I am looking forward to going to Montreal and joining sports teams.
Yeah, I’m so excited for Montreal and being the oldest in the school!!!
Yeah and hailey11 the smiley face isn’t working for me so…. how do you do it???
Too bad we need to wait all year for the Montreal trip though.
yo….eat a steak….yo….
Thanks for the compliment about Olga da Polga.
I will really try to come to intramurals but I had a very busy day today with the Mount Everest presentation. Let me know when we play again and I’ll do my very best to be there.
If you leave a space before and after the smiley face symbol, it will work. I edited some on my computer and they are showing up now.
I am looking forward to Montreal.
I am looking forward to trying out for all the sports teams and I am pumped for Montreal!
I’am excited for track and Montreal!:P
Montreal should turn out to be the funnest school trip yet! I think this year will hold many fun times and new experiences I’m looking forward to a great year!
I’m really looking forward to joining some of the school sports and getting to know some people in my class! Can’t wait for Montreal.
Thanks, Mme. I didn’t know how to do that smiley face thing and now I do!!
I’m looking forward to Montreal and all of the intramurals.
I’m hoping to get to counties for shot put this year. I’m also going to try out for volleyball green team, and possibly the basketball team. I wish we had a guys soccer team this year though. I think this will be a fun year!
I’m looking forward to being the oldest in the school. I remember when I was younger, I would look at those “cool” grade 8’s. Thinking how I’d love to be just like them when I’m older. I think it’s really cool the be those role models now. Also, I can’t wait for Montreal! It is going to be AMAZING! I’m gonna try to get more involved in school activities this year. I’m already on athletic council and students council, but I’d love to make it on some sports teams as well!
This is gonna be an amazing year!!!
I’m looking foward to Montreal (did I spell that right?) I really want to make lots of school teams! Our class is so awesome, we’re going to have a blast this year.
I am hoping to get to counties for the 400m and running long jump. I also will try out for all sports teams and i hope to win athlete of the year!I hope it will be a fun year.
This blogging thing is kind of fun
How do you get the little smiley face?
Never mind I figured it out
I can’t wait until Montreal!
lol I think this year will be LOTS of fun!
I agree with “Cassi” (remember, confidentiality is the key)! This blogging thing is actually pretty fun. It’s a good excuse to go on the computer, cause all you need to say is “Mom, I need the computer to do homework.” Then right away the computer is all mine! Muwhaha! Anyways, see ya’ll tomorrow
Hehe
That’s what I say too…. ” I need the computer for homework!” Lol
You guys are funny. I had to wrestle my brother for the computer
This blogging thing is pretty cool!
Good job 8-2 in soccer today!!
and thanks Mme for coming out!!!
I had so much fun at intramurals too!!! Bridget wants to say hi everyone and she’s jealous of how cool this is
Do the other classes not have to do the blogging thing???
Nope. We are the only class
cause’ we are special!
WOOT!
I can’t wait for the Montreal trip. I think it will be the best trip of the year. I made the football team!
I am also looking forward to the next book we are reading after Peak.
What are we reading after Peak?
I am looking forward to Montreal and Arts Night! Plus many other things
I’m not sure what we will read after Peak – probably something about the second world war as I have some speakers lined up to talk to you about their experiences during the holocaust.
Sounds cool! The speakers about the holocaust should be intriguing!
AHAHA! Seems like everyone is signed up in the blogging thing now! This is fun!
There are still people alive from the holocaust! Wasn’t that in like 1950? I guess if they were young that kinda makes sense. :O
That sounds so cool – speakers. I wonder if some of them were from the war and experientially lived in them!!!
That would be so cool! It would be very interesting to hear their stories!!!
The speakers are all holocaust survivors – some were hidden children, others spent time in concentration camps. I am applying to get some of these speakers to come to our school. We’ll do a World War II unit first so we have some background information and will be able to make connections – just like in our lesson today. So keep your fingers crossed – hopefully we’ll be able to get these speakers!
I sure hope we can!!!
The best thing will be to hear their stories and feel what they felt.
I am glad that you got your account working, soccerref2!
I think it will be really fascinating to read another book on the second world war.
I think that maybe we should have a topic on this blog for book recommendations
That would be interesting.
Montreal sounds really great :]
That sounds like a good idea!! (the book…)
I really don’t want to get those shots but, I must!
Anyone looking forward to those shots? (I’m asking the girls.
)
I am absolutely horrified about getting the shot!!!!!!! I am really scared of needles, but I have to get it.
So far, I love this site – it’s so cool!!! I can’t wait to go to Montreal.
I got it a while ago, so I don’t need to get it (whew). Don’t ask me about the experience.
We guys don’t need the needle, lucky us !!!
But I’m not scared of a little needle anyways.
Don’t worry girls, needles only hurt a little bit .
By the way, our relay team is gonna kick …..
You got that right ’sanfransiscotothemets’!!!
:p
I’M PETRIFIED FOR THE NEEDLE but the rest of the day will be good, hopefully. It will probably hurt alot. Anyone else agree?
YOU guys are lucky you don’t have to get the needle!!!!
We’ll see you tomorrow.
It’s Rainbow Day tomorrow! Yahoo!
Aw
Thanks for the little bit of confidence about the needle sanfransiscotothemets
And iloveflicka101 the shot wasn’t that bad was it?
The shot only hurt a bit! But isn’t there like 2 more to come!?!?!?!
Ahhhh! School dance tomorrow!
hahaha Sort of random….?
Th funny thing is that we got the shot like a month ago and we’re still talking about it. I’m so pumped for the dance tomorrow
I’m pumped for Montreal
!!!!!!
