I got 8/10 on the website.
that is still pretty good Alex! ;)
I think I got 100%, but i didn't look at my score after so i retook it trying to remember what i got, and the one mistake i made i honestly think i got right the first time.
I got 10/10 on that activity! Do I get my TQ?
Mr. Buxton, I never got the two TQs I earned from the Monthly Review sheet that was in the Friday Folders last week.

I got 9/10
I got 8/10... I am happy I am being honest even though I didn't get 10/10
Mr.Buxton are we aloud to have a flash card that has facts on it for our word study test or have a sheet of paper?

I will need emails if you want to edit.
Yah i am so happy i got 10/10 although i guessed between 2 answers which i thought were right and as luck has it 10/10
I surprisingly got 10/10!!!
i would have gotten 9/10 but at the last second I changed #9!
Rohan can you please work on our Fakebook tonight.
Mr.Buxton, Can we sing a song/songs on the poetry party? Alex, Aditya, and I are planning to sing Iridescent and Aditya and I want to sing You'll Never Walk Alone! :-) Can we!! (LET IT GOOOO!!!! part of song)
Do you feel cold, and lost in desperation...
:-) Yeah and when is our Genre pizza thing?
Hope you guys will enjoy the GATE Math Fair!!!
This is the song I'm interpreting by the way
Iridescent-A Thousand Suns-Linkin Park
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLYiIBCN9ec&ob=av3e
I will be putting up my iMovie after it is finished uploading to YouTube
George -
He told me that we need to get it from the basket ourselves...
I got 7/10 and Nakul why sing that song at the poetry party?
yes.. Nakul -- that would be great. I hope a number of people will write poetry and also sing.
Anisha-Can you email me the link. It would let me view it at the moment.
Camille - I added a post by King George 111 on the Fakebook, you REALLY should read it! I've made it full of facts, yet very humorous!
Maddy- it is king george III, not 111.
Mr.Buxton- can't you view it on this link?

My interpretation
Thanks Mr.Buxton!!
Mr.Buxton can we bring in a card with what those things are like :
homophone= witch and which
I got 10/10, Mr. Buxton! I promise I honestly did!
you won't need a card Rachel...it is very straight forward assessment
Mr. Buxton -
You know how my typing goal was 22 WPM? Well, I just reached 38 WPM!
Anisha -
They're the same thing, but thanks for pointing it out for me...
This poem is inspired by the song I'm interpreting! I haven't figured out the title yet but here it is! I will deliver this at the Poetry Party
Let it go, Let it go.
Just let them go.
Don’t think about what happened before.
Don’t think about the consequences.
Let your fears go!
No matter what the situation is,
No matter what it could do to you,
Just think,
“Why live life if I’m scared!”
Enjoy life!
Don’t be scared of it
Seize the day!
No matter what’s in your way
Let it go, Let it go.
Just let them go.
Don’t think about what happened before.
Don’t think about the consequences.
Let your fears go!
Can you please share your opinions?
Is anyone here??
Mr.Buxton- i just realized something. the calender we use today was not invented until sometime in the 1700s! What will we do? Should we just leave it as it is?
It's fine! It's not like facebook was made in the 1600s
How do you think of my poem!
i got 8/10 on the word study quiz. by the way mr. buxton: There is a word study test on Friday, but Sabine needs more experience on some of the topics. (i'm basically asking you to give us some exercises so i don't fail the test). also, that was a b, a.k.a it was a COMPLETE SENTENCE.

Greetings Intermediate school
we’re Camille and Anisha
and we’re gonna make some pronouncements
for the morning announcements
The core values you know
and everyday you must show
respect, responsibility
fairness and compassion
and most importantly
honesty
While you’re still in intermediate school
there are some basic rules
to walk when tiles are under your feet
but not to eat there, too!
Hey, Camille!
know what’s today?
It’s the GATE math fair!
Please do not delay.
it’s from one to two
with puzzles galore
please attend
you’ve promised to be on the floor
Additionally
There’s the Variety Show
And they’ve got the beat
with the singers and the dancers and all the skits to see
to grab your tickets
and take a seat
Furthermore

Hey, Anisha!
You know what happened
on this day
in 1971?
An earthquake hit
6.6 at 6 am
in San Fernando
The answer to the riddle from yesterday
was..............
____________________________
and now it’s time
for the riddle of to day
so grab your computer
and get ready, to play!
No legs have I to dance
No lungs have I to breathe
No life have I to live or die
And yet, I do all three
What am I?
No legs have I to dance
No lungs have I to breathe
No life have I to live or die
And yet, I do all three
What am I?
Please send your answers
to Mr. Buxton’s class!
Well, it’s the end of the announcements
And we can’t say much more
So all that’s left to think about
is a quote of the day:
Act as if what you do makes a difference.
It does.
Ah thank you very much!
