So, the website is going quiet from today until September 1st, at which time 'the new look' will propagate!

For my lovely class of 2008/2009 - your work will be found from following the archive link from September 2009 onwards.

If any of you want to write to me privately, I will still get emails at the normal address, but I can only reply to your email address - I can't update this site - sorry!

You can also read my blog and write to me by following this link:

Thanks
Kathryn

Hi Kat.

Unfortunately we're not going to be able to do the early release visits this time. We've had a really difficult time with students being sick - we really need two days of intense rehearsal if we're going to do anything on Tuesday evening! I hope you understand!

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr.Allen,
i'm sick and it's not fun at ALL. I'm very sad and i wish i could be working on the concert. but i can't so i'll see everyone soon and get back to work and have fun and be happy!

It's sad to be sick,
Maddi

Poor thing!

Mr. A.

 

Wednesday June 17th

Adam can't come because of his graduation party. so sad. well, see you tomorrow-hopefully...

Lorax

Hope you feel better.

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr. Allen,
Sean will have 9 people attending the show on the 23rd. I hope everyone is feeling better by then.
Thank you,
Dawn

Which show are you aiming at?

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr. A
I wish I did not have the flue and I could be working on the play but I have to stay out for a WEEK!. Julia said that 8 kids were not in school yesterday! I heard we will have to change the play. I hope I'm back in school by Monday.
Bye Elianna

Feel better!

Mr. A.

Mr. A.

 

Hi. i just got home i havn't been home all day(not counting the morning.) i went to the dentists and i got one of those snap bracelets that snap onto your hand and snap straight.

Lorax

P.S. i have no cavities!

Well done!

Mr. A.

 

Monday June 15th

You know what. I'm not going to print the posters until the verdict on Wednesday. Because chances are I'm going to have to change it if we do the music thing.

-Philip

True.

Mr. A.

 

hi mr.allen, I have a bit more pictures to put up right now, only eight or so, but they might be upside-down. I was wondering if you would be able to fix that, and also I don't know the best way to get them to you. I have a lot more new ones that have yet to be scanned so I will try to get those on as well.
Jordan

You should attach them in an email. Note that the website will be going on a summer vacation from next Wednesday through to September. Glad you're still working away on your art. I look forward to seeing your latest efforts.

Mr. A.

 

My mom is O.K. now. i feel so bad about Ms.Davis who died.

the Lorax

Glad your mom is better.

It's a very sad thing about Ms. Davis, isn't it? How fragile is this life!

Mr. A.

 

Sunday June 14th

things are going so wrong right now. my mom is in the hospital because of a gulblater problem. she has to get sugary and stay over night for it. my dad is over at the hospital and has been there the whole day and still isn't home. i was going to go to new hampshire to stay over at my friend Clair's house and now i can't. and i still don't have that STUPID BOBBLE HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing is going right for me.

The Lorax

I hope your mom is feeling better. Life has its ups and downs, doesn't it? Hang on tight and remember the words to, 'I can see clearly now'!

Mr. A.

 

heey i just wanted you to read this article . its on http://insidemedford.com/ .   one of the math teacher (ms.davis) passed away. she had a heart attack in class. she was very well loved by everyone, even if they had her or not.  she will be in our hearts forever<3


                            reyna

Very sad news. Thanks for this link, Reyna.

Mr. A.

 

Friday June 12th

can i come to the show at 730

mike s

Sure.

Mr. A.

 

Hi, I was wondering if you could reserve two seats for Lizzy and I at the 6 o'clock show? We probably won't have time to sit around and 'chat', since we'll be in a bit of a rush, but we wanted to see the play anyway. That's all. Bye.
Rachel
p.s. In your message to 'MVS' you spoke of Jared and I as seventh graders. Correction: School is out for me (don't you love private schools?), so technically I'm not in eighth grade. Just wanted to point that out.

Sure. Obviously, I will be seating the families of the students first. Then all the graduates who show up will be welcomed, whatever grade they're currently in. :)

Hope you're doing well!

Mr. A.

 

 

 

Wednesday June 10th

Hey Mr. Allen

Ugggghhhh i'm so mad cause i cant go to the show!!!!! i have to go to my brothers graduation ceremony!!! Byeeee!
-eRiN

Never mind, eh? Your brother's graduation is important.

Mr. A.

 

it's so funny how people think you have a HUGE English accent. Adam is learning how to play Wonderwall (by oasis) on the guitar and the guy who sings it had a HUGE HUGE HUGE English accent. he also sings really funny. his voice is all croaky and loud. did you ever have an accentier English accent?

The Lorax

The chap from Oasis is also from Manchester!

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr.,
you know how i told you about that band Dragonforce well here's a vid of one of the two guitar players he's amazing

Excellent. Thanks!

Mr. A.

 

Mike,
how come ur class this year got 2 do da shelta project and our class didnt??? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Ze angry Patricia :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Oh, you know how it is!

Mr. A.

 

Hey mike,

I haven't been on the site in soo long! Everyhting's changed! All the kid's pages have evolved so much. When we were in fifth grade, we just put our work up on a page with a logo that we designed but now all the kids have blogs and everything! I have to figure out when I can come down to the school to see you. Mr. Paci's still there right? That would be soooo weird if he wasn't! He still hasn't signed my yearbook and its been three years. At our cast party the other day, we watched our play that Ms. Grant taped and I got sooo mad! During the part when I run onstage and scream, they don't even show me, you can only hear me. It only shows everyone passing teh mug shots. There are no words to help you comprehend how upset I was. (well I wasn't that upset but it was a total bummer) They didn't even show me when I said my other line either. I'll get over it. Eventually.

MVS

P.S. On the archives page, the Heartbeat soundtrack/ cd thingy, which class is that? Some of the voices sound really farmilliar. It might just be me but daydreamer sounded a lot like jared and then It's not ok sounded like Rachel. Were they even in the same class? Maybe I'm hallucinating, maybe not.

Hi MVS!

Great show the other night! Sorry about the video, but I saw you do your lines and so did at least 300 others - and you were brilliant!! 'Heartbeat' was performed by the current 7th grade which did indeed feature Rachel and Jared - there is an information page for the songs.

Lovely to see you!

mike

ps. I'll get the Acting101 to you if it kills me!

 

Tuesday June 9th

Hi Mike!
Im not 'sick' anymore, I was just tired from the past few days (all the running around). Anyway... did u go 2 da play? I f u did... thanx for comin'! See u tomorrow!

:)♥Patricia♥:)

Excellent. See you then!

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr. Allen!
I don't think I will be able to come on Wednesday - I'm sick!
Patricia is too, or at least was yesterday. I am not at school so I can't tell if she's there or not. I am going to miss studying for the finals, but of course, not the finals themselves, I am going to miss our Ancient Civilization party, AND our field trip to the Boston Harbor. I'm really angry. ARGH. Bye!
-Talia

P.S
I'm gonna go to you guys' show!

Thanks for letting me know. Hope you feel better. Good luck with 'finals'!

Mr. A.

 

Mr.Coats said to sign his class up for seeing our show. i don't know when he wants to see it. you can talk to him about it. he just told me to tell you to get his class to see our show.

The Lorax

Why don't you organize the whole thing for us? You could find out who wants to come and invite them all. We'll talk tomorrow!

Mr. A.

 

Sunday June 7th

Lorax

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mike,
It's me (again) (Kathryn) my family and I have an extra ticket for the school play, (Thoroughly Modern Millie) On Saturday and were wondering if you like to come?? If so let us know, the show starts at seven.
Kathryn
P.s Check out my Ning blog it's awesome.
PPS Can i come to the end of the year show?

Great show last night. Of course you can come to our show. See you on the early release day!

Mr. A.

Bye
Kathryn

Mr. A.

 

Hey Mr. Allen,
There's thirteen and a half days of school left.(Well, that is if u count the last day of school a half day) WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! The music group is so much fun. We're making some awesome acid tracks, using those cool libraries u showed us. Also, some of the people in the group have written some pretty cool songs over the past couple of days. I think the people on the Dystopia set r doing good.
C u in school.
$ean
: )

I agree with all your comments.

See you on Monday!

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr. Allen,

Monday June 1st

Had a little problem with the website, which is now resolved. Here are the messages since May 27th...

hey Mr.Allen!!

Grace is over!!

here's her messege. (for once she won't just say, "Hi Mr.Allen!! lol sorry Grace...heehee.)

Grace:

Hey Mr.Allen.....lollollollol

Courtney!! :D

Hi girls. Are you having fun?

Mr. A.

 

my mom is helping with the luau at the moving on ceremony and she was getting some prizes free and we got an Austin Powers bobble head. it is soooooooooo funny. it looks really really odd. i hope i can bring it in tomorrow.

Lorax
hahahahahaha

Me too! Wait till you see the fabrics I bought, talking of funny!

Mr. A.

 

Mr. allen
I think the Once Ler is right. Being a person on the set it is very confusing when people start a gob and don't get it done and move on to the next. I think we sould stay in groups for a least a full day so that people can get the set and songs done. I also think that we sould have a time at the end of the day where we talk about what we did in each group. That would mean that the story people will be able to share what they have come up with at the end of the day and not in the middle so it dose not get people confsed.

Please take thease notes in mind,
Elianna

Let's discuss first thing tomorrow. You might be right!

Mr. A.

 

Mr.Allen,

I think that its about time that people find a group and stay in it . I mean that every one is just doing stuff without telling people which ends up looking terible. So i think for the sake of finishing stuff and comunication we should find a definate group. that during SHOW NIGHT they fell comfortabe in.


-The Once Ler

Let's discuss first thing tomorrow. You might be right!

Mr. A.

 

omg im looking thru the year book and i miss eevery onee ! !

$christelle$

Yeah, I want to. I keep leaving it at school! How long do I have left?

Mr. A.

 

I was doing some research and found a book called ‘Evil Genes’. The Top secret character in our play could use it as a prop.

You’re Welcome.

Insincerely, The Once-ler


To save you the trouble, :)

What's with the waggle head tone? You need to bring it down a notch, Mr. Bossy-Pants!

:]

Your mom wrote to me - I'm going to get in contact with her. Thanks for the idea, Izzy!

Mr. A.

 

I saw Courtney at soccer practice. it's funny how people look so different outside of school then they do inside of school. Coolio isn't it?

Lorax

Sometimes!

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr. Allen!
It's Talia! I was wondering if I could come to your class on June 10th 'cause we have a half day. Will you guys be working on the show? I know Peachs is going. Thanks!
-Talia
P.S

Mr. A.

 

hey!!

i'm writing from Lauren Gomez's house cuz we're having an open house at our house cuz we're selling it....and they're away so they said we could stay here till the open house is done.....cuz were, (for some reason) not allowed at our house while the open house is going on. since we're right next door, we saw people looking in our backyard. a LOT of people came and are still coming. but anyway, we saw these really earthy-crunchy people. they said some stuff then i heard the realiter say, "So ur not interseted?," and then i heard the earthy-crunchy people say, "no. it's not good enough for us," and i thought to myself, look at your selfs!! how can this house not be good enough for you. (i think it wasn't earthy-crunchy enough for them...lol!!)

Courtney

Good luck with the whole house thing.

Mr. A.

 

SOME OF THE PEPOLE ON THE CANDYrats are AMAZING!!!!!!!!
eliANNA

I agree!

Mr. A.

 

Saturday, May 23rd

Dear Mr.Allen,
what's the guitarist's name that we watched in class?
Sincerelly, John.

Andy McKee. Search for 'Candyrat Records' at Youtube or 'RPoland' to get zillions of amazing acoustic guitar players.

Check out his song 'Drifting'...

 

Mr. A.

 

I really have nothing to say.

Lorax

Clearly you do! :)

Mr. A.

Bye!

Lorax
i should just say Laura because then maybe Philip will stop being the Once-ler.

I'll help you with that lyric problem today. Sorry about your water situation. A lucky escape!

Mr. A.

 

I was driving around in a limo because my godmother was graduating( I know I speeled that tottaly wrong) froma school because she was studing to become a docter, and now she is a docter named Dr. Battle.( her last name is battle). Thats way I was driving around in a limo. Is it cool or what? Have u ever been in a limo since you know, your fantastically rich?
P.S I finally got that book that book I siad was great for u to read.
P.S.S I'll bring it in tommorow.
$christelle$

How exciting. Oddly enough, despite my fantastic wealth and riches I have not driven in a limo before. Maybe I should buy a fleet, eh? Congratulations to Dr. Battle!

Mr. A.

 

mr.allen

today was one of the wierdsts days of my life i woke up and 6:00 and it killed to move my neck. my parents called the doctors office but it had been 15 minutes and they still hadn't called with any info. THen it got to the point wwhere it was unbearable. so my parrents called 911. i couldn't get out of bed so they took me by strecher. and then i realized i was on my first ambulance ride. i got there and they decied to inject this relaxing medicine into my arm. they spread it out over about 5 minutes each.so every 5 minutes they put in more for about 25 minutes. then they took xrays which where negtaive. then i got home and after about 1 hour at my house i threw up. i'm feeling better and hopefully i will be in school.
Jeremy

Holy cow - what a drag of a day! I wonder what it was? Weird. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now. Yikes! You missed the most exciting day EVER in school. Bet you can guess what we did all day! Except for a classic soccer match, and a look at deep sea creatures it was a typical MCAS Monday!

Mr. A.

 

Sunday, May 17th

like OMT i went on a limo today for the frist time.Itt's like a once in a lifetime chance, except for the fact i'll go in one again for a porm. u should have been there it had to tv's and a radio, water. It even had wine, but i didnt get to drink any. We also had to pass by some stores like Coscos I think it was nd supper stop and shop. Everyone was looking at us once we got off the limo. i gotta admit I'd be staring too if i say someone getting off a limo a store. I was so, so, so, so, so, so, so,so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so,so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so,so, awsome.
$christelle$
P.s. i took my braids off so i look different.

Sounds like an exciting day! So why were you driving around in a limo? I'm glad you had such a good time!

Mr. A.

 

yay! you changed the picture on the home page. yeah. i like it now. is it the first one you put up there? (I mean after the sunrise one.)

Lorax

Glad you like it. I took the picture last week.

Mr. A.

 

why would you want to take a saying that somebody said, and say it. lol. i just make (most) things i say up. if you make ur own things up, that makes you clever...haha!! : )

~Courtney

You mean like 'lol', 'haha', and ' :) '?

lol. :)

Mr. A.

 

hi Mr. A

just wanted to say that every has to vote for my play idea The last day of school* or they will be cursed. from george

OK then.

Mr. A.

 

Ba Humbug to Philip! he doesn't know what he's doing being the Once-ler. the Once-ler is a horrible horrible person- or thing- or whatever it is. notice i said IT. it is an IT. the once-ler doesn't care about the environment, all he cares about is himself!!!! That's the once-ler not Philip.

Lorax

OK then.

Mr. A.

 

didn't u say to us that u got that "cry me a river" saying from the girl is your class 2 years ago Rachel???

Yes.

Mr. A.

Sunday, May 3rd

i did it! after a long time of playing around with chords i found the right sequence! it had the perfect melody and perfect sound and when you play it and hear the high notes with the low one it sounds heavenly! i loooooooovvveeeeeee it !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lorax☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺

Well done! Will you play it in school, I wonder?

Mr. A.

Yo M.A.r.llen,
How goes it? I got some more recomendations for you. First, to the books. A phenominal trilogy is the Bartimeus trilogy. Funny, intresting and exploring some really cool parts of goverernment. Okay, I know I just made it sound really bad, but it's not. And if you nly read the first or second, you're a loser, because you really need to read all of them to get it. Such a good, sad ending. Second, one of my favorite authors Suzzane Collins writes both 'The Hunger Games' and 'The Underland Cronicles'. Giant rats V.S. humans, spiders and other oversized creatures, all with some ordinary kid cauught up on it all. What could be more fun. Now, by the incredibly charming, good looking and funny kid (a.k.a. me) is in the middle of writing a book. No idea whjat I'm going to call it, but it's one of my favorite books I've ever writen myself. I'll send it to you when I'm done.
Now to the sci-fi shows. First, Neil Gaimen, bestselling author, wrote a six part T.V. show in 1996 called 'Never Where'. He later made it into a book, but I just watched the show. My mom read the book, said I would love it, and so we watched it. So good. However, it is in desperate need of a sequel, and it shows all of the blood. Plus it shows people eating rats. Sort of wierd. Really good. Rumors of a Maximum Ride movie, but I don't know when (if you haven't aready, read those books). I gotta go. See ya!
Moose Boy
P.S. Primeval season three is out!

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll look forward to reading your meister work! Any clues? Genre? People eating rats? Poor rats! I'm ready for more Primeval, too!

See you soon mighty Moose Boy.

Mr. A.

 

i think one of the resons i like to write is because i like the feeling of writing on paper. i just love it. well. that's all for now.

Lora

Me too!

Mr. A.

 

for once i can't think of something to write about.

Lorax

:(

Mr. A.

 

there are only three witnesses. only three. only three who heard what hapened on the bus. only three. and those three witnesses are Bread, Arctic and Ron. only them are the witnesses. only them...

Lorax.

you have no idea what i'm talking about do you?

No.

Mr. A.

 

Happy Birthday, Mr.Allen!!!!

Maddi

Thanks Maddi!

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mike!
I made a HUGE mistake! We have play practice on the 6th of May. So I was thinking the 10th of June.. if that is okay with you!

See Ya!!!
Patricia

Sure - but we will be working on a Show by that time in June - so you know what to expect!

Mr. A.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno%27s_paradoxes

Acording to the page above question '6' on the math homework is not posibble. The ball would keep on bouncing through out eterty. Plus when are you going to talk about my paper saving idea to the class??? hope you got the monkey pics

-Philip

I told you about Zeno's paradox! It doesn't apply to the math problem. We already talked about your paper idea! I didn't get the monkey pics. - can't you send them to me?

Mr. A.

 

OHMYGODNESS . no way adam was in the bottom three....... uhhhh ive been sooo busy !!!!!!!!! but ivee been watching american idol and i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE the top 4 !!!!!! yeeaaa well i must go sooooo byee !

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr.Allen,
I just got back from dentist and the dentist told me that there were some way that you could see if you had a disease from DNA. It was weird because when one of the densists helpers did the same DNA projet when she was little that we did today.
Bye Elianna

Which dentist?

Mr. A.

 

Ha! while Jeremy and connor are stuffing their faces with ice cream, i'm being good and reading! so ha to them!

Lorax

:)

Mr. A.

 

have you ever read the book by Dr.suess called The Lorax? well the Lorax is very enviormentaly friendly. he speaks for the trees. yeah.

Lorax

But I guess he doesn't spell-check, or use capital letters regularly!

Mr. A.

 

Gee, I just watched The match and 1-0 oh my! I can not imaging the suspense for the revanche..
Good luck!
Alexandra

I think you misunderstand. My team are already out!

Mr. A.

 

hey. i am soooo hot right now. i am dieing. it's just so humid.

Laura >:o

That was yesterday, I'm guessing!

Mr. A.

 

Mr.Allen

Please mention RNA when we are talking about DNA. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Every one thinks DNA is so great, but it's RNA that makes it work. Humf and pluss DNA gets all the glory :(


-THEE Philip

Your wish is my command!

Mr. A.

 

hey! why did you say "see you on the internet" at school at the end of the day? how did you know i would write today? maybe nothing interesting happened today and there was nothing to write about.... okay you are right there is stuff to talk to you about. i played baseball today. isn't that weird. well. it turns out i'm pretty good. pretty ugly, isn't it one of those oximorons. it is not a moron. hahaha. i had a burito pie for dinner. it was gooood. much better than the burito egg thing at lunch. well, bye!

Laura

(i haven't desided a new name yet)

I had chicken surprise for 'dinner'. I call it 'chicken surprise' to be ironic - it's exactly the same every time, and I eat it most every day! Now that's weird, even potentially moronic, though not especially oxy!

Mr. A.

Hi Mr. Allen,

It's me Christian, the thing about Austria was me. I recently found out i'm 12.5% Austrian, and I now annoy my mom by introducng it into conversations. I hope you had a good vacation, i did. Have you seen the news about the swine flu? It is very scary!

See ya,
Christian

Sorry if i am annoying you, just wanted to say hi.

Austria is ze best country in the world.

An Austrian

(Watch out for swine flu, it could become a pandemic)

noilaeh naitsirhc

I knew it was you - as was able to see through your fiendish code, believe it or not! You're never annoying to me!

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mike this is Kathryn
I just started the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy omnibus. (From the library) It has the Hitchhikers guide, the restaurant @ the end of the universe and a 3 other books. Have you read them are they good? I saw someone reading them on the way to england thanx

P.S. Dunno If you knew this or not but the Andrew's Middle School Play is Thoroughly Modern Millie
Kathryn

Sweet. I hope the play is good fun to work on. I think the radio play of the Hitch Hikers Guide was especially amusing!

Mr. A.

 

Hey Mr.A!

Sunday April 26th

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I haven't been writing back to you last week.
I couldn't do website stuff until today - I've been away from home, you see.
Hope you've had a good vacation.
See you tomorrow,
Mr. A.

Hiya, i'm sitting around having my blood boil in my house that has been taken over by the evil modern art. I am trapped by west medford open studios. at least that open studios stuff goes away tommorrow. I had a soccer game yesterday in the boiling heat in wilmington. we lost 3-1, but at least it wasn't 3-0.
-Simon

oh, forgot to tell everybody who plays "the game". I lost the game. HAHAHAHA!
-Simon

it is over! Yaay! WMOS (west medford open studios) is over! my house is free! Yay! I lost the game!
-simon

p.s. Have you ever had your house transformed into an art gallery for two or three days before?

Yes I have - though I am usually the artist responsible!

Mr. A.

 

 

 

Laura's messages: Laura has written a collection of messages. If anyone ever needed a Twitter account it's this wonderful student of mine. Laura: you're the most fabulous!! So here are Laura's messages all gathered together....

on friday my mom and I were saying Didlysquat a lot. we even made up a story where this princess who loved that word but she and the towns people didn't know what it ment so the princess went on a jurney to find rumplestiltskin who had told her the word. and the princess brought a lot of toothbrushes. and in the end she found Rumplestiltskin and she asked him and he said "you don't know didlysquat!" and laughed. it was a good story.

Laura Ω

P.S. (whispering) Didlysquat means nothing! snicker snicker snicker.

Don't talk such diddlysquat! Balderdash! Poppycock!

Mr. A.

 

wow. i just ate breakfast and i hadn't eaten before that and i was soooooo tiered and my head hurt but when i ate i was all better. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

Laura ◙

If you're the one being eaten, I don't suppose it matters what time of day it is - it's the most important meal of your life!

Mr. A.

 

I'll write to you anyway. Where are you going in the summer?

Laura♣


Europe! Where are you going?

Mr. A.

whats your favorite color?

Laura☺

Blue. What's yours?

Mr. A.

hi! sorry i haven't written in a while but i was in New Hampshire. My mom and I hiked up Mt. Eisenhower. but sadly we didn't make it to the top because there was at least 5 feet of snow and it was steep and we were going up hill. so we came down and it was so steep going down that we slid down some parts. yeah. well, Bye!

Laura☻

i made up a poem. it's very interesting. my friend Irene and i were talking about it in the car earlier today. here it is:

first you don't care,
then you are scared,
then you like it,
lastly you write it.

thank you.
it's about liking things and the steps you take to liking something. at that time Irene and I were talking about names. it was the name Gretchin. first Irene didn't think about it. then she hated it, then she liked it very much, then she wrote it in storys and in her book of books. she has this book with like a million pages in it and on every page she puts the cover of a book. she makes them up. i've done a few myself. one was called One After Two. yeah... well, bye!

ΓLaura

 I think Gretchen is a horrid and awful name. An evil name. A murderous name. A plain ugly old brown river of a name. Wait...It's starting to get prettier. By gosh, it's working! I love the name now! You were right! Whoo hoo!

Mr. A.

hee hee hee. wow! ha ha ha. my friend Irene is so funny. i like cookies. this is not random by the way. oo. what is the long o sound?

£aura

moon, hoot, shoot, etc...

you really need to check your messeges more. it's been a week and no answers.

Laura

Hi Laura,
You're the one who doesn't check their messages!
I'm sorry I haven't been writing to you.
I can't do website stuff until Sunday - I'm away from home, you see.
Hope you're having a good vacation.
See you soon,
Mr. A.

i just came back from the science museum! it was sooooooo cool! i saw the frog exibit. and it was really interesting. i also got to touch a sheep's lungs and heart. it was soooooooooooooooooooooooo awsome!

Laura♣♠♥♦ snicker snicke

Was the sheep alive when you started? Did you have to stick your arm down the sheep's throat? Did it gag? Sounds absolutely messy...

Mr. A.

happy patriots day! i didn't see the reenactment in Lexington. and I'm not going to see Paul Revere ride his horse down high street. I'm a horrible patriot. And after all we did on the revolution!

Laura‼

Tut tut!

Mr. A.

(just to let you know, this is Laura) i need a pen name when i write to you. Laura is to normal. what about Rocket Wire. or pizza Monster. or maybe Water & fire. no... i got it... night eagle.

or i could just be the walrus.

Laura...or the walrus...or...

How about Rocket Monster? Pizza Wire? Night Rocket? Wire Eagle?

Mr. A.

 

today i went on a bird watch...or is it a bird walk. well, anyway i went with my friend Georgia and there was this pond and we dipped our feet into it and it was sooooooo cold. our feet got so numb.

Laura ♠

P.S. I'm writing a lot of messages because i didn't write yesterday. the internet wasn't working.

Bet you didn't see many birds - when you got cold feet about bird watching! haha!

Mr. A.

hi! in 'i am the walrus' song it says something about Edger Allen Poe. have you read the poem by him called the raven. 'once upon a midnight dreary while i pondered weak and weary'. you know... well it has like 20 stanzas. well bye!

Laura ♣

Yes I have read it. Have you read his Tales of Mystery and Imagination?

Mr. A.

why didn't we have the airplane buddies yesterday?

Laura☺

Why isn't the sky green?

Mr. A.

now my desktop is the two polar bears...

Laura ◙◘ i am still the walrus...

I suggest using a wooden table is better for a desk - bears tend to spoil your handwriting when they move while you write!

Mr. A.
 

there is PEMA. oo...i got one! AMPE! it's like amp...amplifier...you know...
Well, there is MAPE. what does that sound like?

Laura
P.S. you say i don't write enough. well, to me i'm writing too much.

 

bread and i have had our talk and we say we should get in touch with bobert. did you know that bobert backwards is trebob. thats like treebob! isn't that funny. do you think this is a good idea? if so, say so...

§Laura§

No.

Mr. A.

mr.allen, yes we eat animals, but if they had the chance, other animals would eat us. like that polar bear and a lion.

Laura

Hamsters wouldn't!

Mr. A.


hi my name is laura and i want to be free,
i'm stuck in a zoo and i'm going crazy!☺

Hey Laura, I'm going to move all your messages into a special page attached to your blog. What do you think? Good idea?

Mr. A.

yes i would like to have a page with all my messeges on it but not all of them. i want you to write back to some. at least...

Laura ◘

Happy now?

Mr. A.

i started the book walk two moons. it is really good. (if you got my messege that i sent about two minutes ago then i want this to go on the replies to messeges page. but if you didn't than never mind.) it is a story inside of a story. i once started a story like that. it was about an italian kid who's name was Marco.

Laura

Great book!

Mr. A.

 

by was i mean is. i just wrote it a long time ago.
Laura

What?

Mr. A.

Tuesday, April 14th

mmm, that dinner was gooood. well, here is the dream: so, you know that security room next to the front door of the school? well, the dream took place in there exept the room was much bigger. well, the whole fifth grade was in the room and there were computers all over the place and you were there and you had brought your vidio games and everyone started to play them. but i didn't want to play any of the games you had brought so i started to play this cartoon game that had a million levels. then there was this guy in a motercycle helmet. well, that's my dream. short and sweet. and there's more coming!

LAurA

Why wouldn't you play my games? They were educational and cool! Humph!

Mr. A.

 

if i write to you too much and tell you everything then i won't have anything to tell you at school. then what's the point?

I've gotten much better at writing my name and typing. woo hoo. i'm clean now. yay. though i've been clean the other days. i was just at soccor practice and i fell and got all dirty dirty. i remembered another one of my dreams. you were in it. i'll send you another messege whith the dream in it because it doesn't feel right to do it all now in one messege.
Laura
Dinner time! oo pasta

Gosh, you think you're gonna run out of stuff so easily? I've been talking with my favorite friends for years, and we always have something to talk and write about!

Don't you love getting dirty? Rolling in the mud! Love it!

Sweet dreams!

Mr. A.

 

Hi Mr. Allen.
It's Rachel.
You know, the one from Heartbeat.
I don't know if there have been any other Rachels in your class since then, but just in case.
Gah I can't type today so don't be surprised if this message is littered with typos.
Just saying hi.
I've been really busy this year, so sorry for not writing.
I agree with Leila. That'd be slightly creepy to hear people singing Jared's raps...
So right now for a sport I'm in track because surprisingly I'm actually kind of fast...I'm horrible at sprints, though. I'm a miler!
Sooo I don't know what else to say so I think I'm going to ramble.
Right now I'm reading Freakonomics for like the bajillionth time. It's kind of amazing.
Oh your current class sends you way too many messages in my opinion. We never sent that many!
Jared is my favorite, by the way. He's kind of the man.
I'm still pursuing singing, though perhaps not as much as before. I sing in the school jazz band with my friend and I am also in an a cappella group for school.
So I think that's all.
Just wondering how you were.
Bye!
Rachel (who has outgrown the 'oh-so-fabulous' part)

Hi Fabulous One (- you might have grown out of it, but I haven't!)

Lovely to hear from you. Which Jared is 'the man'? Our old Jared, or the new Jared? The new Jared is a particularly delightful chap, as I guess you know already!

I'm pleased that you're still singing. You are  a very talented person with lots of things at which you excel - but I think your potential as a singer is pretty much 'the sky is the limit'! If you want to outgrow something, I'd suggest the diffidence you used to exhibit around singing. It's not a crime to be fabulous, and I think you really are! I know you were always being ironic about this stuff, but I wasn't, and I'm not now!

What do I care what they say? - I like the truth, unvarnished!

Next year, normal service will be resumed on after school music projects with selected students. If you were interested, there would always be a spot for you! (Next year, we can have the classes at the school rather than at my house, since I now have a full studio at school 24/7 - much easier, and much better!)

Keep in contact with your fabalicious exploits!

Mr. A. 

 

we didn't see mike the headless chicken today. it's funny, you and the chicken have the same name. are you really a headless chicken?

Laura♣♦♠♥

Mr. A.

Well done!

Mr. A.

 

why don't the mesegges i send to you come up the same day i send them?

Laura♀♥

This one did! I've been busy - what can I tell you?

Mr. A.

 

Mr. Allen
I do not think that you gave us homework over Easter. Are you giving it to us on Monday?
Elianna

I guess you know the answer to this now!

Mr. A.

 

hmm... i need to tell you this dream i had a couple nights ago. ok, here it is: i was living in this really modern house and i had some sort of sickness so i had to be in this really big glass box that was kept on a truck outside. it was weird. then, somehow i was inside and i had two dogs. one was a pug and the other was a sheepdog. i was like a desiner and i was going around the kitchen and livingroom moving chairs around and things like that. well, that was my dream. weird. why would i have a pug?

Laura

PS i was at my cousins house and they had these chickens and they are just two weeks old and they are sooooooooooo cute. one is named sacagawea because it had a little brown spot on it's head so it looked like a bindi. so my aunt said we should name it an indian name so my cousin who is 16 said sacagawea. even though it isn't an indian name.

PSS i relised that i write to you so much because so much is going on and i need to tell you.

I love the fact you write to me! Isn't that dream interesting, especially when you think about how the day started? I wish I could remember my dreams as clearly as you do - I do remember them really clearly - for about ten minutes!

Mr. A.

Mr. A.

 

Friday, April 10th

just a few minutes ago i was getting a suitcase out of a closet (i am going to my cousins house) and i stepped backwards to get out of the closet (the closet is really big) and i stepped on a piece of wood that had broken off of a crate. i stepped on the end and in the end there were those wood staples sticking up! i got staples up my heal! luckaly i was wearing slipers so the staple didn't go through all the way but they went through the sliper! now i can't walk that well and it is bleading a lot. but i'm okay.

Laura

Oh no!!! What an utter drag!

Mr. A.

 

Mr.Allen

How much is the bonus for the best kept bank record that you mentioned at the beginning of the project?

- Thee Philip

Gosh, you're so competitive. Who would have guessed? I love it! Anyway, since we spoke about your excel spreadsheet on the bus, I guess the latest plan is in the open, again. I love the way you approached all this work for the project!

Mr. A.

 

OMG HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT THE STANDING OVATION!?!??!??!?? THAT WAS LIKE SOO AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGG LIKE 4 REAL.


reyna

Well I thought it was OK - but there were a couple of timing things that I thought were awkward. Does this make me even more harsh than Cowell?

Mr. A.

 

now is the ocation

Laura ↑↓

Huh?

Mr. A.

 

Heeeeeyy

im so bored right now so i will tell you about my soccer tournament. we won the first two games so we went to the finals. we were down 2-0 in the finals then i got a goal but we ended up losing in the finals. ya. thats reallly all.

Reynaa

Hi Maddi!

Mr. A.

 

I'm not going to stop beaing random !

IzZy

P.S. hahahahahahahahahaha muh hahahahahaaha!

Fair enough!

Mr. A.

 

guess what?
after you say "what" this is what I'll say: today is the first day of passover!!!!!!!! yea!!!!!!!!it rules! why do we only get to eat wonderful food only once a year?

Laura

P.S. i don't listen to music a lot because the songs i really like to listen to i already know by heart.

I don't know about the food, but as for the music: Laura, there are vast World's of music out there. Some truly magical music that will change your life is sitting there waiting for you to discover it! Music is exploration!

Mr. A.

 

OMG ADAM ON AMERICAN IDOL SANG MAD WORLD AND IT WAS LIKE NO JOKE THE BEST THING EVER EXCEPT THAT OTHER THING THAT HE SANG BUT YA. (: i love adam L (:

mr.a

my grandfather is a police officer and he has a lot of guns and the thing that is awsome is that he found 1,500 bullets to his 22 rifle and i get to shoot it!!!!

Jared =)

I'm glad you're with a cop for this activity. Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid!

Mr. A.

 

Whoo! i had to clean my room today. i HATE cleaning. do you know the three Rs? they are Reading, Righting, and Rithmatic! i am listning to music. i NEVER do that. exept of the ocational ocation. well... bye!

Laura

You never listen to music? Really? I'm shocked!

Mr. A.

 

me my mom and my brother brogan are watching a video of my brothers school teachers riding donkeys and playing basketball at the same time. hilarious.

:)~gracie~:)

Don't ask! If you ever saw me fall off the camel in west Africa (much to Mr. Paci's amusement!), you know that you'll never get me to do that!

Mr. A.

 

if you have 30 people in your class and each one brings in 100 pieces of paper for a hw asinment you still wont be wasting 5000 pieces of paper

AND THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

srry to burst ur bubble philip but the smertest pers0n ever just corectd u!

MIchael s
 

Funny you should mention about the math - we talked about that today. Philip explained his reasoning: He's thinking about the whole school, not just the one class. He said he added a few more on to make his point more forcefully.

I think the quality of your spelling in the message tends to challenge your final assertion. I mean, you are an incredibly bright and talented chap, but perhaps humility isn't yet your forte!

Mr. A.

 

 

Monday, April 6th

Mr. Allen

I have noticed that around 5,000 pieces of paper are wasted every week just for homework! If you stopped giving out the home work on paper and mainly on the internet (exception for those without) we could save about 230 of those pieces of paper. I mean even if you recycled them, the recycle plants still produce emissions, and plus half of the paper you recycled turns into those emissions. I think you should put this into effect ASAP. Think of the trees we would save. We could start putting a little bit more effort into saving the earth. Maybe we could even find other ways to make our room green and maybe make some green $! If we can save 230 pieces of paper each week on something that two people are ever going to look at, imagine what else we could do!

- ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΣ (Philip)

Philip,

Excellent idea. Not sure about your math, but the central point is well made. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Think about what difficulties we might come across and see if you can have some solutions ready.

Mr. A.

 

hey mr.a. i got a new bike today! its pink.
:)~gracie~:)

Sweet!

Mr. A.

 

Mr.Allen to answer the question that Laura said there is a song called today it's by the Smashing Pumpkins.

Wednesday, April 1st

what play did the class three years ago do? that was my brother's class.

Laura

'Somewhere Else than Home' and 'Undercity'.

Mr. A.

 

laura sends more messages by herself then all the other 5th graders put together.

i r LOLing

mike s.

True!

Mr. A.

 

does gum actualy help you work better? if it does, then why don't they let you chew it every day? i really don't think it helps. they say when you move your mouth around or something it helps you consentrate, but why don't you just move your mouth around your self? it doesn't make sence?

Laura

P.S. I looked back at the replies to messeges and i write at least once a day every day! he was right.

I don't think it does anything except increase dentist's profits!

Mr. A.

 

Mr.A,

I only wrote 60 words on what they ate in the revolution. is that enough?
your Confused friend George

Check out the rubric!

Mr. A.
