Wharton, NJ 07885 March 1, 2011 Mr.Bocchino 137 East Central Ave. Wharton, New Jersey Dear Mr.Bocchino,  I have heard about TERRIBLE problem in this school, they have said they are going to take Walk Two Moons off the 7th grade curriculum. THEY CAN’T DO THAT, But why? Here are some of my reasons; my first reason is a lot of kids really love this book. After reading this book I have noticed that many kids really like this book because it’s really exciting and there are strong situations Phoebe and Sal get in. So if this book is so appealing to the seventh graders it can really keep them focused on the book and improves their reading skill. Furthermore, while I was reading this book I noticed my teachers gave me a lot of quizzes, tests, worksheets and many more tasks based on this book, so if our teachers based so many tasks on this, they were extremely easy, this is because the whole class read the book together. So basing tasks off this book can boost some people’s grade up easily. Finally my last reason, I have noticed that while I’m sitting in class and the teacher tells us to do bookwork I immediately get bored and don’t want to do it so if that happens I wont focus properly and get off task. I’m sure a lot of kids do this but with a book like Walk Two Moons which is an action-packed, keeps you guessing book, the kids will be drawn to the book the more they read the more they will want to read. That’s what’s great about this book; it has tons of action and plenty of cliffhangers that keep you guessing which will be exciting to a child. Therefore Walk Two Moons shouldn’t be taking off the curriculum because; Kids love this book. You can base a lot of tasks off this book, It’s better than bookwork. So hopefully you follow my advice and keep this great book on the curriculum. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Duvan Ospina


 * December 18,2012.Its just a normal day in Wharton just playing in the snow with my friends. Anthony says "The worlds going to end in 3 days!" **
 * "NO ITS NOT!" Mateo shouts **
 * "Face it Mateo its going to happen." Mateo stayed in silence as the day went on.After it got dark out it was time for us to all go home.When I got home my mom was watching the news......."Here in California we might be experiencing a huge wind storm" the news reporter said. I didn't really care, so i went upstairs,laid in bed and went to sleep. December 19,2012. Today was an extremely cold day, way colder than usual but I payed no attention to it. I looked out my window and it was a huge blizzard,there was snow flying everywhere, the wind was howling, the snow was piled up 3 feet tall. To my mom this was strange but to me it was a great day to go out. So me being me I called Mateo to tell him to go outside, "WOW! The snow is crazy out there!" Mateo exclaimed."Indeed it is" I replied. only a couple minutes later I heard knock on my door, I ran to my door in my big puffy pants and saw Mateo standing there. As i open my door I shouted "BYE MOM!" I shut the door and I jumped into the bright white fluffy coldness. "I told Anthony to come" Mateo said. "K!" I shouted while being lost in all the snow. Through all the snow flying in the and the snow that Mateo was throwing everywhere i saw Anthony. "HEY GUYS!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. Mateo turned his head and waved and immediately continued playing.When Anthony finally got to us he poked Mateo and said two more days to go. "listen i don't care what you think is going to happen so**
