Would you rather have a three-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 three-day weekend every week or have an extra month of summer vacation, I would rather have a three-day weekend every week. If I had a three-day weekend instead of two 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 outweigh the benefits of an extra month of summer. I prefer having a three-day weekend rather than having another month of summer vacation.
If I had the choice to have an extra month of summer or a three day weekend, I would rather have an extra month of summer. If I had an extra month of summer I would have more time to do camps,more vacations,more relaxing, and more time to spend with my family and friends! I would also have a lot more time to go to my pool! However, some may prefer three day weekends because they could visit family. I think an extra month of summer would be a lot more fun,better, and relaxing! I prefer having an extra month of summer vacation rather than a three day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI think that I would choose a three-day weekend because it can save you more time to finish homework and spend time with your family. Also, there is less school and more weekend! Sadly, other people think that an extra month of Summer is better. I don't think that it is better because you can go on more trips and you have more time than one month of Summer because school lasts 10 months, and Summer lasts 2 months. I prefer a three-day weekend more than an extra month of Summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have one month longer summer than a 3 day weekend. If we had a longer summer that would make us have a shorter school year, and also if we had a 3 day weekend we would have more homework than we have on a two day weekend. I could also go on more trips and have a lot more time to play with all of my friends.We would also have more time to do all of the summer homework. But some people may think that having shorter weekend would mean more time to do homework, but you would have more homework instead. This is why I would have a longer summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend because you wouldn't get the sunday blues because there would be the extra day. You would get to stay up late on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday instead of having to go to bed early on Sundays. You would only have a 4 day school week. By the time your extra day was over you would be ready to go back to school.Although other people may argue that have an extra month of summer would be better but you would get all sad that month going back and would not be as happy as would with a three day weekend. Also you would have a longer break every week instead of once a year.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a extra month for the summer. You could go on more trips. You would also have less homework and more time to do it.Some would say but there is less school days, But summer you could have a really long break and on the weekends you only get a day extra. Some people also say that you could maybe do a short trip over the weekend since there is an extra day. Well that would have to be a very short trip because you would have to spend one day getting to the place then only have two days to spend on the trip. That's why I think that having an extra month in the summer is better.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a three day weekend because you would have less school every week. You would also have more time to get all you homework assignments done so you have more time to do what you want. Another reason why is because you can have more fun with more time and more relaxation. But some people may say that you get a shorter overall school time. And that is those are the reasons why we should have a extra day in the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a choice between an extra month of summer vacation and an extra day of the weekend I would choose... To have a three day weekend. If I had a three day weekend I would spend it relaxing and enjoying it with my family. Another reason why I chose it was because I never have time to do my homework. So if I had a three day weekend homework would be a breeze. Now, some may argue that if you had an extra month of summer is better, but think about it more homework over the summer! Yeah, I thought school was over. So that's why I think having a three day weekend is better than a month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have three day weekends instead of an extra month of summer vacation. I would choose it because there would be only four days of school instead of five. because over a whole school year, you get more than a month of weekends. However, some may argue that an extra month of summer vacation would be better because you could go on a longer trip to somewhere. that's why I would choose 3 day weekends.
ReplyDeleteIf I got to have either a three day weekend or an extra month of summer vacation I would choose a three day weekend. Here are my reasons why. Number one, I would have more time to do anything I wanted. Number two, eventually in the end all of the weekend would be more than an extra summer month. Finally, I could have more time to chill before school. Some people may say an extra month of summer would be nice because you could have more vacations and less school, but like I said before all the weekends would pay off. I think a three day weekend would be better for me because of having more time to relax, time to do anything, and having less days of school.
ReplyDeleteIf I could had a choice of the way my school would work I would chose to have an extra month of summer because I could travel more, go to camps for longer, and more time to spend at the pool. I also wouldn't have to wake up really early in the morning. I would be able to sleep in and have a bagel each morning then at 7:45 I would go to swim practice and then spend the rest of my day reading, swimming, and diving. However, others may argue that a three day weekend would be better because you would have a four day weekend on Good Friday. But then you would have to think about NOT having Summer Break where you're free for three months. Yes you would have homework over the Summer, but you wouldn't have to read 90 minutes over your 3 day weekend. As I said earlier, relax and have a four month vacation!!
ReplyDeleteIf I could have a three day weekend or an extra month of summer, I would rather have an extra month of summer. If I had an extra month of summer vacation I could have more time with all of my family because on the weekend somebody has a sport, a playdate, or some random activity, but if I have an extra month of summer nobody really has any activities except maybe a playdate or sleepover here or there. However some may argue that a three day weekend is better because you would only have a four days of school. or you could take a short trip to visit far away friends and family. However I prefer an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer because you get to be on a vacation longer! If you did 3 day weekend you can not travel.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have an extra month of summer then a three day weekend because mean you could go on more long trips and you could do more fun things. also my bday is in August so that would be in the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However some might like to have three day weekends because they think short trips are cool but you're in the 21st century people get up and get MORE SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extra month of summer is better people YAH MORE SUMMER!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would rather 3 day weekend then 1 more month of summer. first of all you would have more time to chill. second of all you could have a movie marathon thread of all you can go on two day trips. some people might pick 1 more month of summer but then if you pick 3 day week than you get 1 less day of school
ReplyDeleteWould you rather have an extra month of summer or a three-day weekend? I would have an extra month of summer because you could go on longer trips! Some may want a three day weekend but that would make me bored.I think that the more time you have, the more fun you have.

ReplyDeleteIf I was asked to choose between A 3 day weekend or an extra month of summer I would choose an extra month of summer.

Others might think that having a 3 day weekend is better because you can do more stuff I think that an extra month of summer is better than a 3 day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a 3 day weekend than have extra month of summer. I would get to have triple sleepovers. I would have more time with my family. I can play outside more. Others may think having a extra month of summer because we can get or 1000 minutes done quicker. So that's why I choose 3 day weekend over a extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI would chose a three day weekend then an extra month of summer. I would because it is like a three day vacation every week. You would have less school. Although people might pick extra month of summer because you could do more things in a month. That is why I pick 3 day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between a three day weekend or one extra month of summer I would choose a three day weekend. I would choose a three day weekend because I would have more time to do my homework I could relax more and I have more time to be at home and chill. However, Some people might rather have one more month of summer because you don't have school for another month ,but If you did have a three day weekend then you would only have four days of school. So I think having a three day weekend would be better.
ReplyDeleteIf I was asked to choose between a 3 day weekend or an extra month of summer, I would choose a 3 day weekend. I think it would be fun to hang out with your family and have Mondays off because Mondays are not fun to have on school days. However, it would be fun to have an extra month of summer vacation. You could relax, but I prefer a 3 day weekend.

ReplyDeleteI would rather have a 3 day weekend than a extra month of summer vacation. For example, you would only have 4 days in a school week. Next, you would get a 3 day weekend for the whole year and that is more than one more month of summer vacation. Finally, you would get to do some mini vacations and spend more time with family. Others may chose a extra month of summer vacation because they might want a longer vacation and nicer weather. But, I think a 3 day weekend is better... In conclusion, I would rather have a 3 day weekend rather than one month more of summer vacation.

ReplyDeleteIf I had to pick between a three day weekend or a extra month of summer break I would definitely pick a extra month. I would pick this because you get to see your friends more. You also don't have to rush everything you can just sit in the sun and relax. You can also have way longer vacations you could have a 4 month long vacation. Other people may say that having a 3 day weekend is better well I think it's not because you don't have to have the Sunday Blues. That is why I think having an extra month of summer break is better than a 3 day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between a three day weekend and an extra month of summer I would choose a three day weekend. If you had a three day weekend you could spend more time relaxing and having fun. There would only be four days of school and that would mean only three days of homework. However some argue that if you had an extra month of summer you spend more time going to camps and having fun with your friends but if you think about it, three day weekend is the right way to go.
ReplyDeleteI would choose a three day weekend because if you do the math it equals a longer time of no school. Although some may say that an extra month of summer is better because you could stay on trips longer. But I would just go on 2 day trips. Go three day weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between three days off of school on the weekends or an extra month of summer, It would have to be more summer. Although when you have more weekend time you get homework done, more relaxing time, and less school days, just think about it! More summer is better! First, you get one less month of school! Less time for work, More time for play! Second, you get more time to be free! More do-nothing days! More outdoor activities! More everything! I wouldn't want more days of the weekend because I feel like it would throw things off balance. I always have had two days off and not three! But I don't care about more summer. It's a time to just see how things turn out. If it came down to more weekend time or more summer, then summer would win!
ReplyDeleteIf I could have a three day weekend or an extra month of summer I would choose a three day weekend. My reasons why is that you could have more time to do your homework. You also could have more time to relax and do things you like. Lastly, you could have less school.
ReplyDeleteHowever, some people may argue that an extra month of summer would be better. But, when you have a three day weekend you only have 4 days of school which means less homework. But if you do have more homework you have more time to do it.
So having a three day weekend to do the things you want would be better.
I would rather choose an extra month of summer over a three day weekend. I think it would be cool to have an extra month of summer. Half the summer I could relax and go swimming and the other half I could go on a really long trip to a cool place.I would have more time to play outside with my friends. Also if we have an extra month of break than we have less school. However some people may prefer a three day long weekend because you can go on short trips every weekend.I think a longer break is better than longer weekends. I prefer a long break over a three day weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf I had to choose between a 3 day weekend or an extra month of summer, I would choose a 3 day weekend. First, you can go for short trips. Second, you can do your homework 2 days, and still have another day. Finally, you can sleep in 2 times. Some might say that having an extra month of summer because you can swim longer. I think summer is just right. That's why I think 3 days on the weekend is better than having an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteIf I could pick to have an extra day during the weekend or to have an extra month of summer vacation, I would pick an extra day during the weekend. First, I could still have summer vacation. Second, I could have more time for doing my homework. Finally, I could play sports more. On the other hand, I can see how people would like an extra month of summer vacation. You could go on fun trips, have more time for homework, and not have school. Even though another month of summer vacation sounds fun, I would still pick an extra day during the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI would take an extra month of summer because I have more time to relax from baseball. So I would only have it on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. [I don't count the weekends] Some people might say a three day weekend because they get to relax, but not for me every spring I'm booked on the weekend because of baseball. So in conclusion I would have a extra month than a three day weekend.
