Hello Sarah... Mr. A.
Hi Mr allen, Give it your best shot - but don't worry about it! Mr. A.
Mr. Allen, It says to use a half circle protractor and I don't have
one. What should I do? Either cut out the one from the sheet, or take one home from school. Mr. A.
Tuesday, March 9th
heey mr.allen.....

Hey Mr. Allen! You're welcome. I'll explain again about the Thanks Page tomorrow! Mr. A.

page......................................Go figure? Patience! Mr. A.
Good cd Cheers! Mr. A.
Hey Mr. Allen, Thanks Sean. Starting again Tuesday! Mr. A.
OW. I'm in New Hampshire in the house we're building and i went up
to my room to look at my new headboard and my light switches were
taken off so they were hanging out and all the metal was exposed.
since it was dark, i didn't see the light switch so i stupidly
grabbed both of the metal wires and i got electrocuted. it tingled
and didn't hurt much but the shock made me cry and laugh at the same
time. Oh no. What a terrible story (I could have said 'shocking' but that would be too cheesy even for me, since you did get hurt!) Mr. A.
I just finished the play well bye. Did it go well? Mr. A.
Hi Mr. Allen its Cj i'm feeling alot better, although i'm on cruches,see you monday. What a drag! Care on the Stair - could be a song! Mr. A.
Friday, March 5th
Are you starting the spy mission soon after the complete failure
last year :( Who can say? Mr. A.

of this family, and the little boy too!!! now Jonny Depp and some
other guy are fighting the headless horsman. this is a good movie.it
IS kinda gross that they show you all the heads that get cut off. i
would so love to be in that movie!earlier today i had cow toung(the
thing that is in your mouth, i don't care if i spell it wrong) and
it was gooood. well, got to go! bye! Yuck - both for the movie and for the tongue! Mr. A.
hi ma allen it is camila how long does your rube goldberg have to be. As long as it is, I guess! Mr. A.
Hi Mr. Allen! When I try to listen to one of the songs on our cd, the songs are all from last year. I don't know why!? -Sarah But you do know now! Mr. A.

Hi Mike, Mr. Simon has let me know that I can't go April 1st due to MCAS. I'm going to try to rebook for April 15th. I'll let you know! mike

Hi there, Yes you can! I can't make the show - I already have plans for both Friday and Saturday! I'd love to see them, but what can you do? See you soon! Mr. A.
Hi Mr. Allen! For the homework do we have to have exactly two paragraphs for the writing? Thanks, Sarah! You can do more, if you're enjoying the work! Mr. A.
Hi mr. A i'm sending u this message on ipod. Lucky you! Mr. A.
Sunday, February 28th
hi mr.a, ~aBbY
Yes we can - but remember we're going to be working on the songs we already have recorded rather than crazy jamming like last week, especially after Monday afternoon, as the project ending starts to close in! Mr. A.
Sorry! Let's hope that Monday is a better day! Mr. A.
Hey Mr Allen Yes you can! Congrats on the grades! Mr. A.
Saturday, February 27th I'mmmmmmmmmmm sooooooooooooo booooooorrrrrrrrrred!!!!
Sorry! Mr. A.
hi mr.allen when are you going to grade my writting workshop? sgl Soon! Mr. A.
Hi mr. Allen. I'm doing very well, thank you. I don't think the story line was weak - just not as strong as the history-making visuals! I've updated your blog below! Bye, Mr. A.
Kathryn's idiosyncratic musings, here for your pleasure.
what r we gonna do 4 chaperones? Hopefully, find four adults willing to suffer the epic bus rides! Mr. A.
ew. my hands smell like cat food. shhh! my cat can hear you!!!!!(or
me) Use a knife and fork when you eat cat food rather than your fingers. Don't you have any manners? :) Mr. A.
Wednesday, February 24th
i love the rain, exept when i get wet. then i don't like it as much.
i love going to sleep in the rain. Funny you should say that - I was just thinking the same thing. I just cycled home and I loved it. It makes me feel at home! Beautiful melancholy! Mr. A.
hey, mr allen, we shouldn't bring in our reading journals, right? i
thought you said we shouldn't, but i just want to check. oh, and can
we can stay afterschool on friday? my mom thought somebody said you
didn't do it on fridays. That's right. We're starting it all up next week. You should keep the records this week, bring it in next week. Actually, I will be staying after school on Friday - I'm having fun - why not? Mr. A.
Tuesday, February 23rd
Are you starting the recording project now? Yep! We have eight songs so far! Mr. A.
HA! Christelle got Oprah Winfrey, but i got Quincy Jones. he is
sooooo much cooler! have you heard of him? listen to the song he
produced called We are the World. theres an old one and a new one. i
like the old one best because Justin Beiber sings the part Lionel
Richie is singing in the other one and it is horrible. well, bye! Gosh! Quincy Jones might be a new person for you - but he's very famous in my generation. I agree about the song - although, to be honest, I don't like the song. I like the fact that it was used for a very good cause, but I think the song itself is rather weak! Mr. A.
yay!! todays my birthday!! i got a laptop!! im on it right now.
well, like a week ago but it was for my birthday!! i did this
trapeze thing yesterday (the people there were really rude, haha)
but it was fun. then i went bowling!! Belated Birthday greetings. I hope you had a great day! Mr. A.
oh..........i knew that??????? ok maybe i didn't. It's OK. It all happened many years before you were born. Why would you know? Mr. A.
Mr Allen all my pictures in my writing workshop When you've finished correcting the work, I'll sort out the pictures. We're going to deal with it after the Recording Project. Mr. A.
Hola mr. allen, Start keeping the journal again starting this week. Hand it in next week. See you shortly, Mr. A.
Hi Mr. Allen, Already so long ago, so long ago..... Mr. A.
Sunday, February 21st
i am the happiest girl in the world right now. my family took my
brother's friend from school to New Hampshire to go skiing with us.
he is a boarding student from Hong Kong, so his parents sent us a
fancy old fashoned lunch box filled with hong kongian chocolate. i
hate dark chocolate, but i found a bar of solid milk chocolate. i'm
going to eat some now. Glad you're happy. Don't eat too much of that chocolate! I've had a great vacation making music. I have fourteen songs recorded - (one of my favorites is currently in limbo - the cursed Pro Tools session is damaged so I might have to start over - drat!! I'll never be able to sing the harmonies as well as I did the first time!) the project is called 'Black Wing Night'. It's still a short way away from being posted. Unfortunately, I couldn't work on the Psychedelics material - the files wouldn't open in my home studio - I'm going to have to work on them at the School studio! See you soon! Mr. A.
ummmm.......hi. i have a question to ask you, but first i have to
tell you why im asking this question. ok. i have to do a report on
Oprah Winfrey and it has to be a 5 paragraph Essay. but she has
nothing to do with the question i need to ask you. so anyway. While
i was resreaching stuff about her on Oprah-winfrey.com there was
this video there about John Lenon. The last time i went on that
website to do resreach the video wasn't there. so i was wondering
what a video about john Lenon was doing on a website about Oprah
Winfrey. But that still not the question i want to ask you. during
the 5 minute video it was about how people were joining together
twice a year to celebrate what John Lenon did am thought how the
world should be a peaceful place and have no war. Now this is the
question want to ask you. Is john Lenon dead? because they were all
acting like he had died. If he did die i had no idea because i barly
ever think or hear about him since after i was in your class. so
what i would like to know is he dead or not. I'm surprised you haven't 'googled' for the answer! John Lennon was murdered by a fame-obsessed lunatic in New York. Good luck with your essay on Oprah Winfrey! Mr. A.
I have some news for you. Ryan and I are in a band, we've already written a great song, but it's not just us in the band. It's Sean on the bass, Ryan on the guitar, John Mucci-Riley on the keyboard and I'm singing. See you on monday!!!!!!!! Owen. A Supergroup! See you tomorrow! Mr. A.
hi mike, What a drag, eh? It didn't even snow! Mr. A.
Thursday, February 18th Hi mr.allen! Is the writing workshop supposed to be due tomorrow? Thanks - Sarah Writing what? Oh wait, I remember now. Yes it is due tomorrow. I won't be updating anything until Sunday - I'm having great fun with my own music project! See you soon, Mr. A.
Hi mr.allen, Requirements included handing in the work in the required manner, place, and time throughout the project, attending to what was asked of you in the appropriate manner: editing and checking during that week, etc. I think you've met requirements, as far as I know today - but I'm not working on schoolwork until Sunday! Hope you're having a great vacation! See you soon, Mr. A.
hi. i went to the museum of science to see the harry potter exhibit. it is so cool at the beginning there is even a sorting hat. see you on monday!:)-kayla ps i am about to watch the olympics they are so fun to watch i love watching the mogul skiing have u been watching the olympics at all i have a A LOT. Bye! I love the Museum of Science - I think it's one of the best in the country. I literally haven't watched any of the Olympics at all because I've been making tons of music. It sounds like you're enjoying the vacation. Hope that's true! See you soon, Mr. A.
Hi it's Lucas and Florida is awesome. When we got here it was 9 and
it took an hour to get to the house so we got to the house at 10 and
had to eat dinner then because we hadn't had it before. The next day
we went to the museum of Ringling brothers circus and I got a t
shirt. On Sunday we went in the pool all day. On Monday we went
fishing and didn't catch anything, we also got ice cream. Today we
went to an aquarium and saw manatees, sharks, fish, a piece of a
dead giant squid, smaller living squids, sting rays, dolphins and
turtles. Sounds like you're having a blast - me too! Mr. A.
We won the soccer game, we were losing 4-1, but we didn't give up so
we won 7-5; I had two goals. What a comeback! Well done! Mr. A.
Monday, February 15th Hey Mr. Allen, it's Owen. The other day I went to this place called Newbury comics. I got the new Jay-z album and it rocks, now I know great songs that aren't on the radio by my favorite artist. And I also got two full books of simpson comic books, and they're hilarious. I also have a soccer game tonight all the way up in Acton. Wish me luck. Good luck in the game today! I love Newbury Comics - it's where I still buy all my CD's (I know, CD's are so 'yesterday', but I still love 'em!) Mr. A.
HI Mr. Allen, So far so good: three songs in the computer, one with The Ferrets, my 'band' and two on my own. As I explained in the previous reply to Soule, I've made a point of challenging myself with some new software and of trying to better understand the potential of my keyboard. It was a struggle, but I'm so glad I did it! I have a new and exciting way to get drums into my projects now that sounds great to me, and my keyboard is revealing why it's considered to be one of the best on the market! Hope you're having fun too! Mr. A.
Hola mr. allen. What a drag. Good luck with the power supply. I too have been dealing with tech issues - mine all software related. Digging through the forest of learning curves took me much of Sunday - but I did end up solving all three problems I wanted to address and was able to record a song as well, so I'm feeling pretty good about it. I've recorded one song so far today. Glad you like N.S. I can bring you some of the recent back issues into school if you would like to read them! See you soon, Mr. A.
happy valentines day! i love valentines day because it is the day of
love. don't be a grinch and be happy about valentines day. i'm so
comfy in my house in NH. ah, the sweetness of the outdoors. You're very wise, Laura! Mr. A.
okaay, its fine that hes to old for me.. i still have a huge poster
in my room of him (: . but omg i went to the high school concert on
friday. first there was a guy (Michael Mahony) and he was only
backed up by a drummer. he sang a couple of songs and he was pretty
good. but at the end he says that he is going to sing a parody of
the song "the long and winding road" and it was about medford.
ohmygod i laughed so hard i cried! and then there were the Carter
Twins. they sang country music, but they were good. and they let us
come up to the bottom of the stage and that was a lot of fun becuase
i was in the front with some of my friends. and they are both kinda
hott . . . that helped . . but it was a lot of fun !! Michael was in my class when he was in fifth grade. He was obsessed with the Beatles then and still is now! Glad you had fun - I've heard good things about the headlining act, too, but I was doing something else that night. Oh well! My advice: keep away from older boys who can turn into wolves! Mr. A.
hey, mr.allen, it's molly. my aunt is over and she is teaching me calligraphy-pretty cool! have an awesome february vacation! Does this mean an improvement coming in your handwriting? I'm excited! (Just friendly teasing, Sophia, just friendly teasing!) Have a fantastic vacation! Mr. A.
Hola mike it is luke.........i've been working on cover versions we
might be able to play and 12 out of a possible 19 are perfect for
us. you were right though, the stevie wonder songs are too
complicated but our group will definetly be able to play
superstition. Great work. Not so sure we can handle 'Superstition', to be honest, but we'll have to see! Have a great vacation! Mr. A.
the program that Adam uses instead of acid is FL studios. you can
make your own beats and drums out of lots of different instruments.
we watched the song that was produced by Quincy Jones. i'm studying
him for social studies. well, gotsta go!!! I just bought this software on your recommendation. It's definitely fun - but not as easy to use as Acid - though you can do different things with it. Quincy Jones - what a talented chap he is! Thanks for the tip! Mr. A.
Friday, February 12th r u gonna watch the opening ceremony? i hope i am-Kayla I guess so! I'm trying to get all my work done now so I don't have much to do at the end of the vacation! Mr. A.
i just listened to best day by Taylor Swift. it is a goood song. we
went on a feild trip today to see a play and we got cookies for
valentines day. the kids at the Mygleyn (i don't care if i spelled
it wrong) got floweres that you could sent to people and even if
noone sent one to you, you got a flower. how nice is that? i with we
could do that. well, bye bye! Valentine's Day - bah humbug! Another excuse for the commercial exploitation of the citizens of America, blah, blah. :) Glad you like that song - I think it's an utter classic! Mr. A.
OMG AND ITS TAYLOR LAUTNERS BIRTHDAYY ! Who? Wait a minute...(googlization break)...ah, the wolf-dude from Twilight has finally turned eighteen. Way too old for you, Reyna! Mr. A.
ahhhh im kinda boredd . im supposed to be typing an open response,
then writing a 7 pargraph essay, then typing it. then theres the
math homeworkk ... when you get into 6th grade DO NOT put homework
off . cuz then you gott aaalllooototttt that you really dont want to

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they just killed the maid for

Sunday, February 7th
i just read Lexie's story. it is really good. what is wrong with the
girl? (other than her having the flu) i like the pictures too. The lead character's not perfect in a perfect world - think 'Uglies' meets 'Unwind'! Have you read 'Unwind'? Mr. A.
Hi Mr. Allen, You're most welcome! Mr. A.
ooooooooo! can I come to the early release day thingy in your class? Sure thing. That's you, Eli, Julia, Simon, and Maddi, so far! Mr. A.
Guess what Mr. Allen?! There is a "My Sister Jodie" movie!!!!!! I'm going crazy right now can you believe it? - Sarah Excellent. I wonder if it's any good? Mr. A.

Wednesday, February 3rd
hey mike, can i come to the class next Wednesday (as far as i know
it is a half day) Sure thing. That's you and Maddi, so far! How are you finding the book? Mr. A.
By 2011 NASA is going to retire the space shuttles, even though they
have only used up 1/4 of their 100 year life. The space shuttles are
going to be replaced by the Ares rockets. The thing is that the Ares
program is going to be canceled due to budget issues. So that means
the U.S.A wont be able to go to outer space by itself. Also, in
related news I'm going to stay up to see the Endeavor launch Sunday
at 4:39 am. So sad i couldn't make it to any of the after school
music. I should be able to by after vacation. Miss you! See you after the vacation then. As for cost cutting, call me radical, but how about avoiding fighting two wars to save money? Or how about not keeping open military bases all over the world? Surely other things could be chopped before, or along with the Space program? Mr. A.
Monday, February 1st

did you really learn fireflies? see you tomorrow! Yes I did. We'll give it a go tomorrow, if the group wants to try it. Obviously, on guitar it doesn't quite sound the same - but it's still pretty neato! Until tomorrow, Mr. A.

Hi mr.allen It's not too frequent. You're obviously working very hard, but you really need to plan out this work. I've tried to read it but it's so confused and confusing! Put in your effort into making the story work as a story. Remember: simplify, simplify, simplify. Elegance is everything! Good luck! Mr. A.
hi mike, :( :( Mr. A.
Hello mr.allen I know how you feel. I've learnt 'Fireflies' for next week. The chorus of that song is very catchy. Mr. A.
hi mike im bored! :( Mr. A.
Hi Mr.A I don't remember what you wanted. Send me the font type and size you want, and I'll adjust it! Mr. A.
hi mike! Oh! So it's OK for you to write IM speak to me, but when I do it back to you with the hippest jargon around - it's so 'now' it hasn't been invented yet! - you don't like it! Hrumph! I've got the perfect compromise - let's write in English! Yay! Mr. A.
M.A.r.llen Get some sleep, Moose Boy! Mr.A.

mr.allen, i want arial font, i want a
light green text box, and i want this background... for now!
/Users/Abby/Desktop/sea-sickness-purple-green-optical-illusions.jpg You have to send either the .jpg, or a link for me to access the background image you want! I've made the changes I can! Mr. A.
Hi Mr.A about the homework If your done with your story from last week can you start a new one for this week? I can email you the edited version of my story. Thanks! -Sarah You can do whatever you want! Mr. A.
Hey Mr. Allen it's Owen wrighting to you on a Saturday morning. I just started typing my story and I'm all ready a page and a half into it. Have a nice weeekend. Cool! You have a great weekend, too! Mr. A.
hi mike Terrible thing! Poor people! Mr. A.
mr.allen can my backround be hot pink? Background for what? Send me some work before we do anything about backgrounds!! Mr. A.
mr.allen It's very simple really. Either you get a note excusing you from the project from Mom, or you lose recess until you have completed and handed in all the work you owe! There it is! Mr. A.
hi mike! Oh, I get it! You mean bad spelling is now excused by the next generation. Cool! :) W. I.. T. T. IM. S. I. J. I. M. B. Waddya T? Total retardo, blingdo rupity hoo hoo! Slingin' m

I was just listening to our cd. We
all sound so different! Brennan especially. His voice went down a
lot! Life is good I guess. School is going great, I have different
friends than I did in 5th grade but it works well. I am still
friends with Charlotte, but not hannah anymore. More of Callie and
Daria and Ilana and those people. I am doing a lot of extra
curricular activities also. I have especially taken a liking to
math. Actually I absolutley love it. Nothing else is really going on
though.
OMG David too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear that school and friendships are going well. Did you mean that David is still a close friend? Glad to hear that you still love math. Bet you can still write a great story, too! CD still sound good? Have a great weekend, mike
hi mike! Gosh. Now you've spelled 'rong rong' wrong. That's just plain wrong! Take it easy with those nachoooooooos - bless you! mike
Hi mr.allen, You do indeed have something on the website. Feel free to send me updaytes at your leisure. Have a great weekend, Mr. A.
Thursday, January 21st
my dog is sooooo cute (and I'm not
bragging) You braggart! Mr. A.
Hi Mike! The class is quite classy! :) By the way, you spelled wrong wrong! Too much cheese, probably! Mr. A.
Dear, Mr. Allen Hand it in! Save the excuses for the executioner! See you tomorrow, Mr. A.
hey Mike! wow its really weird calling you that. I'll just say
Mr.Allen. Wow, it feels like 5th grade was so long ago but it was
really not. Just wanted to say hi.... I'm glad that all of our work
is still up! I probably won't see you in the schoolyard anytime soon
because I take a different bus now but maybe someday............. So
how your class this year? How was the play? I couldn't go that night
but I hope to see the end of the year one!! See you around (maybe). So long ago? Of course, Fifth grade is every day for me. It's like that movie, 'Groundhog Day', except not as funny! Obviously, the class are lovely, kind little creatures, one and all! The play was epic and spectacular! Anyway, enough of me, what about you? How is your life? School great? Hope to see you soon! Mr. A.
hi mike, Hey George, Don't thank God - you did the work, not him or her! I'm having fun as always. Hope you are too! Mr. A.
If you don't get my homework... blame it on our computer softwares... I've got a better idea about who to blame... :) Mr. A.
Wednesday, January 20th
Do you have any request for a good
book? No, it's OK. I've got a decent one to read - although it is a bit flat right now! It's called 'The Little Stranger', by Sarah Waters. It was short listed for last year's Booker prize. I finished the Booker prize winner, 'Wolf Hall'. However, I get a feeling you might not be offering me a book after all. Oh well! Mr. A.
Tuesday, January 19th
Hi Mike! Hi Peaches, Nice to hear from you. Glad to see you still like cheese. But what's this about nachos? Mr. A.
Mr. Allen hi its molly please put the planet songs on the website i
can't wait any longer!!!! Sorry - but those songs are not available at this time. We would have to work on them at school! Mr. A.

The Monday after next, assuming there is interest and Parent permission, and a resolution to the computer problem! Mr. A.
Wednesday, January 13th Hello Mr.Allen -Sarah Why hello Sarah! Mr. A.
mr. allen, for the sources thing on the homework do you have to
write the chapter that you gave us? if you do can you give me the
title of the book? Bye!! You only need to list sources other than the Jean Fritz chapter I gave you, if you had any! Mr. A.
hi mr.allen i just got two teeth pulled. it didn't really hurt but i bet it'll hurt later. you have know idea how much i wanted to bite the dentist. from sgl Oh no! I'm glad you didn't bite him - he would have charged you another $500! Hope it doesn't hurt too much when the anesthetic wears off! Mr. A.
Dear Mr. Allen,
Haha nevermind i just heard about the
dare thing byebye Glad you got the message in time! Next time? Mr. A.
Monday, January 11th Hey Mr. Allen, Mikey speaking, is it OK if I come visit on Wednesday? Hi Mikey, Unfortunately, I can't have Middle School visitors this time because the students are still taking the DARE class on Wednesday afternoon after lunch. You are more than welcome to come to the next early release, if you want, by which time the DARE classes will have finished, I think! Mr. A.
Can we find pictures off the internet or do we have to draw
them? Yes you can! Mr. A.
Oh! It was Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
P.S. For another one of these, i
think you should do the Gettysburg Address, particularly the
four score and seven years ago and the that we here highly
resolve Well done! The quote thing just happens every now and then - it's not all planned out - though the Gettysburg Address is a fertile garden indeed for quotes! Mr. A.
Saturday, January 9th
Mr. A, Yes you can. I realized today that I completely got your explorer mixed up with a different one I have a book about called Cabeza de Vaca. Whoops! Hopefully, you still find Ponce de Leon interesting enough... :) Mr. A.
Thursday, January 7th
Before I played alone, I'll practice with you while the class
sings it.
