April 22 Journal

Hi. Mr. Sartain is not here today, so I am subbing in the office. Please be on your best behavior- I have the webcam set up.

Today we have a few things to get done. First, you must finish your "Special Day" essay. If it is not done by the end of today a zero will be issued. Second, work in Study Island and get those blue ribbons! Don't forget you should be using your notebooks for notes and use the word wall. Third, you have a poem to work on today. The poem is due on Thursday. It must be posted on the blog for credit. All the directions for the poem are on the link under this posting.

Remember to behave since I would be the person processing your referral today.

    you will end up with more pennies
    every day.I do agree with this
    because by the end of the year you will have earned more money then you started out with.For earth day you can:
    * Plant a tree
    * Recycle
    * Dont litter
    * use as less energy as possibly possible.

  44. Sadness

    I saw sadness clearly
    In peoples faces
    waiting to be pleased
    I saw her sad face
    her eyes and pale skin
    I herd her saying sad things
    and she made me sad to.
