Hi Mr. Allen
I have a question about the page for you'll never walk alone. Can we make a 'Lyrics' page?
eRiN
P.S. I like the native american project so far, it's fun!! :-D
 

Great Idea. You send them, I'll post them.

Glad you're having fun!

Mr. A.

 

I am sending this messeage SECONDS after Javier Zanetti leveled it for Inter against Roma.Keeping Inter Milan's not-loseing streak from April. Wow. I got home just in time to see it.

Mike S.

Hmm. Maybe they are a bit rattled. A last gasp save of game will, unfortunately, be good for their confidence!

Mr. A.
 

Hey Mr.Allen,
I have nothing to do, so I'm writing to you. I have the song Secret playing and i have a question. You know where it has one person singing and one person doing the harmony? who are those people? Just wanted to see if you know.
  

    Reyna. (not spaztastic(not the right way to spell it, I know.))

P.S. I got my year book (two words?yearbook?) page done!!!!!!!!

P.S.S. I don't care what you say, I am still adding S's (wow, that looks... different)-P.S.S..

 

I think it was Charlotte and Erin.

Mr. A.
 

Three things about penalties.

1. Chipping penalties is the new thing.

2. That stuttering Portuguess run up that almost every player on the Portugal national team uses, is cool.

3. England have NEVER won a penalty shootout in the world cup.

That is all, Mike S.

 

New thing? I don't think so!

Mr. A.


Hi Mike,
Out of no where I felt like writing.
Ok, Bye
Lian

 

Hey, Golden Heart! How's it going?

mike
 

 

Hey Mr.Allen,
It's Reyna and I just had a few questions. My first one is I was looking through a book and I was looking for the native american tribe, the Haida. But it said on a little map that the Haida are off the coast of N.W. Canada. and you said that it was in California!~! My second question is why didn't you answer my question on how you would end the Amber Spyglass?. My last question is how was the Juve game? I wasn't able to see it! :~(  And yes Michael, I do have access to FOX soccer.  

                   ♫•reyna•♫

1. You misunderstood. You were worried that there wasn't enough info. on the Haida. I said you can study the general region, iincluding California, if you want.

2. Why? Are you telling me that you understood the last 200 pages of that book?

3. I didn't see it. I don't follow 'Serie A', to be honest - it's all the Premiership for me - not enough time to follow even that as much as I would like!

Mr. A.
 

 

Monday, February 25th

 

Are we having practice tomorrow?
Sincerely,
Rachel the Amazing Older Sister
p.s. The twin's b-day is today!
p.p.s. We got back from Florida at one in the morning!

Yes, in theory!

Hopefully, see you all tomorrow.

mike
 

 

Mr. Allen,
How would you know if you won the JUNIOR RANGER ESSAY CONTEST thingie? And how do we get to the place where they read it?
KaThRyN

Follow the link on the 'What's New' page. Everything you need to know is there.

Mr. A.
 

 

hey mr allen its devin just seeing whats up around here.
DeViN nEwElL

Not much.

Mr. A.
 

 

Mr.allen,
Have you read the Invention of Hugo Cabret? And also, what the heck are those gray things that look like lungs that have lung cancer? (On the teacher planning page.)
Kathryn

I'm struggling to finish it - there are other books I'm reading that are more compelling for me. I've no idea about the lung thing, except there are pictures up there from the Space Project days, so that's a clue, I guess.

Mr. A.
 

 

http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/2579/1963628uj6.jpg

Sorry, couldent hyper link it.

Ouch, that is bad. I watched the Newcastle vs Man U game. That 2nd Ronaldo goal looked like Inzaghi's goal against Liverpool.

Spurs won first major trophey since 1999.


Oh, and I thought of something, Inter are the best team in Europe, Liverpool beat them. Barnsly beat Liverpool so does that make Barnsly the best team in Europe?

Oh yeah and I got FSC here but the hassle of getting it was really frustraiting.

Whoa it hyper linked by it self. That messeage about all the Soccer was from Mike S. Forgot to put my name on it. Seriously it hyper linked by it self.

Mike S.

Good Lord! The Haunted Hyperlink! I can feel a story coming on....

Mr. A.

 

I think that th e Amber Spy Glass worked out fin in the end, thank you very much! how would you have ended it? OH, NO! I just relized that we have school tomorrow!NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

reyna.

Now, was it thaaaaaaaaaat bad, Reyna?

Mr. A.
 

 

Sunday, February 24th

Mr.Allen,

Is it too late to be a reflector? Because I would like to become one.

~Leanna~

It's never too late to be a Reflector. If you like their music, you're a Reflector!

Mr. A.


 

Dear Mr.Allen,
Hi it is oLiViA! The songs sound fantastic. I had a great time in Ohio. I can't wait to get back to school!
-oLiViA

See you soon. Glad you like the songs. I think they're great!

Mr. A.
 

 

Liverpool & Man U- Rivals. He would just to take Ronaldo out of the game, now hes going to Paris for treatment, great that's all we need, distractions.

P.S. Mr Allen, what do you think I should get long sleave away Tevez jersey or Ronaldo, (pretty much witch name on the back.) or even Giggs.

Mike S.

 

Ronaldo. No doubt!

Did you see the game against Newcastle?

Mr. A.
 

 

Friday, February 22nd

 

Wow their fans really have to cheat to help their team? I bet the Maneger of Lyon payed someone to shine that laser on Ronaldo. Too bad they are not gonna get away with it. It's fine, United are to good at home Lyon have no chance in the return leg

Mike S.

 

No way! Lyon's manager used to be Liverpool's manager. He would never hold a grudge against Man U, would he?

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr.Allen!

I think that I am going to enter the Junior Ranger essay contest. See you after the vacation!

~Leanna~

 

Hi Leanna,

Hope you're having a great vacation. Good luck with the essay contest!

Mr.A.
 

 

Wednesday, February 20th

 

Wow I was wrong. If Liverpool win the Champions Leauge Bentitez can stay. But you know my prediction for the Final? Man Utd have won the EPL and FA Cup and they are fighting for the trebe. Liverpool get to the final, so it's United for the treble or Bentitez to keep his job.

But how can you lose to Barnsly and then beat Inter? Oh, Bentitez rested Gerrard Torres and Reina, I just rememberd that.

But we rested Ronaldo (who was sick anyway.) I think tevez to and someone else... I'll watch Arsenal vs Man Utd on the weekend. But we still won, 4-0. Feel bad for Lyon. We cant give away FK's though. You know why...

Err message= too long, sorry.

Mike S.
 

And you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone!!!!

Best team in Europe? Undefeated in Italy all season? 29 games undefeated? Not any more!! The thing is, the game was very similar to the weekend's fiasco - we totally dominated possession, but were toothless in front of goal. For the first 84 minutes yesterday, it could have been the same game - except we were not letting, the supposedly best team in Europe get the ball, rather than not letting a bunch of losers from a lower league get the ball.

We were completely dominant in both games - but without goalscoring, it's just frustrating!

You're in for a treat when you see the Arsenal vs. Man Utd. game. Arsenal didn't even show up, for some reason.

Mr. A.

Tell Charlotte that my dad and I love the song Shopping! It is so good! Ha ha, you know me. I love shopping. I'll message you back when I listen to the other songs.
Sincerely,
Rachel the Shopper
P.S. Ironically, I went shopping yesterday.

 

 

 

Hi Mr. Allen,

 
I really like the song, Gossip, except that at the end when kids were 'gossiping' about each other Devin said, "Talia you never talk," or something like that. I think, though he probably didn't mean it, it could hurt her feelings. What do you think about taking it off the song?
 
    Ilana

I like that song, too. I think it's fine the way it is! The message is pretty clear!

Mr. A.

 

"We got Barnsly, Barnsly are like... nobody."

Barsenly>Liverpool.

The only reason Liverpool lost that match is because all Bentitez wants is the European Cup. They also lost fifteen seconds away from time.

P.S. What do you think about Ronaldo? (I mean the Brazilan) I almost- I'll tell you on monday.

Mike S.

February 16th, day of infamy, despair. I think it's time for Rafa to leave! As for Ronaldo, he's been past his 'sell by' date for years!

Mr. A.
 

 

Mr. A,
Do you think I have a chance? Like .11111111%?
KATHRYN

Yes.

Mr. A.
 

Okay. I am MAJORLY confused. I -reyna- acidently(did i spell that right?) clicked on the Homework page and highlighted it (Why you ask? IDK) and under where it said No Homework it said homework feb. 8th-15th and nothing else. But you could only see it when you highlighted it.
P.s. (my new way of writing P.S.) i finished the Swift Knife and the Amber Spyglass (two words or 1? and did i already tell you that??) and they are REALLY good. ****^ 4 1/2 stars. ^_^

    reyna. (oh ya, you know that.) (sorry another spaz attack.).).).)
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

Well, isn't that fascinating?

BTW, it's 'the Subtle Knife'. So you even liked 'The Amber Spyglass"? I didn't think it worked at the end. I liked Subtle Knife, though.

Mr. A.
 

 

Hi Mr.Allen,
   On the info page, the song 'Rage' I don't think I'm in, in the chorus it might be charlotte.

                     Patricia/peachs

Hi Mr.Allen,
   On the info page, the second song leanna and charlotte do heart and soul.


                           Patricia/peachs

Cheers, Peaches!

Mr. A.


 

hey mr.a i need to tell you two things well number 1 it was me that wrote the thank you to the class so if you cou8ld put that up and thank you i got all the songs onto my ipod
the seal

OK.

Mr. A.
 

 

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/abutment

Sorry to be an editing bugger, BUT you were correct, sir. (ouch, unplanned pun there!) Just one "T" in abutment. Two "T" 's in abutting, however.

Cheers,
Suze

ps....bravo to the class and to you - really enjoyed hearing the class CD!

Thanks. I knew about the spelling! Glad you liked ther CD.

mike
 

 

Hi Mr. Allen!

On the You'll Never Walk Alone information page, do you think that you could change song writen by Julia CAasey on Tugging to just song written by Julia C? Thanks a bunch!

-Ali

P.S
The CD sounds great!

I agree!

Mr. A.
 

 

Hey Mr.allen,
the Ramp run pics are still bad, they are still over lapping each other.
P.S. i have listened to the CD like, 40 million times (okay, not 40 million times. But if i listen to it just a few more times then i might be getting close!). A few of my favorite songs are Black Sunshine, Clumsy, Tugging, Opposite World, Gossip, Shopping, Popularity, Italian and, Sibs. I like all of the rest but those are my fav 9.
P.S.S. BTW, I talked to Liv (olivia) and she is sick.
P.S.S.S. When you do P.S.'s do you keep adding on S's, P's or all of the above? BTW, liverpool!
    
     reyna.

You keep adding 'P's - P.P.S. Glad you like the CD. Sorry about the Ramp Run pics

Mr. A.  
 

 

M.A.r.llen,
The music sound great! Thanks for putting it up on the internet. See you after vacation.
Moose Boy 

You're welcome! See you soon!

Mr. A.

Dear Anonymous - I can't post, or respond to, anonymous posts. I would love to post your  thoughtful 'Thank You' message, but without a name, a 'thank you' is about as much use as a chocolate teapot!

Mr. A.

 

 

 

WOW!!!
I smell a record deal!
Amazing lyrics, amazing vocals, amazing instrument playing,
amazing....
Thank you, Mr. Allen!
Clare

Glad you like it, too!

Hey Mr.allen,
Ummmmm, why isn't our -Reyna and Erin's- egg drop on the page?? And ummmm... hi! poor, poor, liverpool. ;~(    (:~0 !! )
reyna.

Beats me. Did you get a photo taken? I've posted everything I found on the camera.

Let's not talk about Liverpool. Unbearable disaster, ridiculous farce,  soccer nightmare? All of the above. Bah, humbug!

Mr. A.
 

 

 

hi mr allen!
correction for the bridge challenge: i believe abuttment DOES have two T's... not something to be proud of finding...?!?

Hey, it's one error less on the site, and that is a good thing, whoever you may be!

Mr. A.
 

 

 

Dear Mr.Allen,
I wasn't sure when the CD was going up.
When is it?
Thanks,
Charlotte

 

The wait is over!

Mr. A.

 

 

Hi Mr.Allen
Just wanted to say hi.

~Leanna~

 

Hi, Leanna.

Mr. A.

 

 

omg i have been waiting all morning for the songs and i just want to say to the class we did a awesome job
the seal

I agree!

Mr. A.
 

 

hey i tried to load all the songs from the website onto my i pod but i don't know how and i tried the right click thing and it didn't work how do i get all the songs on
seal

 

Hi Mr. Allen
I keep listening to the songs that we all made, there awesome. I was just wondering how to get the songs on to your ipod, I cant figure it out.

Erin
 

Hi Erin and The Seal,

Right Click song. Go to 'Save Target as'. Save song onto computer. Once you have the songs on the computer, they can be imported into whatever player you use.

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mike and class,
The CD came out GREAT!  Everyone did such an awesome job (music, voices, lyrics, etc.).  What a great experience for all of you.  Hopefully, lots of fun too!  Enjoy the week.  
Julie and Mark
(Andrew)

I had an excellent time working on this project!

Thanks, and have a great vacation!

                            Patricia/peachs

Mr. A.


Hi Mr.Allen,

   Can I bring home the book over vacation? I want to because I think I could do a better job on my notes. Also, can I bring home my math journal?
 
                                            Thanks!
                                                Patricia/peachs

Freedom is a gorgeous thing.

Mr. A.

 

 

Hey Mr.Allen,
I saw that you put the ramp run on the What's New page and i looked at all of the vehicals and the pictures are overlaping the words. the ones that DON'T overlap are Quicksilver, Swift Kite, Thunderwing and Cult of Personality. Just letting you know. BTW, the rest of the site doesn't overlap things.
  reyna.

Cheers, Reyna. I think it should be fixed now.

Mr. A.
 

 

Hi Mr. Allen. I was just looking at the bridges and I think some are missing. Mine isn't there. At least I dont think so....
. I

It's gonna be a dangerous drive then, eh?

Mr. A.

 

Thursday, February 14th

 

Hi Mr.Allen,
   Did the hyperlik work? can i keep on adding on to my story or make new ones after the vacation and send them to u?

                       thanks!
                         Patricia
P.S. not to bug you or anything but, when can we get student pages.

 

Yes, yes, and after the vacation!

Mr. A.
 

 

Hi Mr. Allen
It's Erin, um, I'm kind of bored so I'm just saying hi. Hi!

P.S. Freedom is ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha ha Just kidding!

 

Hi.

Mr. A.
 

That's it, THATS IT! Well Mr. Allen that's a great explanation but it diden't really anwser my question. So I guess it's not that great of an explanation then...

Mike S.

 

Huh?

Mr. A.
 

Ok that would be nice, *Smiling*
Kathryn

 

Sweet.

Mr. A.
 

 

Tuesday, February 12th

 

"Keep going. Start something new."

Mr. A.

That message you replied to Kathryn with wasen't in yellow. Yep, I notice that stuff. So, I'd like an explanation please.


Mike S.

 

You're a funny guy!

Mr. A.
 

Devin: Exactly -stay relaxed!

Ronaldo and the England players diden't play good because of the freindlys in mid week. We need Portugal out of Euro 08, and Portugal and England cannot! Quailify for the World cup. K thats the plan England and Portugal can't take part in international tournaments.

P.S. United are still in it, Arsenal draw one, United win 64- 61 then we win against Arsenal, as long as there are no more slip ups the Premier Leauge is ours.

Mike S.

 

Hmmm. I guess we'll see. I'd keep an eye on Chelsea, if I were you!

Mr. A.
 

Monday, February 11th

 

Manchester United already won the leauge, you just don't know it yet. And Arsenal, they already got sulted and THEY don't even know it, just watch.

Adebayor is going to get injured, Fabregas will break his leg playing for Spaine and then Ronaldo is gonna break the record for most goals scored in a season, see it's already over. Arsenal are gonna get badly sulted.

Mike S.

 

We'll see. My crystal ball shattered long ago!

Mr. A.
 

Mr. Allen,
I finshed gramical editing now what?  *Fist shaking*
Kathryn

Keep going. Start something new.

Mr. A.
 

I can't access the 2005/6  album is there a problem with my computer? *Sniffing*
Kathryn

I've got a copy, (I think) if you want to hear it .

Mr. A.
 

Dear Mr.Allen,
Hi! I will bring in my math tomorrow and I will send my writing tonight. Is it ok if I do some writing in Ohio because I really want to finish this story.
-oLiViA

You can do whatever you like in Ohio! It's a vacation! If you want to keep working and sending the work to the site, I'll keep publishing it.

Freedom is a beautiful thing.

Mr. A.

 

Sunday, February 10th

 

*Shakes head in despair.*

Mike S.

I'm sorry, dude. Liverpool's result wasn't that great either!

Mr. A.

 

Dear Mr.Allen,
Hi! My parents wanted me to remind you that I will be leaving on wednesday for Ohio. Also just wondering are you going anywere for vacation.
-oLiViA

Thanks. I have a little tradition about the February vacation that is about fifteen years old. I buy tons of food, close the curtains, and dedicate the entire vacation to making music, morning to night for the whole time. It's like an adventure - only inside rather than outside!

See you tomorrow.

Mr. A.
 

Hey, Mike! Hmmm, interesting opinion. Am I allowed to say mine now? Haha, well I'm going to anyway. I think Hannah Montana's a cheap sellout who emphasizes stereotypes (she just HAS to have blonde hair), and gets fame and fortune for songs she doesn't even write (songs which, by the way, have stupid, pointless, and/or cheesy lyrics) and I'm disgusted at her popularity. She's only famous because of her dad. If everyone who had a good singing voice could get someone to write songs for them, we'd all be famous. I really can't stand her.
Sorry, just had to say that. I'm very opinionated. Cool, huh?
-Kylie

 

'I think Hannah Montana is an extremely talented singer/performer/actress who is this year's true pop sensation. I think the songs are tremendously catchy!'

Certainly she isn't cheap, and as for 'sellout', what does that really mean? Her songs and image are wholesome American apple pie in every way! Many great artists don't write their own material, including the vast majority of classical artists.

Somebody has to be popular. Would you rather it were some seething, pain-wracked depressive with gloomy, misanthropic visions of despair? Of course, such artists are also popular, with a different cross section of people.

I certainly agree that there are many more talented individuals than Hannah languishing in various levels of obscurity. Ah, the politics of life, the mathematics of the peak of the pyramid!

Hi Mr. Allen,
I am Brennan's friend Julia. Brennan showed me your website and I think it's more than awsome. I also think you're awsome (even though I don't know you).

Thank you. I'm sure you're awesome, too!

Sure thing.

Everyone should relax about the 'homework hand-in' tomorrow. Any student who reads this:

Please, relax!

Mr. A.
 

Wednesday, February 6th

Hey Mr.Allen,
   The Reflections are soooooooooooooooo cool! Can I be a Reflector?

                      Patricia

You already are!

Mr. A.
 

Hey Mr.Allen,
   On the bridge challenge, Devin's and Ilana's bridge is the same bridge as Daria's and Lily's.

                   Patricia

I'll check into that.

Mr. A.

 

Mr. Allen,
I love the new website look!  It is much easier to read (on our mac, which of course is way better than a pc).  Thanks.
Steph (Callie's mom)
p.s. Nice camels (are they hard to housebreak?)


That bugger nearly broke me!

I'm glad the site is looking better. Cheers!

mike

 

Hey, Mike! How's life? Did you vote today? If you didn't I will be forced to lecture you. Just out of curiousity, what is your opinion on Hannah Montana? I'm just curious.
-Kylie

 

Hey Kylie,

Life is bloody excellent.

I think Hannah Montana is an extremely talented singer/performer/actress who is this year's true pop sensation. I think the songs are tremendously catchy!

Saturday, February 2nd

Sheer fabulousity, huh? Are you quoting Kimora Lee Simmons?
Sincerely,
Rachel the Not So Good Figure Skater
p.s. Guess what happened to me on my first day of skating in gym?! This boy in another class skated into me, I (not being very stable on skates) fell, I tried to grab the wall and instead grabbed the kid's face mask, my friend fell over, and while I was trying to get up, I cut my finger on my newly-sharpened skate. Ha ha.

 

I thought I was quoting one of the Reflections! Sorry to hear about your unpleasant figure skating experience. Doesn't sound funny to me - more like painful and embarrassing.

mike
 

Hey, Mike!
Are my messages getting eaten by cyberspace or something? Can't seem to find them.
Well just wanted to say the reflections are very cool. Love their lyrics. How's the class cd coming? I still remember our class cd. I'm writing a paper on 5th grade for English class.
I'm also sick for the first time since fourth grade. Joy. But at least my talent show audition was earlier, and I think I did pretty well. I didn't have time to write a song this year (with districts and all) but I AM using a guitar.
By the way, are any early release days available?
-Kylie

 

Hi Kylie,

Sickness: Sorry to hear you're sick. I think I've got my first cold of the season coming on, too!

Messages: The mysteries of the digital void!

Reflections: I agree with you about the Reflections. Sheer Fabulosity!

Class CD: As for us, we start work on the class record next week! Wish us luck!

English paper: We did some pretty great work that year. That was one talented group of people, eh?

Talent Show/ Auditions: You always do well! You're fantastic!

Early release: Early release days are available for visits right now. If you want to come, you're more than welcome.

See you soon,

mike
 

 

Mr.Allen,
Will you put my story up on my poets page. It's in my digital folder at school. It's called, when a freind becomes an enemy. If you could that would be great. Bye. Hannah

 

Hannah,

Ahh! Too late. I didn't get the message till now.

David has got the math sheets for you. Maybe tackle them over the weekend and save the writing till next week.

Sorry!

Mr. A.

Dear Mr.Allen,
Hi! It is oLiViA I was wondering if you got my updated story from to day when we were working on it. If not I will hand in the other copy with less for homework.
Thanks,

I've posted it.

Cheers.

Eric
 

Eric: 1. Oh dear. 2. Yes it is. 3. Not sure. 4. Yes it is.

Nice job.

Mr. A.

 

hey mr allen
tomorrow charlotte and i are not going to be in school
just wanted to let you know
from
Hannah

Have a great weekend. Who do you want to pick up the math for you both?

Mr. A.

 


Dear mr allen
since our printer is not working at school and the library is usually closed in the morning is it ok if i just e mail the part of my story that is typed at school tomorrow morning and just hand in the written part and the math? well, i hope so!
Thanks,
Hannah

Sure. Why not?

Mr. A.
 

 

Whoops I forgot my name on the last messeage it's Michael.
 

Ronaldo should have won the Golden ball hes surely going to break Best's record. Kaka has eight goals this season and Portugal beat Brazil 2-0 to in that freindly. Plus Ricardo to the only credit he got was with that PK Shootout against England. I am now a Portugal fan

 

My prediction has come through. Ronaldo is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! 27 goals and were 3 and a half months till the end of the season!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 27 goals and hes a winger!!!! Hes the complete player! Scores of the Free kick and beats the offside trap Yes!!!!! Cappelo won't pick you David James!

Glory Glory Man Utd, Glory Glory Man Utd!

Be ready Arsenal! Were gonna knock you out! C'mon you reds 12 FA Cups!

I am happy right now.

Good bye Lyon go win the French Leauge you stand no chance against us!

Mike s. I'm going back to watch the highlights again

 

Go Patriots!!

Mr. A.

Hey Mr.Allen,
   Is number four in south or north america? Also did you change the website a little, 'cause it is different on my computer than it is Usually.

                  Thanks!
                       Patricia
P.S. it is not that i do not like to be called peachs anymore, it is just that i'm used to writing Patricia.

I must say, Peaches is the catchiest nickname, though I don't know why, for you! As for North or South, it's neither!

Is the site better on your computer, or worse?

Cheers,

Mr. A.
 

 

Hi Mr. Allen,
Its Erin. OMG OMG! The relections are so awesome! I like the song somebody else the best. Im in the fan club!
 

Me too!

Mr. A.

 

Dear Mr. Allen,
Now that I've finished The Wish Diary, I plan to do a small poem anthology. Is that ok?
Kathryn

 

Freedom is a beautiful thing, don't you think?

Mr. A.

 

Arsenal won't be top of the leauge for very long.
Just because Portsmouth are doing good on the road dosen't mean they are going to put up a fight against United. Ferdinand will shut down Benjani and Ronaldo will tear apart the Pompey defense. And were gonna win against Arsenal. And Mr. Allen about the replay in the FA Cup what if they tie on that to?

Mike S.

P.S. Thanks for bubble wrap.

 

You're welcome. I think it goes to extra time, then penalties!

Gotta love a penalty shoot out!

Mr. A.

 

O YA I FORGOT IM THE FRIST RFLECTER OOOOOOYAAAAAA

Mr. A.
 

 

HEY MR.ALLEN I WAS MENCHED BY DA REFLESTERS AND THEY THANKED ME YEEEEEE
DEVIN THE REFTLER
SORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING

 

I know. I was there when they said it!

Mr. A.
 

for the where in the worlds, on number 4, don't laugh, okay, cause i can hear you, Pompeii, Maybe??
told you not to laugh! and is number 8 Africa? maybe that's not spacific enough, but hey! also, did you get my story? i need it tommorow, and tomorrows Wednesday, in case you get this late.
that's all, folks!
written by: callie Marie Todhunter

 

(chuckle, chuckle) Good try. Since no one has got this one yet this year, I'll give you a clue: Somewhere in the Americas. You're right, that your guess needs to be specific. I will tell you that you the animal is the clue!

Mr. A.

 

Hey Mr. Allen,
I was just wondering why there is a new look on the web site. I also wanted to let you know that you should never put cinnamon sugar in your tea.(just a thought:-)! )
Reyna the rubber duck lover (I just got a new rubber duck! It is SOOOOOOO cute!)(↓= alt 14)  (spaz attack!)                     ↓
♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫♫

 

why is there a new look on the site?

pritty pink losers.
(michael and bredan)

 

I'm trying to see if the changes I have made make the site look the same on most computers. Some people have said that the site looks weird on their home computers, with photos over the top of  words. I'm trying a few fixes, so let me know if it helps. Do you like the design changes, or not?

Mr. A.
 

 

Manchester United vs Arsenal FA Cup. I'm scared.

Mike S.
 

I understand!

Mr. A.

 

Reyna I have two things to say to you.
1. 3-1 Juve right? did Buffon play? Oh, and that game where he wasen't, were you talking about the Inter vs Juventus game? Because Buffon waen't playing THAT game. If so I agree.

2. I know how you feel about being on a losing team. My first two seasons were terrible. Being beat 8-0 and scoring a total (in the whole team) the first season, 1 goal. I admit I almost quit soccer *Gasp*. I'm surpirised that hasen't happend to you before.
____
I know, Liverpool won 5-2 but guess what? When a team crushes one 5-0,5-2 ect. They score so many goals that game,then the next game you can only get one. Remember,5-0 LFC vs Luton Town, then LFC vs Aston Villa? Proof! Unless your Man Utd. Oh yeah, 25 goals this season for Ronaldo. He should have won Ballon D'or. I don't care if he runs the national team or not Kaka has eight goals this season Ronaldo deserves it. My messeages are to long.

Mike S.
 

I like your messages!

Mr. A.

 

Sunday, January 27th

Well Mr. Allen,
About the game in Tewksbury... we (Olivia and I) lost. We all most always do. We lost 1-3 or something. We lost because almost every girl on our indoor team is inexperienced. Really inexperienced. Except that we won our game like two weeks ago. 7-4. I got 4 goals and Livy got 3.
  Reyna irritated soccer player. (because we lose a lot)

 

Keep your chin up. As they say, 'if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger'!

Mr. A.

p.s.- we won 5:2 yesterday!

 

Oh Michael,
Who won 3-1?  Yep. Thats who -gasp!- .
Reyna.
(HA!)(HA HA!)
 

Hmm.

Mr. A.

 

The songs sound good! I think it's time that we go over them all. Jason broke his thumb AGAIN! Somebody keep this kid away from ALL sports! (He should go everywhere in a wheelchair, too, to prevent from tripping. maybe with a big protective dome around it:)
see you tuesday,
Sarah who deserves a really awesome nickname, so awesome that she's the only one that could think of it.  
p.s. not naming names, but some kids from school are "
Reflectors' in the making. 

Nice to hear from you. Totally agree. Trouble is the boy loves his sports! See you on Tuesday,

mike

 

yeah thats a great nickname for them
devin

You need to think of unique names for each of the girls, by the sound of it, Devin!

Mr. A.
 

I love the Reflectors idea.
Wow, our first fan. I don't think Devin would come up with a very flattering name for me... but I want to know what he does comes up with for Sarah.
I'll fix it all on Tuesday, I guess. There are a lot of things that need to be done. :K
We need to have a Reflections photo shoot! I already have some ideas.
Yes, I can understand why you wouldn't like basketball.
You know the picture on the communication page with the camels? Where is that? I'm assuming it is in Africa, but in what country? Are camels as bad as they were described in a movie we watched? Do they really spit, kick, and bite people? I don't think I'll ever ride on one, but I wouldn't mind visiting Africa some day. Also, was the man on the left in the blue from the Tuareg? We're learning about ethnic groups, but some people get to do whole countries for their reports. Lucky me, I'm doing South Africa. I like South Africa, but there's so much information, and most of it is about Nelson Mandela(sp?). Oh well.
Sincerely,
Rachel the Post-it Note Junkie
p.s. I like post-it notes. I just got a stack in purple, blue, and yellow. :)

Hi Rachel,

That picture is just outside of Timbukto, Mali. Mr. Paci took the picture about five seconds after the ugly, evil, over-grown rodent you see in the picture (not Mr. Paci!) had tossed me into the air then left me swinging upside down from the harness for thirty seconds by one leg. Very amusing for everyone (but me), as you might imagine. They are bad tempered beasties and do spit as well as groan in the most terrifying way.  The guy on the left is indeed a Tuareg.

See you on Tuesday - you'll have to tell the group about your ideas for the photo shoot, etc.

mike
 

Hey Mr. Allen,
Those are pretty good reasons (you know, about the Liverpool thing) but I highly doubt that you are going to convince anyone who has already picked their team (like Michael and I). Yesterday I couldn't write to you because I was at my after school until 4:00 and then I played in a soccer game in Tewkesbury so I got home at like 7:15 (try the Milky Way hot chocolate at DD’s. it is AMAZING! And if anyone goes to DD’s and has the White hot chocolate tell me if it is good or not.)
      P.S. thanks for putting my story up.  
Ł8er. (Sorry, having spaz attack!)
           Reyna. (I am not self centered Michael!) 

I'll try the Milky Way Hot Chocolate. Sorry you weren't convinced about Liverpool! How was the game in Tewkesbury?

Mr. A. 
 

No not convinced.  But I guess the american owners are still in on a 682M deal, so sad. So you wanna bet five invisible bottles of air that Liverpool win all the games for the rest of the season?

MIK E

S...

OK.

Mr. A.
 

Friday, January 25th

Yes, your right Mr. Allen. I was watching the Pompey vs LFC game and Liverpool were 2-0 up or three... But in the second half when one of their guys scored I thought they were gonna come back. Anyway, so give me eight reasons why I should be a liverpool fan.

MIke S.

1. You'll never walk alone. 2. Steven Gerrard, Torres, Carragher, Reina, Masher, Kewell. 3. Most successful club in English history. 4. The team of the people, not the Champagne Charlies and Upper Class twits. 5. Never say die team spirit. 6. Fantastic, unique comebacks in Champions league finals. 7. Deep history and great old characters like Bill Shankly, and amazing players - Keegan, Dalglish, Rush, et. al. 8. It's never boring - it's a rollercoaster ride!

Convinced?

Thought not.

Mr. A.

 
conners new nickname- jimmy hindreks.
jason new nickname- the who's awsome bass plery
elys new nickname- the guy with amzing fingers
i wavent thought of the others but im working on it.
devin

Man, you didn't get nicknames for the singers. How about the Twins  of Fabulousity - Rachel and Sarah?

Mr. A.
 

 

Hey Mr. Allen have you notice that since you said that not many people are useing the website and then theres like 10 new messeages from diferent people? How ironic. That is all.

MIke S.

I capitilized the I cause thats how I right my name (on here) now.

 

OK.

Mr. A.

dont you think.
dev

hey mr.allen its devin i just want to say thanks for putting the righting on my potes page...but one proulbm...ITS MISSING A BIGGG CHUNK. its ok
devin

 

Check it again. I've just updated at 5:30pm. I'm glad you like their work. You are now an official 'Reflector' - you're in their fan club!

Mr. A.

 


 

Hey Mr. Allen it’s the seal of aprovale I haven’t written in a long time, I was just wondering  I writing my story and im thinking about ending it but im only on chapter five should I end it so quickly or make it go on to like chapter 8? And are we going to talk more about the pre teen life thing

Let the story be told. When you have finished telling the story it will be done! We need to finish this afternoon's discussion then start making plans in the groups.

Mr. A.

 

Hey Mr. Allen guess what? I can't say what's any more, or when any one calls me I say Yes? So I have to go what is that, and yes? Just thought I'd say that. And what national team do you think is the best? That is all. <--- See

Huh? As for National teams,  I like how Argentina play

Mr. A.

 

Yes I got up at 6:30 Am to check. Atlanta beating Milan???? Atlanta are plauged by injureies to. Milan have Pato,Ronaldo,kaka all these Brazilians plus Italians. And they needed Gilardino to win the game on sunday! OK, they gotta get Dida out of net
 

You said it your self, Chelsea, Man U, and Arsenal aren't going to slip up. Plus you got City and Everton battiling for 4th place. Oh yeah, Villa to. I think it is because of the American owners though.

Mike s.

Sorry if there are alot of mistakes I'm frustraited right now.
 

I think it's because the team hasn't been quite good enough when they've needed to be. Even when Man Utd. and Arsenal or Chelsea go behind, you always feel that they're still going to win, and they invariably do it. Liverpool, on the other hand, even with a lead, make you nervous. Having said that, I bet we win every game from now to the end of the season, though! We make dozens of chances every game but just haven't taken them.

Mr. A.


 

WHAT?!?!
JASON BROKE HIS THUMB?!?!
I'm going to break his leg next time I see him...
Sincerely,

Let's hope for the best for Jason.

I've remixed the songs and put mp3's of them all on the Reflections page. What do you think of making the fanclub members called 'reflectors'? Check out the page and let me know what changes I need to make. Will you let all the other Reflections know about the new look page and songs?

Basketball was never my game either, as you might imagine!

mike

Mr. Allen,

Set your monitor to 1024 by 768, see if that helps. Let me know.

Hey Mike It's Jay
I broke me thumb again... well I'm not sure that i broke it but I'm pretty sure I either sprained it or broke it. 

Oh no, not again!! You poor thing. Well, I hope it's just something minor. Good luck, dude!

As for The Reflections, I'm still trying to figure out why I can't upload one of the songs. I'm going to remix everything and try to put up all we have on the site over the next few days.

mike

 
hey mr.A this is jason can you earase my name on the next email i give you and put it in my microsoft word document under black hawk down , oh and sorry i havent been on the website in ages!

I'm not sure what you mean. You don't have to come to the website, you know! Everything is fine.

Mr. A.


Mr.Allen,
   Dominace is having a few dificulties. We started to take of stuff and then we had to go to lunch. So, it has no front wheels. Can we fix it tommorow?

                       Thanks a Lot!
                        Patricia, Lily and Reyna!

Yes. Relax, ladies, relax!

Mr. A.
 

Hey Mr A - I was wondering what your thoughts are on the situation with the American owners in Liverpool and the subsequent reaction/treatment at Anfield?  Also, are you in favor of the sale to the group from Dubai for 750MM?

David G
Juve Fan

I think that capitalism is a mighty sword, but if you play with it carelessly, one edge or the other will cut you. They're saying that Hicks and co. have now got the financing. I think that both groups think of the club as a brand of breakfast cereal rather than a life-long passion. If the money isn't made they'll sell it off and move on, leaving what horrific mess in their wake?

mike

 

5-1 Tottenham vs arsenal- Carling cup right?  


Oh and Mr. Allen have you noticed that some of the greatest teams have fallen down? Celtic are 4 points behind Rangers, Ajax are five points behind (I'm not so sure that one is five though.) Juventus have fallen down and Liverpool to. And to Reyna and Mr. Allen I said greatest see^^. Oh, and Milan.

One more thing, did Wayne Rooney really score a hat trick on his debut for Man Utd? Because I can't belive that.

How are Juventus 3rd in the leauge? Buffon is like the greatest GK in the world right now. No offense, but I think Juve draw to much, they need a new striker,Del Piero is 33 and wow, 110 goals Trezeguet.  Oh Pato should have gone to Juventus what a waste now Milan got Gilardino and Inzaghi on the bench. Pato+Trezueguet+ Nedved and Del Piero on the sides= win.

Mike s.

P.S. Hi.

Well, Michael, as they say, every dog has its day. The question is which dog left the mess on the front lawn?

Right now dominant teams are on top of every pile, as usual. It's just not my favored dominant teams.

Never say die. Remember the soccer game at recess today? Liverpool are still gonna win the league, just like we were going to win!

Hi.

Mr. A.

i still think ronaldo is wayyy better
devin

I agree with you, but what do we know?

Mr. A.

 

Tuesday, January 22nd

I just typed a whole bunch for the writing workshop homwork. I would send my story to you, but I have the other half in school. Do you still want me to send it to you? Just a question.

Kevin

You just need to bring it in on Friday. Enjoy yourself!

Mr. A.

whats with all of the ac malin what about man-u. there soo better. gzze mike. you didnt no that. cristano ranodo iss soo much better then kaka. duh.
devin

Well, let's not forget that A.C. Milan are European Champions and Kaka is World player of the year, whether you agree or not!

Mr. A.

Hey Mr. A, this is Reyna and her daddy chiming in on the world of "fan-dom".  I must admit that even though Liverpool and Juventus have a rather sketchy past together, Reyna and I have always pulled for Liverpool when they play in CL games (except for when they play Juve).  We really like it when the home crowd sings "you'll never walk alone" - it is very cool.  Juventus is a family thing going way back for us and they will always be number 1 in our hearts, but we keep an open mind for most other teams with a few exceptions: Milan (it's the rival thing); Inter (just because we have nothing good to say about them - YUCK); Roma (pretty much because Totti is a phony); and Man U ... because YUCK!  other than those exceptions, we really love the beautiful game ;-)  And we love the fact that you encourage this topic of discussion!!!  THANKS!!!  Oh, and Reyna wants me to say: "See Michael, it is 2! of like 15-20 million people, so HA!" 

 Wow 2-2 and they barely got the tie. Be a United fan Mr. Allen. If they keep this up Liverpool won't be one of the big 4 any more. City or Everton might be in the Champions leauge next year. Don't they realize english clubs can't have american owners? I think Rafael will be sacked by the end of the season.

Michael.

I guess we'll wait and see if you're right.

What about Spurs spanking Arsenal tonight 5-1?

Mr. A.

European Cup is the problem, AC milan eliminated United last year. Any way I just realized Liverpool are in 5th place behind City and Everton. Oh, they diden't play yet never mind. I hope they win cause I think the other big teams have left Liverpool in the dust. Also, Mr. Allen do you think I know more about the leauges then a few months ago? Cause I've really put time into knowing about them.

P.S. Reyna, who tied with Sampdoria? Juve I  believe.

Mike S


 

Monday, January 21st

Hi Mr. Allen.

Hi, I just wanted to say I'm a Milan fan again. Why? Because I thought about it and I realized that if I don't support them, I WILL be one of those people who support who ever wins. I just wanted to say this because if I don't five people will come up to me and say "I thought your not a AC Milan fan!" when I walk in wearing a Rossenari jersey tomorow. So um hopfully we can get back in to 4th place,maybe, probably not.

Mike S.

Good for you. BTW, isn't it Ok to support as many or as few teams as you like?

Mr. A.

 


If I support Manchester United how can I support Liverpool... I'm not switching I'm a real fan of Man U. But I have a question, when ever I go to like a messeage board on soccer and someone mentions United, people are always like "manchester scum" and stuff so do people think they're evil? But any way, I am now officaly a Celtic supporter.

Mike S.

People on public message boards don't always write with elegance or decorum. I think the opinions of ignorant people are exactly that! You support whoever you like, but don't be shocked by the ugliness of people who take things too far!

Mr. A.

 

Hey Mr.Allen,
It's Reyna and I was just wondering if you got my latest writing thing. I din't see it on my page.
Thanks

I've sent a copy to your mom and updated ( I think) the poet's page.

Mr. A.

 

YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF WICKED?
-gasp-
It's about two witches, named Elphaba and Galinda (AKA The Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda) that go to Shiz University in Oz. They end up being friends, and the play basically explains everything about Elphaba, showing her in a new light. I'm not sure if you'd like it. The music is good, but it's a bit sappy. Sort of. I don't know, I've never seen it.
Sincerely,
Rachel the Christian Siriano Fan
p.s. Christian Siriano (I think that's his last name...) is a desginer on Project Runway.

 

Well, pardon me!

Actually, now you describe it, it does sound like an awful 80's movie I vaguely remember

mike
 

 

Thursday, January 17th

 

Also, I don't support AC Milan. I liked Barcelona at the beginning of 5th grade, but then I changed to Liverpool. I don't actually watch games, though. When it comes to international soccer, though, like the World Cup, I support Germany/France. Mainly Germany, but when they don't win, it's France. NOT ITALY.
Sincerely,
Rachel the Wicked Fan
p.s. I LOVE THE WICKED SOUNDTRACK. I've never seen the musical, though.

 

Wise decision on the Liverpool thing. As for Wicked - I haven't heard or seen it. You think I'd like it?

HEY. WASSUP, GIRL?
Just kidding.
The Shady Hill fair is coming up...in like, May. But still, I need to pick a song to sing. What do you think?
Hey, my nickname thing is catching on, isn't it?
Anyway, I just had a new idea for a story. What if there was another planet, similar to ours, that found out the there where aliens, and it just happens that those aliens are from Earth? I think I'll write it in my daybook (it's like a journal).
Sincerely,
Rachel the Princess-in-Training
p.s. What's with the nickname? My friends at school heard me singing something I heard in one of my sister's princess movies, and they've dubbed me 'Snow-White-In-Training.' We went outside and I sand, but no woodland creatures came. :)

 

What about fixing it for the Reflections to play at the Fair?

mike

 

I have a correction: sang instead of sand. Oops.
Sincerely,
Rachel the Clumsy Ice Skater
 

 

Well if I support Inter I'll be one of the people that suppports what ever team is winning.

I do support Lyon, not that much cause I don't really follow French soccer. Even though I could kinda name half of the teams in Orange Leauge one. Sadly,I know the offical name of the French "ligue"( Not bragging)

Wait I know, Celtic! Yes! SPL champions of 06/07. Yup I'm supporting them. Bye, gonna go find out about celtic. Also,Reyna,one out of about 15-20 Million.
Mike S.

84% of signatures have a stasistic in them.
If your one of the 16% that dosen't make this your signature.

 

OK then... Wait! I've had an idea! Try Liverpool on for size.

Mr. A.
 

 

I have just written in about a statement that was made by Michael. you know this one
'I have realized that every single American, that knows enough about soccer supports AC Milan.' i resent that!
Reyna the Juventus fan.

Oh dear, Michael. So much for that idea!

Mr. A.
 

Hi Mr. Allen

Hi, I have realized that every single American, that knows enough about soccer supports AC Milan. But I'm not supporting Genoa or Lazio. Like one of the other big three in Italian soccer, Roma, Inter, or Juventus. Or just drop following Italian soccer all together, since it is kinda boreing. Unless those other three are playing.

Mike S

P.S. Man Utd gonna win all competions.

What about Inter Milan? Many called them the best team in Europe around Xmas. What about Real Madrid? Or Barcelona? Olympic Lyonnais? Oh yeah, let's not forget Liverpool...

Hey, Mike! Yikes, I can't find the Skyline page! How do I get to it? It was under "What's New" but it seems to have disappeared. Curious.

It's on the projects page. I've moved all the first terms work to that page.

Hi Mr.Allen,
  Is the book Witness have fiction characters or real ones? Are there any real things that happened that are in the book? I'm wondering because the book that we read last year had fiction characters but had a few real places and moments if you will.

The book has a cast of fictional characters describing real events in Burlington, Vermont. I think you will find it fascinating!
