ReplyDeleteMr.Buxton, this is incorrect grammar as you planned ahead of time.
Thanks Caroline... It makes me feel better and fuzzy inside. I had a high fever and cough.
ReplyDeleteMr. Buxton-

ReplyDeleteGUYS DON'T FORGET TO DONATE MONEY SO WE CAN WIN THE PARTY AND BEAT THE OTHER CLASSES!!! :)(and make mr. buxton happy:))
ReplyDeleteYeah! What Carter said...
ReplyDeletehey everyone! mr buxton, i finished my book club story in the phillipines. i get back tonight (or should i say tomorow) at midnight. my story is completed and if it's okay i will e mail you my complete story tomorrow. if thats not okay i will do everything on the plane then send it to you when i get home. i will finish the IXL tomorrow if that's okay. i had a great time in the phillipines. what we did was a project called liter of light. its basically a bottle filled with water that you install into the cielings that are powered by the sun's reflection. they are installed into the homes of poor families that cannot afford to buy lighting. yesterday we took a break and rode segways. if you have seen the movie mall cop, its the vehicle paul blart (the mall cop) rides around the mall. after we had lunch, we walked around a while. i came across a little boy begging for money and gave him 100 pesos. (42 pesos= 1 USD.) a hobo (vagabond) saw me give him the money and chased him down because he wanted it. luckily, my brother's friend's dad yelled at the man so the boy got away and gave the money to his parents. the next day, while we were installing the lights into the roof this morning, a little boy walked up to me and punched my knee for no reason. (i was not injured at all) he was punching everyone who looked at him. then he found a stick and started off by whacking my brother's friend's arm. then he hit a girl in the leg and she cried. i got quite bored throughout the process and read a BOP magazine. a group of girls, some old, some younger, saw me reading my magazine. they seemed to want it badly. though it was very difficult for me, i decided to give them my magazine. when they took it, they were so excited. i had a great time in manila, phillipines. right now, im at the airport. i cant wait to arrive in singapore and get back to school on wednesday. see you!
ReplyDeletei will e mail
ReplyDeletei will do
i will finish
This is from Sabine's paragraph.
My mom said, "I am going to the movies". She had planned this. (Did I put the period in the right place after the diaglogue?)
Thanks for the great write up of your trip Sabine. You know, Mrs Buxton studied those light bulbs with her 3rd graders. Hope you took some photos, so she can show her class? Maybe you could do a photopeach?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great adventure....
i said will Arielle...because i'd just decided to do it at that moment in time!
no - punctuation always inside speech marks...of course you could have looked in any story book and found this out for yourself!
is it okay if I add you to my google doc instead of emailing you, or should i print it out and give it in on wednesday?
ReplyDeletealso caroline, what did you do for the book club yesterday?
ReplyDeleteYestarday my friend said "she will go downstairs to play" so I told her I know your not going to becuase you said will, and will means a unplanned future desican, but going means it is a planned future descian.
ReplyDeletemar. buxton and book club(maddy and maya)- tomorrow is our thing for book club (meaning that we chose Wednesday for our project) does that mean ONLY we are doing the grand conversation or we are doing the project or both????
ReplyDeletewait does the thesis statement HAVE to be a question? (i already made a thesis statement but i wanted to make sure)
ReplyDeleteis recooperating spelled rcooperating or recuperating???
ReplyDeletecarter- it isn't a question. You are using a question to form a thesis statement. example:
ReplyDeleteQ: Why do I like cheeseburgers
Thesis statement: I like cheeseburgers for many reasons such as they are delicious, they are easy to get, and they are awesome.
thanks and that thesis statement is very true
ReplyDeletedo you need to make a restate?( for s.s.)
ReplyDeleteWelcome! and it is the 3rd, "recuperating". you can tell because the computer doesn't underline it.
ReplyDeleteyes
ReplyDeleteCarter, I can answer the book club thing: You chose Wednesday as your Grand Conversation, not you presentation.
ReplyDeletethanks
ReplyDeletemr buxton, is my social studies essay due on thursday? because i was gone for the weekend
ReplyDeleteand monday so i didnt get the session for writing
To my book club:
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T ACCESS THE SPIDERSCRIBE!!!!!!!!!!
WHY NOT?!
ReplyDeleteGeorge - can I give Nick the symbolism and take big ideas? I have the material.
ReplyDeleteAlso, once you are making the prezi, can I do it, too? I have some some really good ideas, but don't worry, I won't try and take over.
wait! Never mind about the prezi! I will just give you ideas. Can I do the script instead, since I am anyways writing the interviews? And I am very good at writing scripts! I have had experience where I wrote a 5-minute script(prepositional phrase thing. Earned one of the best scores.). Also, what is Nick doing? He currently just has one from "Ideas" and nothing for presentation. How about he helps you with the prezi. You kind of make the stuff and Nick assembles them, or vice-versa.
ReplyDeleteDifferent way to access the Spiderscribe:

Everybody outside the Thief Lord Book Club- please do not see this. Unless you are Mr.Buxton and would like to see how well we are finally working as a team.
Anyone have a picture of Nakul and Nick together by any weird chance?
ReplyDeleteCarter and Maya,
ReplyDeleteCheck your emails about the Bookclubs Grand Conversation topic.

ReplyDeleteAlex- can you send me all the stuff for the bookclub presentation.
ReplyDeleteIn our BC Presentation, do we do the learning path of the characters throughout the WHOLE story for learning curves?
ReplyDeleteChoose. Maybe just one part of your book.
ReplyDeleteBook Club- go to spiderscribe
ReplyDeleteMaya and Carter -
ReplyDeleteIs the SECOND revised opinion better? Please check your emails...
