Let us...

For Mr.Lawrence let us pray

let us pray in unison, when we are so divided by his loss

let us be strong together when he is gone 

let us remember that he showed no signs of weakness 

let us remember

Let us remember the good times we've had

making shakespeare movies and learning grammar

Let us remember to not repeat the let us remember phrase so many times

Let us be the students of John

Let us be not just remember

Let us be all that he has taught 

about life skills 

humane treatings of each other

Let us be his teachings on Earth.

And meet him when die with open arms 

and  let us have a seat next to him in heaven 

where a perfect chicken breast waits.

Let us be ......all that we can be! 

 

If Mr.Lawrence Could Read These...What Would You Say?

Sometimes it helps just to think that Mr.Lawrence still walks this earth watching over us, always giving us little hints to figure out problems. By no means am I very religious but I prayed and continue to pray for the happiness of Mr.Lawrence and his family. I'm posting this because I am fairly sure only Jen and maybe a few others will ever see it. So The idea of this is either to write down prayers or just things you would want to say to Mr.Lawrence. It may seem silly but who knows, maybe there is another world and he can watch from above.

John Lawrence: A Memorial

As most of you should know, Mr. Lawrence passed away yesterday (October 9th). Calling hours, I believe, are sometime on Monday (TBA), and the service would be on Tuesday (time, TBA).

Here, you can post anything you would like to say to Mr. Lawrence, and you may post as many times as you feel is necessary. He was a wonderful teacher, friend, and role model for all of us, and he will never be forgotten.

You will always have a special place in all of our hearts, Mr. Lawrence; I'm glad I got to know you.

Who Still Comes to Visit Our Blog?

Hey everybody! I hope all of your summers are going swimmingly (hee hee, no pun intended, really!), and I can't wait to see most all of you again pretty soon!

I was curious as to whom, besides myself, still comes to this blog to post or even just see what's new. If you could, when you come by, just pop on here and say hi or something in a comment, if you would, please. You can do it every time you come to the blog, or you can do it just once (or once in a while). I thought it would be interesting to see who still keeps up and interested in our class blog.

See you very soon! Ciao for now!

How Many Words Can You Make?

Let's see how witty you really are...

How many different words can you make using only the letters (each one only once per word) in the word Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious .

Again, each letter in supercalifragilisticexpialidocious can only be used once in any one word you make out of it. For example, you can make the word "delicious" because the letters d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u and s are all in supercalifragilisticexpialidocious at least the same number of times as they are used in delicious. On the other hand, I could not make the word "puppies" because the letter p appears only twice in supercali...bla-bla-bla (you know what I mean...), not thrice [three times].

Those are the rules/examples/my version of shorthand. Have fun!
See who can make the longest word? The most exotic word? The funniest word? Go for the gold... or the black text... whichever... Go have a blast with it! =^)

Riddles!

I have a riddle for you, ready or not;
Think a little bit, think a lot.
Find the answer, make your guess;
I'm sure you'll get it, more or less.
Solve one riddle, I'll give you more;
See what riddles I have in store.
***
See if you can solve my riddles. You have one to start with (my first post/comment), and when that one is answered, I'll give you another! If you think you have the answer, make a guess; I'll let you know if you got it right or not. Have fun!

Whizz-Bang - A Fun English-Related Word Game

This is one of my favorite e-mail games. It's called Whizz-Bang (as you can see), and this is how you play.
First you start off with a word; say, "bank", for example. On each turn, you can make ONE alteration. You can swap a letter (ex. make "sank"), drop a letter (ex. make "ban"), trade letter places/ move a letter (ex. make "pot" from "top", or "stank" from "tanks"), or add a letter (ex. make "blank").

In the case where there is absolutely NO valid word in the universe (i.e. not one you just made up, solely for the sake of being a doofus) left to use, start over with another good word. Please, just don't go and do that randomly when you can still make words. If you really want to keep it up, use a dictionary or Google or something (bad punctuation/grammar, I noticed). Oh, and of course, use your judgement in the words you use/make. Let's keep it appropriate, please.

Thanks, and have fun!
