I am here to encourage YOU to be a good writer! It's so simple if you keep these great habits in mind:

1. Read, read, read!-- It helps you to learn how easy it can be to write and gives you ideas! (Remember, it has to be YOUR own writing though, no plagiarism!)

2. Now write, write, write! Let YOUR pencil "talk" for YOU! Just start writing, and "say" whatever comes into YOUR mind. Later YOU can revise YOUR masterpiece until YOU have written it to YOUR liking!

3. Look around YOU! Start big, and write what you see. Then try writing smaller.... not as in small print, but write just about one thing YOU see. Can YOU describe how it feels, looks, smells, sounds, or tastes? Focusing on one small part with great detail will help YOU become a better writer!

Do YOU love words? Do YOU want to improve YOUR vocabulary? Ask someone to have a friendly game of Scrabble with YOU! It's so much fun to try to make words with only the tiles YOU see!

Passover is an 8 day commemoration of the Biblical story of Exodus when the Jewish people escaped persecution from the Pharaoh. Because the Jews had to leave in such a hurry, their bread dough did not have time to rise. Now, this holiday is celebrated with a feast which includes matzah, an unleavened or flatbread. Here is a recipe so YOU can try it.https://leitesculinaria.com/84910/recipes-homemade-matzoh.html#recipe

Good Friday is celebrated in the Christian faith and commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It falls on the Friday before Easter each year. Many of the Christian faith will celebrate by fasting, attending church services, or spend the day in meditative reflection. Here are some other ways Christians around the world celebrate Good Friday:

• El Salvador – Artists create alfombra de asserin (sawdust rugs) using colored sawdust. The artwork depicts a variety of scenes or patterns in honor of Good Friday.
• London – Reenacts the crucifixion as a passion play. The performance is free to the public.
• Ireland – Eggs are marked with a holy cross and are then eaten on Easter Sunday.
• Israel – Christians walk in Jesus’s footsteps in Jerusalem where he was crucified.

Easter is the most important holiday in the Christian faith as that is when Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Eggs are a symbol of rebirth and fertility dating back thousands of years across many cultures. But why an Easter bunny then? Well, immigrants, who settled in the Dutch Pennsylvania countryside, brought the tradition of the Osterhase or Easter Hare who would lay its colorful eggs in nests prepared by children, to the United States in the 18th-century. This is why many children will hunt for colored eggs and take pictures with the Easter Bunny to celebrate each year!
