Letters to our future selves (Self of 2023)

       Today we wrote letters that were sealed in envelopes. They will be kept here at the school until the year 2023 when they will be given back to us prior to graduating from high school. The letters are filled with our memories from Elementary School. How much joy will these letters bring as we read them in 2023? We will have to wait to find the answer to that question.

It's time to read our Cliffhangers.

      We will be practicing our public speaking skills over the next few school days as we read our stories with the microphone in front of the class.

You smoke....

....you choke....you croak.


Today we had our Teens Against Tobacco Day.

Cliffhangers are due: Thursday, May 11th

       Let's work hard in class to create fine endings to these short stories. On Thursday, we will use the microphone to read some of these in front of the class.

Why I Won't Smoke

   Informative essay is due tomorrow. Make sure you have an introduction, body, and a conclusion. More details are better than few details.

Remember what Hunter T. said today in school.

"Why pay money to kill yourself?"
