Mr. Buxton, are Alex and I really going to be performing infront of the whole 5th grade?
I feel I stepped out of my comfort zone while doing the Speech.
BTW- EVERYONE who did the Patrick Henry speech did an amazing job. EVERONE in our class should be proud of themselfs.
no subway?
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?
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.
the friday speech was so touching I was going to cry, but THAT WAS A PANTENE ADD????
Are we having secret santa????? PLEASE.........!!!!!!!!

Well.. there was a concert as SAS last night. Holiday Concert for high school. my brother played bass clarinet and tener saxophone.
I know Breann was there because I saw her.
Thanks Han! Good job, too! Don't be shy about your video!
How do I exactly make my blog neater, Mr. Buxton?
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?
And Anisha on your blog you might want to delete the wrong Patrick Henry Speech.
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!
the wrong one on my blog.
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.
WOW! Such a touching friday message...
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
Can my topic for the persuasive writing be how we can't let tsunamis and earthquakes etc. happen?

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.
never mind. she did it because she wanted to recognize peace.
Here are some quotes on peace:

understanding. - Albert Einstein

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

Maya- for your animoto- too much text. for dangerous to see animals you could do the danger sign.
Help! I could not find ANY songs that were long enough to fit my thesis, p2's and p3's for the persuasive animoto!!!
The longest was about 4 minutes.
I don't know why but no matter what minute song I chose the song just plays SO FAST!
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?
Is is alright if I don't give my reason on why earthquakes need to be stopped?
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.
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.
a lunar eclipse just happened? wow. that is one thing i will regret for the rest of my life.
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.
most comments on the weekend! and it's only Saturday?
So if we're doing secret santa, then who's secret santa is who's?
Thanks Maya and Anisha ummmmm but Anisha I don't think I could do that but thanks anyway.
How do you upload a song? and what do you mean reply some songs also I can do it on vocaroo at MY house

Anisha-Tomorrow!!!!
What does the spotlight do though?
And I SO wanted to see that lunar esclipse! I on the web everywhere! Tons of people are talking about is even on Facebook!

Han - What letter and we don't wrap the presents
The one in your blue folder it says to bring the gifts unwrapped.
Thanks Anisha!:)

yeah i didn't get that letter either. i mean, there's also the fact that mr.buxton hadn't decided then.
wow. 90 comments in a weekend. RECORD! this class makes alot of posting records.
okay. so tommorow, i am thinking of controlling my OBOB by not posting a single comment on the blog. Good idea, bad idea?
wow. i can't believe that half the year has gone by so quickly. i don't want this year to end! So far, 5th grade has taught me so much, and challenged me more than any other grade. it is really the only grade that challenged me!
