I feel I stepped out of my comfort zone while doing the Speech.

Han said...

no subway?

Maya S. said...

Nakul- No. He just forgot to add Subway lunch to the schedule.
Mr. Buxton- Can you please put the homework on the blog next week?

Maya S. said...

Two more things for Mr. Buxton:
1: In the "Recent Book Talks 2011/12" it says Harrison, not Harrisen.
2: Breann was given an extra shot because her ball was stuck in the net.

berrysweetπ said...

How do I exactly make my blog neater, Mr. Buxton?

Han said...

oh Anisha while I was looking at your poster on your blog I saw that comment too! Maybe you could try deleting some of those pictures on your blog and add some weekly blog posts and stuff.

Mr.Buxton- Wait are all those Friday Messages things quotes?

Han said...

And Anisha on your blog you might want to delete the wrong Patrick Henry Speech.

berrysweetπ said...

Good idea Han. Thanks for helping! Once, when I tried to make the memorization speech, I couldn't find the one I had typed up in word, and I ended up accidentally using the one on my blog!

berrysweetπ said...

the wrong one on my blog.

berrysweetπ said...

People- can you please vote on my blog on the poll if you have not done so already? I am collecting data for something I will tell you about when the vote thing ends.

I know Maddy! So touching... it touched the tip of my heart...
Anisha- your welcome happy to help and such a coincidence I just voted on your poll

Han said...

Check this out. I made the video, but the photos and words are my friends, Krishna. I have no idea why she suddenly did this, incase someone was wondering.

berrysweetπ said...

Here are some quotes on peace:

For our part, we shall continue to work for the new dawn when all the

life free from want a life in peace. - King Hussein of Jordan

Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by
understanding. - Albert Einstein

If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on
a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children. -
Mahatma Gandhi

Peace begins with a smile. - Mother Teresa a Catholic Nun and Nobel

We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with
ourselves. - Dalai Lama the Spiritual Leader of Tibet


Peace is a daily,
a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly
eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures. -John F.
Kennedy the 35th President of the United States, 1961 - 1963.

All we are saying is give peace a chance. - John Lennon, Musician

Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any
government or nation, not even the most belligerent. -Aung San Suu
Kyi, Burma's democracy leader and Nobel Peace laureate



If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends. You talk to
your enemies. -Moshe Dayan an Israeli general & politician (1915 -

First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to
others. -Thomas Kempis, a 1420 German mystic & religious author


When my heart is at peace, the world is at peace. ~ Chinese Proverb


There is no way to peace, peace is the way. -A.J. Muste Pacifist and prophet


I worked for suffrage for years, and got it. I've worked for peace for
55 years and haven't come close. ~ Jeanette Rankin Pacifist and

If you are for peace then you are for the world. -Krishna Suri

Maya- for your animoto- too much text. for dangerous to see animals you could do the danger sign.

Han said...

Help! I could not find ANY songs that were long enough to fit my thesis, p2's and p3's for the persuasive animoto!!!

Han said...

The longest was about 4 minutes.

Han said...

I don't know why but no matter what minute song I chose the song just plays SO FAST!

Han said...

Wait do we need to give everyone in the class a present i do not get Secret Santa?

Can my persuasive writing be typed on word?

Han said...

Is is alright if I don't give my reason on why earthquakes need to be stopped?

Maya S. said...

Did anyone else see the lunar eclipse which just ended? It was soooooooooooooo cool. It will only happen again in three years time, but it won't be in Singapore. It will be in a other part of the world.

Maya S. said...

Han- You bring in ONE gift. They are put in a pile, and anyone who gave a gift gets to pick a present from the pile.

berrysweetπ said...

a lunar eclipse just happened? wow. that is one thing i will regret for the rest of my life.

berrysweetπ said...

Han- go to someones house which has a computer that will make sound recordings ( could be yours ) . Either sing a really long song or reply some song a few times, and then upload it to animoto.

Jacqueline said...

Rachel L said...
