Running Day Quick Write

Last Letter!

Good luck and be great!

Hello everybody! SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT! THIS CLASS IS CRAZYYYYY!!! NOBODY HAS PAPER OR PENCILS BUT THE VERY GENEROUS KIARA GAVE EVERYBODY PAPER!!!! and somehow a pen is on my desk??? Ms. Nakada is explaining something but I kinda have no clue what she is talking about. Now we are writing quick writes about how running day has impacted us. I honestly don't have the energy to school so I'm going to procrastinate by writing this blog. uuuummmm... so yearbooks were handed out on friday at the dance. I'm in the yearbook 17 times. The dance was okay. On Saturday we went to Six Flags and I got bruises from X2 because it was super bumpy. I am so done with school. I just want to culminate and go to high school. Sorry Emerson, but I'm tired of you. I'm going to miss a few people though. I will not miss 7th grade Lara. I like 8th grade Lara. I am so tired. The other day I fell asleep on Kamilia's shoulder while watching Poltergeist. Ms. Nakada just handed out a paper titled "Ten Things I Hope You Will Remember." Isaac reads the first paragraph. Therese reads the second and so on. Alex just almost said boobs and as the immature kids we are, there was a burst of laughter. This advice is very good and inspirational. Isaac Gol just did some incorrect math about how much time we've spent with Ms. Nakada and now we're all trying to figure it out. The bell hasn't rung but I am too original so Lara out!

Since I am not currently with my Shakespeare company, I do not know what is going on. Thus i will take the time to explain how our school is the Illuminati. How you ask? Emerson Middle school is now a charter school. A charter is also a boat. Emerson Middle school is now a charter school. A charter is also a boat. You know what boats do? Sink in the Bermuda triangle. You know what else is a triangle? That's right! Italy. Italy fought in World War 2. Germany also fought in world war 2. Anne Frank hid in basements from the Nazis in Germany. Emerson middle school also has a basement. Don't you think its a little suspicious that both Houses in Germany and our school have basements? I thought so. What does Anne Frank have to do with the Illuminati? Anne Frank has 9 letters. Bumfuzzle also has 9 letters. Bumfuzzle is worth 34 scrabble points. You know what else has 34 letters? That's right! Pseudoantidisestablishmentarianism. This word was created by Fuller Albright. Fuller Albright was born in the year 1901. 9 + 1 + 0 + 1 = 11. You know what else has 11 letters? That's right! Adolf Hitler. Hitler controlled the Nazis. Joseph Goebbels was a Nazi. Joseph has 6 letters. You know what else has 6 letters? That's right! Monkey. What do monkeys have to do with Emerson middle school being the Illuminati? Let's go deeper. North Korea and monkey both have one thing in common: The letter O. Obama starts with O. Kim Jong Un called Obama a monkey. Monkeys have 4 limbs. Obama also has 4 limbs. 4 + 4 = 8. You know what has 8 letters? That's right! Basement. BOTH EMERSON AND GERMANY HAVE BASEMENTS. DON'T YOU think it's a little suspicious that these locations both have basements? I thought so. Emerson students went to a baseball game once. The Dodgers are a baseball team. The dodgers have been in two locations. 6/2 is 3. There are 3 sides to a triangle. The Illuminati is also a triangle. Emerson = Illuminati confirmed.ow what boats do? Sink in the Bermuda triangle.

I wasn't listening to Pradeep's group presentation. Whoops. One of the longest blogs. Tai is BUMFUZZLED because he cant read "backwards" (which doesn't make sense because nothing was backwards. What he should have said is that he can't read upside down). Only hearing bits and pieces of the presentations, the plot is lost on me, which means I will actually have to read the book. Sitting next to donuts and not eating the donuts is the second hardest thing anyone will ever do, right after wheelchair rugby. Twelfth. Fth. this only seems to bother me.

Some people aren't willing to share their collection with everyone because they're personal. We get up and walk around to view poetry collections. They were all so AMAZING!!!!! Now we are having Open Mic, I didn't get to read all of them so I wonder what people are going to share. We heard from a whole bunch of people and they were all really awesome and totally gave me the feels. Murders, Illuminati, Raisins, Kale Chips, Sharks, etc. They all were super awesome and there probably are so many more.

Guys our last letter home is due... eventually.


Hello!

       To start off the day, Keith read his blog and then he picked me. Ms. Nakada started the To Kill a Mockingbird movie for the people who haven't seen the end.

       After the movie, Ms. Nakada gives us time to work on our poems. If we're already done, we have to work on our introductions for our collections. Ms. Nakada gives us some prompts to get our writing juices flowing.

Ms. Nakada wrote an extremely upsetting poem about dead children.

Not that much happened today so I'm keeping it short.

NaPoWriMo collections due Monday!

Hey Guys! I wanted to do the blog today so let's get started. But keep in mind I'm really tired so this blog will probably be really bad.

We started up by Therese reading the special birthday blog. Then we see the website for the Emerson silent auction. Yes Aidan, believe it or not, you do pay money for stuff in an auction. Eliana really wanted to look at handbags, but Ms. Nakada just wanted to get to everyone's favorite part of the day: CHAPTER SUMMARIES!!! (not really) 

I'm not even writing these summaries down because I got such a late start on the blog. The first summary I've written down is the one for chapter 27. I really should do more work in this class.

Aidan thinks Jem died. Because that's clearly the story of how Jem broke his arm. How does Isaac not know what a VHS player is? No Isaac, it's not like an Ipad. I should probably wrap this blog up, since it has dissolved into me typing what other people are saying.

But before we end this blog, Nima gets a shout out because I'm a nice person. 

The bell didn't ring, but I"m ending the blog anyway because I'm different

Danika - HAPPY BIRTHDAY

All the other people who's birthday is today - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

And Isaac just remembered his dad's birthday is today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

We're right now reading a poem... And it is a very mysterious puzzle...

What is it about?! Pregnancy? Fertility? Farming? - We don't know, let's ask the author...

There's two prompts for today because it's "TWO" for Tuesday. GET caught up people! April is almost over!

The class is in deep writing thought....

Samson just shared a really cheerful poem, that told us that we will all soon be dead, thanks Samson!

For your poem collection remember all 30 poems and have 3 poetic devices in each. If you do more than 30 it's extra credit! Make it pretty! -It gives points :)

The class is working on grades and poems.

I only have 7, but I;m nt really that poetic. Hnestyl, I am so tired I don't even kow what to type and I a struggling stayi g awake. Mrs. Nakada is now showing us some links on the computer. One of the links shows a poem a day. She is now reading the poem, I'm not really listening though. I hate poems, but NapoWriMo is SOO much easier than NanoWriMo. Now, we're writing a confession poem. Oh god, Im so bad at peoms. I dont know what to write and now I'm feeling badly about myself. I'm basically indirecting how much I hate everyone in each of my poems. I love it.  People are reading their poems. Ugh, we start CRCTs next Monday. :((( By the way CRCTs are what we call placement tests back in Georgia. Now you know. Alright, so now we're starting our TKAM essays. I feel kind of bad how my blog post is quite short. I envy how everyone else writes so much when nothing is happening in class and then read it so enthusiastically the next day. I must actually confess, I haven't done the blog in so, so long.

HW: Have a good weekend!

Hey everyone! This blog might not be as enthusiastic as my others because I am pretty tired. I'm blogging today because Mr. Ferrin just told me to so yeah. NaPoWriMo is next month! I think? I AM SO PUMPED! i hope it's next month or this will be a little embarrassing. There was no blog yesterday because of our test. Today we are presenting our extra credit projects. I'm taking pictures of people presenting. I wonder how many time I will say present / presentation in this blog. I'm going to count at the end. And now I want to say it on purpose. Everyone was present today so we got a point. We know have 10 points! Pizza party here we come!!!! So

Eliana does her presentation first. Her presentation is a song which is a parody of that one Taylor Swift song about breaking up. It's called The English Extra Credit Song. "Ameri-meri-meri-ca-a sometimes follows the gold rule." The picture below is Eliana doing her presentation.

Tai presents second. He has a poster.

Isaac presents third with a power point. Samson presents third and is kinda(???) racist against whites. Samson is also an amazing actor. "White people were like 'stay over there!' and black people were like 'but we're people toooo!"

There are already too many pictures in this blog and we have 25 minutes left. Will that stop me from taking more? nope.

Alex is next with a beautiful powerpoint. Oh no, Alex got cut off but she was near the (I just realized that I'm alternating between powerpoint being one word and two words.) Nico presented last but I didn't get a picture of him. 

Aidan what are you doing? We have 5 minutes left of class now. 

Mr. Ferrin is telling us about himself and his life. He's making us really sad and being inspirational.  He's telling us a lot of sad stuff and the point is that everything is going to be okay. We're growing and becoming different people and we shouldn't date in high school. Goodbye guys i may be in tears right now.

Mr. Ferrin tells us about a little boy who whistled at a white woman, and his family found his body a couple days later.  A snipe is : a wading bird of marshes and wet meadows, with brown camouflaged plumage, a long straight bill, and typically a drumming display flight.

Have a FANTABULOUS weekend!!!!!!!

Hello all, it is once again Auntie Boshiqua's turn to do the blog. AND ON SUCH A SPECHIAL OCCASION! It's my favorite holiday! (Friday the 13th) and my least favorite :( (Valentine's Day). Well, it's the day before Valentine's Day. Now you may be wondering, Boshiqua how can you hate Valentine's Day, you have a new bae like every week. Well whoever was wondering, it's because Valentine's Day is just a way for corporate America to get more money and a day where if you don't do someone extra spechial for your bae you get dumped. It's just really stupid. But at least there's candy, I'm eating the candy all my baes got me right now. Yum. Anyway, at the moment everyones writing for the prompt "Lying is ALWAYS acceptable." By the way, you've probably figured this out by now but, Mr. Ferrin, I gave you an empty box of chocolates. HAHAHA!!!!

Here is me and my baes blowing kisses to all of you!

(except for Lara because you don't deserve her kisses).

Now we are discussing why lying is always acceptable. It's time for **** MR.FERRIN'S PERSONAL QUESTION OF THE DAY!!! **** It was "What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid." And his answer was *drumroll* THE SIMPSONS. Great answer Mr. F. Great answer.

Well Lauren picked me again for the 4th time now... Today we have to write again, but the prompt is  Lying is SOMETIMES acceptable. Now we have started writing and we are allowed to have our phones out for research, the class is quite quiet. We finished writing and now are discussing what we wrote, Lie till you die is now todays theme. We have the option to either work on our packet or talk in the discussion. The Personal question how long is hair was, and it was fairly long. The final conclusion of the discussion is that lying is mostly okay in some cases, but not always. This is quite of a short blog, but we didn't do too much in class today, well the bell is about ring so bye.

Ch. 14 R.J. 5.1

Hey, I'm doing the blog today.  We started writing our Chapter 12 summaries and we learned about Aunt Alexandra moving in, her feminine influence on Scout and Jem, and her slight obsession with the Caste system and labeling families: not someone I think I'd want to meet.  We learn that the Finch's have a cousin who went to jail for an assassination attempt: also not someone I'd want to meet.  Then Lourden got a standing ovation for answering a question really well (good job Lourden).  Atticus makes Scout cry for trying to inform her and Jem about their superiority and how they need to start acting like a lady (in Scout's case) and a gentleman (in Jem's case).  This was an example of the Golden Rule: treat others how you want to be treated.  Everyone wants to know about Mr. Ferrin's personal life.  Bye!

Sup Y'all. YAY blog time. Nico read his blog first. *claps* Then, Lara read Ms. Nakada's Blog which was so cute!! We saw a picture of her baby Gabe. He so cute. Then we talked a little bit about the quiz and how if you went to Astro Camp (which was totally in space) you'll be taking the quiz on Friday. 

Now we're transitioning into chapter 12 summaries. We learn Jem is going through puberty, he has a giant appetite, is very moody and inconsistent. Calpurnia now calls Jem, Mr. Jem. 

Mr. Ferrin explains a shift that he noticed getting older like being called sir or Mr. 

Scout's not having the best summer. Dill isn't coming and we learn that he has a new dad who's also a lawyer. Atticus leaves for the legislature. Cal takes Scout & Jem to church since no one else is there to take them. They sing a call and response song. Tom Robinson goes to that church. We also learn that Ewe

Ms. Nakada's Blog on Quiz Day

Hi everyone!

I'm assuming there isn't a blog for today because of your quiz. Hope everyone did really well, is working hard, and learning lots.

Well, Mr. Ferrin probably told you already that Baby Gabe arrived on Monday. All went well (lucky for you, Samson) and here is the little guy, who ended up not being so little (7 lbs, 12 oz).

I miss you all, but I am enjoying being home with Gabe. Keep working hard for Mr. Ferrin and see you soon. :)

notes

HW: quiz

We started off the day with Lara reading her "blog post" which was more like an essay, but hey, that's Lara. After that, I was picked to do the blog. In class, we began talking about To Kill a Mockingbird. In chapter 11, we meet Mrs. Dubose. She isn't the most pleasant woman. Mrs. Dubose constantly yells racial slurs and mean insults at Scout and Jem as they pass by her house. One day, she gets to Jem. Jem takes the baton he bought for Scout and pillages her flower garden. Atticus finds out and punishes Jem. His punishment is to go over to Mrs. Dubose's house, apologize, and read to her for a month. Sounds like fun. Sarcasm, sarcasm. Two months later, Jem has completed his reading and Mrs. Dubose dies. We learn she was a morphine addict and that she was using Jem as a distraction from her withdrawals. Also, Mrs. Dubose leaves her will to Jem: one of the flowers from her garden.

Well that's the bell, bye!

To Kill A Mockingbird chapter 11

Hey guys! It's Lara a.k.a. your favorite/most energetic blogger. Today I was going to sit next to Alex (S.) but then I got chosen to do the blog. This is my interpretation of how it went down:
Me: Hey can I sit there?
Alex: Sure! You are super amazing. 
Ari: Who wants to do the blog?
Me: what the heckies is happening
Ari: Someone want to do the blog?
Me: ARI CHOOSE ME OR ELSE
Ari: Okay, Lara! You are the greatest person ever!
So that was the greatness that was the beginning of this morning. We are having a quiz on Wednesday on chapters 1-11 but mostly read 11 is what Mr. Ferrin says. Everyone is gone because of Astro Camp which I went to in 5th grade. I hope they're having a lot of fun because I'm definitely not. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH just kidding stay in school kids and don't smoke the devil's lettuce. It is very bad. I wonder who will check my blog since I am the official blog checker and Eliana is my backup but she's at Astro Camp and Tai is her backup but he's also at Astro Camp and Isaac is his backup but he's ALSO gone... so yeah. I just realized that lately, no one has added a photo to their blog so I shall add not one photo, but two. WOWOWOW. awmygawd I almost just lost this entire blog but since I am so amazing I saved it. 

These are my beautiful photos. I know guys, it's so out of the ordinary for me to be in my own photos and making peace signs. I never do that. *sarcasm x10* 

THIS CLASS IS OVER IN 40 MINUTES AND I WANT TO DO JUMPING JACKS. Lara chill. ok? ok. TFIOS!!! gosh sometimes I talk way too much. My friends are talking about what books they've read and Therese is reading I Am Malala which I really want to read but Nico misunderstood it as I Am A Llama which also sounds interesting. What if Kuzco from Kuzco's New Groove wrote a book about when he was a llama. That would be a must-read for everyone. 

rabies. rabies is what we are now talking about. rabies. One time my friend was feeding a carrot to a squirrel and the squirrel bit his finger but the squirrel didn't have rabies so it's okay. I feel like my blog will take so long to read but WHATEVER because it is very entertaining to write. Nico is singing songs from Hairspray and now I am finally giving in and singing You Can't Stop The Beat with him but Mr. Ferrin doesn't enjoy our beautiful singing so he made up stop. STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO-OO! don't! DON'T TREAT ME LIKE A CHILD OF TWO-OO! I KNOW THAT YOU WANT WHAT'S BE-EST! please! BUT MOTHER PLEASE, GIVE IT A REEEST! I love musicals. If you did not know, that is Mama I'm A Big Girl Now from Hairspray. We have 15 minutes of class. Now we are doing our summaries for chapter 10 (that means 10 in spanish.) Mr. Ferrin just said something about pushing over an old person and them dying and then everyone laugh. These children are cruel. I really like Mr. Ferrin's way of doing notes. He just does bullet points but they're great. Here they are for them absent kids:

-Atticus is feeble. (old...slow...weak...)

-Not like other fathers. Doesn't hunt or play football.

-IT'S A SIN TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

- Jem and Scout see Tim Johnson, a dog, walking down the street- worried because he's limping- ( rabid)

-Tell Calpurnia - she's raising the alarm.

-Atticus and Tate arrive.

- Tate has Atticus take the shot.

-Jem and Scout learn that their father is a goodshot.

So that was that. It is the end of this lovely blog and so I shall part from this laptop. GOODBYE FRIENDS.
