I thought so!

Mr. A.

 

Dear Mr. Allen,
I would like to make a student page too. Is that ok?
Kathryn

Dear Kathryn,

Of course you can!

Mr. A.

 

Hey Mr.Allen,
I'm working so hard on my student page! Right now, I'm looking up sports images for my page. I have everything planed and stuff like that. I just have one question. When are we going to the 'park' again? You know, the trees and all that. Ok, by.
Kevin
 

Hey Kevin,

Next week, or the week after, probably.

See you tomorrow

Mr. A.

 

Mr. Allen,
Can I have this as the backround on my poems page? Could you also take off the other pictures on the left side and replace it with the palm tree. The address is below.
      Thanks,

Hi Hannah and Talia,

Write a poem, read a story, count the windows, spend a million dollars.

See you tomorrow.

Mr. A.

 

Mr Allen,
I accedentially sent you my rough draft story for my student page. My other one is all edited and it's a little bit longer. I'll send it to you later because I can't right now. Bye!

You'll cope, a girl of your many talents!

mike

Opps spelled something wrong
Lian

 

This is the new super villan in the class, The Red Dolphin. I will help Darth Ducky conqueror the world. MUA HA HA HA HA!!!!!
 

Dear Mike

It's Christain (and Bob) just wondering if you had that thing I wrote about komodo dragons. If you do, can you put it on Peaches webpage.

Christian

 

Hi Christian,

I'm not sure I know. Send it again, and I'll post it!

Mike

 

Hi Mr. Allen,
I just wanted to let you know that I, **** (leave the names in) am Darth Ducky. A lot of the messages that Darth Ducky put up are not all messages  from me and the picture that someone put up in the classroom is not from me ether. But if you notice the picture in the class room is spelled Darth DuckIE, not with a y an ie.

p.s. I think that *** is the Darth Duckie but he won’t admit to it.
***
 

Go Red Sox!!!!!!!!!!         Sully

 

hi Mr. Allen,
This is Erin (again):-)
I just looked at my poets page and the backround looks good. I just wanted to ask if you can take the black line out where the "poetry pictures" are?

Show me what you mean in the am.

Mr. A

 
GO SOX! Yay! Tonight they might win the world series.
Sincerely,
Rachel the Jacoby Ellsbury Fan Girl

mja

 

Hi mr.Allen It's alton
 

Hi Alton,

I got both of your messages. Nice to hear from you. See you tomorrow.

Mr. Allen

 

 

Hi Mr.Allen,
   I was wondering when you were going to put up the new back round that I sent you a few days ago up on my poets cafe page?

              peachs

Patience sweetie, patience...

mja
 

 

Hey, Mike!

Just wanted to say hi. I'm working on the "Pressure" song. You wouldn't believe how organized I'm being with this song. Perhaps too organized. I've mapped nearly everything out so it's like the original, and I know you'd say it doesn't have to be like the original and since WE'RE doing it, it's OUR song now so we can do what we want, but I think the original is really good, and I'd like to stay as close to it as possible. Can't wait to do it!
-Kylie

 

Hi Kylie,

Sounds good. I suggest you try to keep some flexibility in your organization - it's still early days for Skyline on their instruments, don't forget!

Let's give it our best shot.

mike

 

 

Hi Mr. Allen,

Yup, I'm switching, Rio Ferdinand best defender in premier league history Man u jersey on the way soon. Check out my new signature

Dear Mr. Allen,
   This hiper link will get you a picture that want for my poet's cafe page:  http://images.google.com/images?q=sunrise&gbv=2&ndsp=20&svnum=10&hl=en&start=40&sa=N. I do not want it tiled. If you can not put the whole picture up you can tile it.


                         peaches  
P.S. I could not get the web adress to do the  hiperlink thing on the contact page.

 

Mr.Allen,    In the message before this did the hyperlink work or not?                          peachs Hi Peaches, Sure did. Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr. Allen,

Hi Mr. Allen I just wanted to tell you that I'm on the verge of switching to supporting Manchester United. Oh yeah, and Devin switched to Chelsea so yay. But, I'm on the verge, not actually yet. But Manchester united are pretty good. No, not pretty, really good.

P.S. Mr. Allen when I right click there's no button to hyper link it, so could you explain it to me again, thanks.

Mike S.

Hi Mike,

Man, you switch a lot. Sounds like Man Utd. might be best for you! As for Chelsea,  it's a free country, support who you like, that's what I say!

Ask Peaches about the hyperlinking - she knows what she's doing.

See you Monday - ps. Liverpool vs. Arsenal - Fox soccer channel, Sunday 12:00pm. Go Red Sox!

Mr. A.

Hi Michael,
I read an earlier entry from Devin asking about The Decemberists.  In case you are interested, they are playing November 3-4 at the Orpheum Theatre.  I get emails about upcoming shows and that was one of them.  See you at school.  --Julie

Hi Julie,

Cheers. They're pretty good live, too!

mike

hi mr.allen its David again
I think you did a great job on my poem page but there are still a few things I wont to change like on top I wont a border of a picture across my page this is the picture I wont   http://www.thebusinesslogo.com/logo-design-cartoons-character/thumbnails/cartoon-santa-claus-christm-logo.gif

then were it says David's poems I would like that in bold and it to be green and all the words in dark green if you could do that I know im probably the last one to write to you so I don't care if you don't get it done this week bye hope you have fun tomorrow talk to ya later

Hi David,

I'll give it my best shot!

See ya,

Mr. A.
 

 

Wednesday, October 24th

Hi David,

Mr. Allen

Mr. Allen

P.S. Dude, 'Spellcheck' your messages!

 

Hi Mr Allen

I need to change one of my poems, there is a mistake so I just wanted to let you know.

From Erin

Hi Erin,

Make the change at school, then put the edited poem into a special folder. I'll help you tomorrow.

Mr. Allen

 

 

Ok let my straiten things out. #### (take my name out every where) is   darth ducky!! Not ####, not ***, not **** its ****!!!!! Darth ducky

Darth ducky (█ƒ█)
 

 

Hi Mr. Allen

I just found this cool thing on my computer, I just press a button and it can spell check any thing I've typed so um I'll never have a mistake writing to you again. So um bye.

P.s. Lets see if you know me, whats my favorite animal? Not a cow or a moose, oh and it ends in k.
  
OK bye
MIK€ S.

 

Hi Michael,

I like this special button!

Favorite animal? Surely not! Can it be true?

Mr. Allen.

 

Hi Michael,
I just want to say thank you for keeping up with the teacher's plans and web site in general.  I know it is time consuming, but it is very helpful for parents (at least us anyway) to know what is going on at school, what worked and what didn't.  Instead of us asking "How was school today?  Did you do anything special?"  Now we can ask, "How did the ... project go?"  See you soon, Julie

 

Hi Julie,

Thanks. I don't mind the time. It keeps me on my game!

See you in the schoolyard.

mike
 

Mr. Allen,
  Could I have this picture of the walking kitty put up a bunch of times for my banner on the poem page? Here’s it’s link:

www.royalcanin.co.uk/.../kitten_guide.aspx

-Talia

I’d love for the first picture of the puppy on the website to be tiled all over the back ground for my student page if possible! Thanks! Here’s it’s link:

www.shooterdog.com/yorkies.htm

-Talia

P.S

Sorry I'm not e-mailing you!
I will next time!

-Talia (again!)


Hi Talia,

This link didn't work, so I put your other kitty picture up. I put the cloud up, too.

I've put up what you've sent me for your student page.

Mr. Allen

 

 

Hi Mr. Allen

Hi I was told my birth day presents today they are a ipod with a spinney thingy, yeah dude! A spinney thingy. Plus I'm finally getting my own laptop. And all that regular surprise stuff from people and that's about it. Yeah I am spoiled. Oh and I have a secret, don't tell any one. *looks around* OK this is like a secret that will change how you think, it'll also change the
world. So it is....... I...... walked my dog today. * Runs off giggling*.


P.s. My house is a mess.
oh yeah no spelling errors huh? Yeah I corrected them without word. Oh one more thing Kevin I'm sorry I accused you of being dark ducky its some one with a longer name with you because a few weeks ago someone posted a message saying they were dark ducky but Mr. Allen censored it but I could tell there were more letters in it then your name so now I have to start looking again and use my world class detective skills to solve this case.

OK bye


M.I.K.E  S.

I still think  Michael is Darth Ducky. He doth protest too much!

Mr. A.
 

 

Dear M.A.r.llen,
   How many years is in an eternirities? Sorry bout' the random question and all! See you at schhool tomorrow!
                        Yours Truly,
                             Moose Gal
 

Let's talk at school.

Mr. A.

 

Monday, October 22nd

M.A.r.llen
Is it okay f my story is only three or four pages long? That's all.
Moose Boy

Hi Moose Boy,

It's about time not length.

Four to Five hours max for the entire project, including math and art, as well as the writing.

If you spend two hours on the math and art, that leaves roughly
three hours for writing.

Of that three hours, perhaps one hour is for planning and editing/checking.

That leaves a maximum of two hours for writing. If you handwrite then type, then it's one hour handwriting, one hour typing.

If you either, only handwrite the story, or only type it, you will have the full two hours, depending on how long the check/edit takes you.

Useful?

Mr. Allen.

 

What? I'm not darth darky ****  is, I meen its so obvious as every one knows ***** hates ducks. But? how is it me? *Whining sound*. Really its not me, really! no no I'm serious  its not me! Oops talking to my self again. Its not me though its ***! I'll prove it I'm a world class detective.

Short story: Hello, detective we need you to go to a store robbery  ok then. Well Mr. detective sir. We found some evidince on the ground, it was a note, it said I did this with the robers name, telephone number (witch he specificly says we can track by GPS) and his address. What do you think we should do first * The robber pops up in front of detective and says I'm the robber*! Hmmmm, we should, start searching for the robber. *Simpsons music*

In case you haden't noticed that story was about me, and my adventures of being a world class detective. But ** is darth ducky its obvious.

P.s. How'd you get the alt codes? *Whining sound* It was supposed to be a secrect! I shall get my revenge.

Mike S.
 

DARTH DUCKY has almost revealed his\her secret identity as Michael!!!!! oops did I just say that?oh well. toodels!

                                         {╤▲☻ôq╖!≤♣=K√oΩΦ§ÆÄ∟)
 

Hi Mr. Allen

Oooo big game comeing up, nope not the red sox its Liverpool vs Arsenal. who cares about the world series Liverpools on! Just jokeing. But is is a big game and ha arsenal you Don't have Thierry Henry any more so ha. Oh their in first place. *whineing *sound* but liverpool could tie Man city if they win.

*whineing sound*


Mike S.

P.S.

Mr. Allen,

Whats your favorite MLS/Spanish Premiera team?

Me: Revolution and do I really need to say it? Barcelona!

K bye

 

Hi Michael,

Technical notes: Whining not whineing

joking not jokeing

coming not comeing

they're/ their or there?

Anyway, yes it is a big game. Liverpool have been rather shaky for the last month. Arsenal have been magnificent. Both Man U. and Chelsea are looking either excellent or improved. Even Blackburn Rovers are looking good. Anyway, I'm very excited by the Red Sox, the Patriots, and Liverpool! I like Barcelona, too.

See you tomorrow.

Mr. Allen

 

Mr. Allen,
I am having a difficult time reading the messages.  The left hand side of the screen is black, and the text is mostly black, so half of the messages are unreadable.  Is it just me?
Steph Todhunter

 

Hi Steph,

You may have your screen resolution set to 800 by 600 rather than True Color 1024 by 768. I'll change the messages to yellow if you like.

All the best,

Saturday, October 20th

Hey, Mike! The early release day was fun. Sorry I got there late. Bus 8 was wicked late for some reason. Can't wait to see you tomorrow! We've got most of a song ready. This should be very interesting. We'll see if everything works out. You've got an interesting class this year (I mean that in a good way). The whole middle school advice thing sounds like a good concept. Let me know when you figure out more about it!
May the force be with you!
-Kylie

Oh and by the way (this is Kylie again. Sorry but I totally forgot to say this in my first message), can I still do stuff to my student page? It's really outdated and I pretty much want to wipe the slate clean. I'll send you stuff later.
-Kylie
 

Hi Kylie,

Let's hope it is! And yes you can.

mike

Hey mr. allen, this is just a quick messege, but we have to do 3 paragraphs for the article thing, right? GO SOX!! Bye
                      Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Hope you figured this out, whatever it was!.

Have a great weekend,

Mr. Allen

 

Hey Mr. Allen it's Jay
Sorry I got back to you late but Sarah, Conor, Eli, and I said that Tuesday at 3:30 was fine, but Conor and Eli kind of perfer Thursday but they said that it didn't really matter.

 

Hi Jay,

I'll see you all on Tuesday, 3:30 - 5:00pm

mike
 

 

Wednesday, October 17th

Hi Mike,
The classroom coordinators, Clare, Becca and myself are wondering if we could get together with you after school next Wed 10/24 to chat it up about how we can best help you and the class. We can hang in the classroom or walk to Camille's. What do you think?

Bobbi

 

Hi Bobbi,

Any chance of going for Monday 22nd? If we could meet a little later on Wednesday, I can do it. I have a meeting  from 1:40 until 2:30, so I can meet after that.  Camille's sounds like a good idea.

Let me know what you think

All the best,

mike
 

 

Our jokes weren't that bad. I mean, at least we don't crack 'teacher' jokes.

OK then!!

Mr. Allen

hi Mr. Allen. it's me Jean-Charles.I haven't seen you in a long while. on Thursday the 4th I went to Strasbourg, France. It was great, every day I had either had escargo or Tarte Flambe (like French pizza). is there any room for me to go to you on the 17th or the other release days. see you soon.
Jean-Charles

Hi J.C.

Lucky boy! Sounds like fun. The next Middle School visit window is  in January! Jordan has signed up to come then. Sorry, old chap, but there's nothing I can do. Mind you, I'll probably se you outside school sometime.

All the best

mike
 

 

Yes, I'm actually writing to you. You know, atleast I acknowledge the fact that you're alive, unlike some people who don't send in messages. Just kidding. :) So, you can't bug your current class? Why are they so annoyingly gentle? We put up with it! Just kidding, again. But seriously, class of 07-08, you need to toughen up. Wait until it's MCAS time. Wait until they're stuck in the...what was it called again? The Last Chance Motel? Yeah, I think that's right. Once again, just kidding. I like to joke around, have you noticed? But seriously, MCAS practice = pure torture. Oh well.
I can't wait to go to farm school! It's when two sixth grade classes go up somewhere in MA and work at a farm for, like, two days. It'll be so much fun. I hope I get to work with cows, since they are so adorable.
I've learned almost all of the African countries! Right now we're learning Egypt, Chad, Sudan, Morocco, Western Sahara, Tunisia, and Algeria. I haven't memorized it completely yet, but I'm close.
Sorry about on doing the podcast, my dad was too lazy to set it up for me.
Sincerely,
Rachel the African Country Specialist
 

Dear Rachel the African Country Specialist,

Sitting with your friends doing practice tests for two weeks? Torture? How about listening to 25 jokers, 26 including me, all cracking bad jokes at the same time?

The Last Chance Motel? Isn't that where we all live, every day?

Nice to see you're as sprightly as ever.

All the best,

mike

Hey, Mike!
Just letting you know I haven't dropped off the face of the earth! I think Jobasky (or Skyline or whatever it may be called) went well. I wish we had more time, but we're thinking of getting together Sunday. It turns out John and Steve DIDN'T have soccer practice so we could have stayed longer and I wish we had, but oh well. I think Bailey and I should play "Pressure" for you next time.
-Kylie

Hi Kylie,

I thought it was an excellent first session. Hopefully, we cleared up most of the things that could get in the way of the music. Are we going to be starting with the 'Pressure' song, I wonder? Looking forward to getting started. It was nice to see you all!

mike

 

 

Thursday, October 11th

Kylie, Bailey, Steve, John: Thanks for the messages. See you all later today.

Hi Bai,

OK. See you later.

mike
 

Sunday, October 7th

Hi Mr. Allen!
I'm going to try to record my first podcast tonight! I'm not sure what to say, though. I think I'm just going to talk and call people on my phone and record it. I wonder what I'll name it...
Guess what? My new friend Nicola and I are going to sing in the SHS fair! I want to sing 'Somewhere Only We Know' by Keane, but we haven't decided yet.
I saw Conor, Kevin and Abbey at Playstead Park last Saturday. It was kind of weird, because it was a coincidence.
I'm looking forward to coming in December. I could dress up as a boy to fit in, but I'd rather not. Too bad none of the girls are coming. Oh well. I can deal with it.
Sincerely,
Rachel the Red Sox Fan

Hi Rachel the Red Sox Fan,

Good luck with the podcast. . I'm sure you'll find something to say -just pick a few topical subjects and say what you feel.

I like that song. I bet you could sing that brilliantly.

Don't worry about December -it's only six boys. In fact there will be a total of 15 boys and 15 girls in the room, not including me!

Coincidence, huh?

Go Red Sox!

Mr. Allen

Wow Mr. Allen did you hear, ronaldinho almost got sold to chelsea, good thing they dident get him or he could lead chelsea to win the FA cup. Oh yeah, and kaka was named fifapro of the year.


Mike S.

Hi Mike,

I did hear those things, though Ronaldinho is not the fearsome player he was so far this year, so Chelsea can have him - just what they need, another overpriced, overpaid, over weight, has been for their squad! Lionel Messi seems to be the guy this year. If Thierry Henry is amazed by him, he must be astounding!

Mr. Allen

Hey Mr.Allen its Matt. can we have a class reunion? i really want one. Please respond.
Matt

Hi Matt,

Good Lord, it's a bit early for a reunion, isn't it? I would like to quote the great philosopher, Matt McDonald: 'Mike, I think the answer for the chicken or the egg problem is that a circle has no beginning.
Matt'.
It was nice to see you on Friday, if only briefly.

mike 

 

Hi Mr.Allen. Have you ever been on bustedtees.com? The T shirts they have are so funny! I'm just at work with my Dad.  Well, Bye.
Abbey

 

Hi Abbey,

No, I've never heard of that site. I'll check it out. I hope you had fun with your dad.

Hi Ilana, I received the homework. Thanks. See you tomorrow.

Mr Allen

 

Hi Mike,

I meant to ask you tonight but forgot.  Are you planning to take the class on walks to the river this year?
Thanks, Mark Andrew

Hi Mark

Definitely yes. I've got to get the permission slips home - I meant to dish them out last night, but I forgot!

Cheers,

mike

 

So is this the blog page?  If I ask a general question, will the question be read by everybody as well as the answer?  -Steph Todhunter

Hi Steph,

Yes, although it's actually a pseudo-blog because I have to cut and paste the original message into the window. Last year I only posted my general replies, but that seemed a little odd. I don't want to start an actual blog on the site. Of course, the private option is also available. I've put the link on the communicate page now, too. Thanks!

Hi Mike,
Middle School is great. We have already had 7 tests and having another one on tuesday. The homework is not that bad. What happend to hand it in, in a week. Well for projects you can do that.

Lian

Hi Lian,

Glad you're enjoying it. Seven tests! Yikes. As for the homework, I thought you had realized that the week long projects was a grade five thing. That's why I recommend doing one hour a night in preparation for Middle School, rather than doing it all at one or two times.

All the best,

mike

 

Mr. allen, dont get mad at the team they have won most of the last games. So, dont get negitive or they might lose the next game.

P.s.

I just found something called "google alerts", I just made one for the premier leauge and now google emails me all the news from the premier leauge, all the games, transfers every thing.
This is'int a very good day now is it?

Mike s.

Hi Mike,

I'm not mad, just disgusted, disappointed,  and disgruntled. I'll get over it - but these guys are paid handsomely to train, prepare, and perform. When they play like jellyfish, this is nothing to applaud, or condone, don't you think?

Mr. Allen.


 

Hi Mr.Allen,
I am a little confused on what you want us to do for the perfect world theme park.

        Iana

Hi Ilana,

Are you OK now?

Mr. Allen.

 

hi,
it's DARTH DUCKY again and i wanted to tell you that my arch enamy is the seal of Aporvale. oh, and my name is *******.

ByE.
 

Thou darest to challenge the mighty Seal, leader of the Lesion O Superheroes? Good luck to you, Ducky. You'll need it!

The Seal of Aporvale

 

Mr. Allen,

I was wondering when you were next available for me to come by on an early release day.  I saw that the next two are filled up so if it's o.k with you i'd like to put my name on the list ahead of time.

From,

Jordan

P.S. tell the owners of Snakeville that I liked their drawings and ideas.
 

Hi Jordan,

Sure thing.

Hi Mr. Allen

I just got my braces on it took two hours to get them on, very, very, boring. I cant eat almost anything, I got a list of foods I can and can't eat.

These are the only things I can ever eat for the next two years:
boneless meat, vegtables and fruit, steak cut into small pieces,and, ice cream Thats it.

See, now I'm depressed

Mike siciliano.
 

Hi Mike,

Me too, after Liverpool just crashed to the worst home defeat. They were playing like they were all asleep and just didn't care. Grrr!

Depressed Mr. Allen

 

Go the 'Pool.
MK

Cheers MK,

What an insipid bunch of losers. Sissoko needs shooting. Gerrard is increasingly awful. Arbeloa and that Leto are not fit to wear the red. Finally, Benitez, the scoundrel of the lot - is he deliberately trying to sabotage himself? Does he rotate the squad just to prove he's wrong? What about that goatee? That game, along with the last two games before Wigan were some of the worst Liverpool performances I've seen in 40 years!

Disgruntled MA

 

The sign-ups for the school talent show are starting tommorow, i think. i'm really not sure if i'm going to be in it or not. First of all, even though I have talent burstng from practically every pore, Im not sure what I would do in an act. Oh well, the viewers will simply be denied me. Too bad.
The talented yet humble diplomat, sarah r. (I still have to put the ugly r. at the end of my name because there is ANOTHER sarah in ALL my classes.honestly! if the whole world just HAD to copy my name)

Hi Sarah,

Pity, but like you say,' thems the breaks'.

Mr. Allen

 

Hi.

I am the new super villain in town. DARTH DUCKY
DON DON DONNNNN. More when we return, after the commercial.

Ahhhh, No!! Not...the dreaded Darth Ducky...No!!!! Ahhhhhh!

 

Hey Mr. Allen It's Jay

My mom was wondering on what number to reach you on so she can talk to you about the band. And I also have more bad news about the cripple thing. I scraped up my stomach and my knee going off jumps on my bike; I'm just glad it wasn't my head!

Hey, Jay (6th grade).

I'm glad it wasn't your head, too! I'll give your mom a ring later this week.

Hi mike sorry I haven't repiled yet. I did see the ruins in fact, but i was only there for three days, but right next to the hotel where we were staying was a futbol field so me and my brother played there a lot of the day playing with kids from around there. My esopañol has become muy muy bien.
The saint

Hey Saint,

Nice to hear from you. Esta bien con español. Sadly, my attempts to learn Spanish remain as weak and pathetic as ever.

You know what would be cool? If some of the kids from last year's class (Heartbeat) did a podcast, and people could download it. It could be about what middle school is like, or advice on fifth grade, or just interesting stuff that's happening in our lives.
Sincerely,
Rachel the Podcaster

 

Dear Rachel the Podcaster,

Fantastic idea!

You send it, I'll post it!

Sincerely,

mike
