¡Period 5's Funkadelic Scribe April 17th!

Hello, kiddos, I am pleased to announce that today none other than I, the absolutely superawesometastic master of all the universe Tom, shall be scribing for you!

Don't get too excited. Nah, I'm kidding. GET VERY EXCITED!!!!

Today Smith wore a fabulous black ensemble, very fashionable and oh-so chic, with a white belt of some sort, presumably representing her skill as a karate master in the forests of Brazil. It was in this outfit that we were informed that tomorrow (Wednesday in layman's terms) all children shall report to the Library Computer Lab for MAP testing, hooray! We must try our very hardest, or else the consequences shall be most dire. We were also kindly reminded that to get full points on fishbowls, we must have five comments of QUALITY, not quantity. Let's get this party started. Final in the stunning series of reminders was that we must read a lot this week for fishbowls on Thursday and Friday, so if you haven't started, then stop reading this blog this instant and go pick up a book, you lazy bum.

This was in preparation for an activity so absolutely wonderful our feeble brains could not comprehend it: translation of the speeches you found last night into Newspeak! Many cheers of unbridled enthusiasm were heard all round at this announcement. At this point we scattered into groups of three or four and proceeded to be little busy bees up until the bell, when unfortunately we had to depart to continue other scholarly pursuits. We bid a fond farewell to Smith's classroom. I'd be willing to bet a few tears were shed as well.

Our homework for the future:

• Do Grammar Sections, through 16.
  
• Read pg. 167-225 for Thursday and through 274 for Friday!
• Work on that semester project doohickey (yes, THAT one)

Remember, period 2, it's okay if you can't keep up to our high standards. We understand.

UNTIL TOMORROW!

Your palster,
Tom
