Hello Everybody!
Whoa! Two more days? It can't be! "Time flies when you're having fun." What kind of figurative language it that?
1. Your lockers are clean. Everything (all your stuff) is at home. 2. Has EVERYONE brought the $1.00 for report card mailing? 3. No bus notes tomorrow and Friday. 4. All PE clothes, instruments, and art work go home tomorrow.
Puh-leezz! Look for my missing Visions B textbook (B-8).
See you in the morning. Don't forget; you should still be reading daily.
Hello Everybody!
Guess what? No questions. 8th graders, you have the science and "reading" finals tomorrow. 7th graders, clean out your lockers and take home all your "stuff." 6th graders, you can just "chill."
Hello Everybody!
Wow! Can you believe only 4 more days? I noticed that I have three students who have not taken a May AR test. Are you one? (If so, your name is on the board.)
Remember 7th graders to clean out your lockers tomorrow. 6th and 8th graders will do the same on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday all of you will need only your agenda and a pencil or pen. (Actually I am only guessing about the agenda--check with your homeroom teacher.)
Ivy Hsu is leaving for China tomorrow. Ivy, have a wonderful summer and don't forget to read every day in English.
Study hard, 8th graders, but don't be sleep deprived for finals. That doesn't help your grades.
See you tomorrow.
Can you think of a metaphor to go with this picture?

Hello Everybody!
Nice job on the tongue-twisters! I will add another one or two at the bottom of this post.
Tomorrow will be a short skill lesson and then you will have a read day. On Friday you will take a vocabulary quiz after I check the reading log.
According to the Guiness Book of World Records, this is officially the 'World's Hardest Tongue Twister'. It just goes to show that sometimes the ones looking the most simple are often indeed the best.
The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.
(Not a real sheik
)

'Round and 'round the rugged rock, the ragged rascal ran.
Point question: Why did I put an appostrophe before the word round?
