Weekend starting May 9, 2008

It is a hockey night in Pittsburgh!!! I know what you are thinking....What does that mean me?

If you are not a hockey fan, then it doesn't really mean too much to you. I am a BIG TIME hockey fan. Especially for my Pittsburgh Penguins. Do you know who they are playing in the Eastern Conference Championship? If and WHEN the Penguins make it to the Finals, what do they win? Also, what are the Finals called? (those aren't blog questions, but if you can give me the answers...CANDY may be involved with your reward)

What did we do today?

6th grade- We took a Spelling Quiz on the Unit # 2 words and then played some HANGMAN.

8th grade-We also took a Spelling Quiz on the same Unit #2 words and then we watched part of a CULTURALLY stimulating movie, DANCE WITH ME. I was hoping that you learned some new moves to show on the dance floor for your dance tonight!!!

Learn anything new?

7th grade-Today we took the Barrio Boy Test. Then, since the movie was so awesome and I am so excited for my hockey game tonight....we also watched the movie. Did you happen to notice the cultural differences from Rafael's home in Cuba to when he moved to Texas? It ties in partially to the story. Look forward to a lesson on transition words and traditions next week.

Back to hockey...why do you think the uniform jersey or shirt is called a "SWEATER"?

Without further ado....your blog question for the weekend..I wanted to give you a hockey question, but I couldn't think of anything REALLY good. Instead, I went the way of an expression in the good old English language....

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN SOMEONE SAYS...."I CAN SEE THE WRITING ON THE WALL"? IS THERE WRITING REALLY ON THE WALL?

YOUR TASK, SHOULD YOU ACCEPT.....TELL ME WHAT THAT PHRASE MEANS. ONCE AGAIN FULL SHEET OF PAPER AND I'M LOOKING FOR COMPLETE SENTENCES IN YOUR DESCRIPTION.

Have a great weekend!!!
