Earrings by Judith Viorst

This week we talked about writing a persuasive letter. Our teacher read a book to us called Earrings. A little girl is trying to persuade her parents to let her get her ears pierced. She promises to be nice to her brother, have better posture, clean up her room, walk the dog for a year, and read a book every week. She thinks she needs earrings because everyone else has them, and it will make her look and feel good.

We learned that we don't always get what we want.

You should read this book to find out if the little girl gets her ears pierced.

Have a great weekend!
