trips to do something special. And lastly You wouldn't have to worry about homework on the first day. Although I would want to have longer weekends some may argue that a extra month of summer is better for example, you could have a longer trip out of town. I think a longer weekend is better to have than a whole extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice of a 3 day weekend or a extra month of summer vacation I would choose the 3 day weekend because it seems like the weekends go by so fast but with a extra day out of the week it is 1/3 slower than it usually is. Also, if you think about there are 52 weeks in a year so that would be 52 extra days on the weekend but subtract summer it would be about 38 days of the weekend. But on summer vacation it would only be a extra 30 days. Some people think a month of extra summer would be better because you can spend more time at the pool and beach but with a extra day of the weekend you can actually see family more on the weekends and do longer trips on the weekends. That is why I would choose a 3 day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose between having a 3-day weekend and an extra month of summer vacation I would choose a 3-day weekend.One reason why is you could sleep in at least 2 days that week.My second reason is you could have a friend spend the night 2 nights.My third and final reason for a three day weekend is I could spend more time with my dad on weekends.I would rather have a three day weekend ,however some people might want to have an extra month of summer so they can have the pool open longer,but a three day weekend means more sport games.These are some reasons why I think we should have a three day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI rather have a three day weekend every week than a extra month of summer.A three day weekend would give me more time to have fun and relax,also it wouldn't make you feel rushed on Sunday's like I usually do.If we had a three day weekend it would mean less school which means less stress and work.A three day weekend would be better because if you wanted to have a double sleepover and some time with family you would need an extra day.However,some may prefer an a extra month so they can have more time to play during Summer not the school year.In my opinion I think you can still have fun and play longer than a normal with a three day weekend,it all balances out! In conclusion I think I would rather have a three day weekend than an extra month of Summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a extra month of summer rather than three day weekends. I would rather have an extra month of summer because one, I would have more time to play with my friends that I only get to see in the summer. Two, it rains so much less in the summer than in the school year when I could be playing with my friends. Three, you may not be able to have as many sleepover because you have so much homework but in the summer you have all that time to complete it!!! Some may argue that having a three day weekend is better bye saying that you would only have for days of school a week but to me that is just the same a five. Having a three day weekend would be ok, but having an extra month of summer would be the BEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice of a 3-day weekend or an extra month of summer, I would choose to have a 3-day weekend. A reason I chose this is because I would get to have more free time. Another reason is because I would get to play more basketball games. One more reason is because I could sleep in. However, some people may argue that having an extra month of summer is better because you don't have as much school. I think that having a 3-day weekend is better because you get to have free time but you still have school. I prefer have a 3-day weekend than having an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to have a 3 day weekend or an extra month of summer vacation.I would choose an extra month of summer vacation.For example, if you wanted to go to a water park or theme park you may be able to spend more time there.Also if you wanted to go on a trip it doesn't have to be rushed. however some may prefer a 3 day weekend for example if some people hate Mondays you could sleep in.Also you could have a day to do anything you want like...... Shopping,swimming,hanging out with friends or even watching t.v. I think that they would balance out either way. I would prefer a extra month of summer vacation
ReplyDeleteIf I could choose ether having a 3-day weekend every week or having an extra month of summer, I would choose having an extra month of summer. I would choose an extra month of summer because I can go to the pool more, hang out with my friends more, go on longer vacations, and do more things. Also, I can go to sleep away camp for longer times without wasting half of my summer. Another reason I choose that is because a can relax for a longer time. However, other people might pick 3-day weekends instead because they might feel rushed having 2-day weekends. I choose having an extra month of summer then 3-day weekends.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice of a 3-day weekend or an extra month of summer, I would choose to have a 3-day weekend. I would choose that because adding on another day of weekend and deleting a day of school is more then a month of no school. Also on a 3-day weekend you can do more and go on trips. Another reason that would choose a 3-day weekend is because you could throw a party and have time to plan it. Some may argue that having and extra monthe of summer is better because it gives you more time to finish your summer school work. Another reason some may argue that having an extra month of summer is better is because you would probably get more homwork over the weekends. I think benefits of a longer weekend out do and extra month of summer. I prefer having a 3-day weekend rather then and extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice a extra day for the weekend of a extra month of summer I would choose a three day weekend. I would chose a three day weekend because you could have more sleepovers and it evens out to about 9 more days of the extra weekend then a month more of summer. There would also be less school. You could also take short vacations on the weekend. Some people would say that a month more of school is better because summer camps would be open longer. That is why I think there should be a extra day in the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice of would I rather have a three day weekend or an extra month of summer,I would choose a three day weekend.I would choose that because everybody hates Mondays because you were having so much fun over the weekend,and now you have to come back to school.Also if you play a sport and you have tournaments every weekend,maybe you would like to play sports for a longer period of time.Lastly you can hang out with some of your friends an extra day.However,some people would prefer an extra month of summer because they would be able to be play around and not be rushed to go somewhere,and over the weekend though they are having fun with an extra day of the weekend,they know that they will have to go back to school.I still think that having a three day weekend is better than having an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice between a 3-day weekend and a extra month of summer I would choose a 3-day weekend. I would choose a three day weekend because I could have 3 sleepovers with friends. I could also stay 2 nights at my farm without waking up at 5 am to drive back. I would also like a three day weekend because then I wouldn't be rushed to do weekend stuff. On the other hand some people would prefer an extra month of summer so they could go on a month long trip. I think that having a three day weekend would be better than an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have a 3-day weekend or one extra month of summer I would take the 3-day weekend. I would chose the 3-day weekend because I could Have a longer time to play with my friends or watch T-V. I thing that it would be better to have a 3-day weekend then one more month of summer because I could have a 3-day weekend for the rest of the school year. Plus I could Have more time to finsh home work. Thoes are my three reasons why I would have a 3-day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a 3-day weekend every week then have an extra month of summer. I would rather have a 3-day weekend every week because it school would feel shorter because there would only be 4 days of school a week. Also because it means that there would be more dessert days. I could also have more time to hang out with my friends on the weekend, because people don't travel as much on the weekend. Some might argue that a month is longer than one extra day every week, but it's not because there are a lot of weekends in school. That is why I want a 3-day weekend every week.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have a choice I would have a 3 day weekend, rather than an extra mouth of summer here are my reasons why, I can see my friends more on the weekend, Also you still get to have summer but not an extra month and you get the 3 day weekend. Also if you have 3 day weekends you will only have 4 days rather than 5 days of school every single week. Although some may argue it is better to have extra month of summer but I disagree because If you have an extra month of summer your going to get bored. That is why I say I would rather have a 3 day weekend than an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI would want a three-day weekend instead of an extra month of summer. I want that because all of the extra weekend days combined would be more than a month of extra summer. However, some may want an extra month of summer, but then you will just go to camp again for a month. That is why I chose what I chose.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose a 3 day weekend, or a extra month of summer vacation I would choose a 3 day weekend. I would choose this, because you have more time to visit family. Also I would have more times for sleepovers, and activities with friends. My third reason is you get to sleep, read, and play more. My final reason is you have more time to complete extra school work. However,some people may want a extra month of summer, because they might like going to the pool. Also some people may want a extra month of summer ,because they like hot weather.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice of a 3-day weekend every week or an extra month of summer, I would rather have a 3-day weekend every week because you get to have a longer weekend, and there would only be four days of school. A 3-day weekend shortens the school year!You almost get to have more days off the weekend than the school weekend! The weekend's 3 days long and a school week would be 4 days. The weekend would only be 1 day shorter than the school weekend. you would also get to stay up late longer. That my friends is why I chose a 3-day weekend for the whole school year.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the choice to have a three day weekend or a extra month of summer I would choose a 3-day weekend. I chose 3-day weekend because every week of school you'd only have school on Tuesday through Friday, and that would be totally awesome. Although some people may argue that extra month of summer vacation is better, but it's not 3-day weekend is better because you would sleep in more. That's why I chose 3-day weekend!!!!
