Believe it!

By the end of school on Friday, you people will have completed 11% of your sixth grade school year.

Wow.  (Shake of the head.)

So,

How has it gone for you?

Is it everything you thought it would be?

Are your teachers stranger, odder, weirder, scarier, stricter, lamer, stupider, or more wonderful than you thought on your first day?

What about the hallways, cafe, library, gym, bus ride, old friends, new friends, of course,

Homework!

Is sixth grade

All that

You thought

It would

be?

Fred the YouTube star

Okay.

Fred.

YouTube.

If you know of whom I speak, what do you know about Fred?

Why is he so popular among young people like yourselves?

What makes his videos (vids) so addictive?

Why have his videos been viewed over 63 million times?

What does he know that adults don’t know?

Yikes!  What do we do for our homework again?

Simple:  Click the Assignments tab near the top of this page, look under today’s assignment, and it should be obvious with the details provided.

You can do it!

Hello! out there in MadWords.

I was not at school today because of a very interesting meeting I needed to attend.

The meeting (or class, really) taught myself and others how to create a GLPS teacher web page.

Now, I fully intend on keeping this blog as the main way of communicating with you, but I always believe in keeping my options open to new things and ideas.

Do you agree with that way of thinking?

How did today go with the guest teacher?  You people can be my eyes and ears into how the day (hours) unfolded!

• How did ZYLAR go?
• Everyone’s Panther Pride t-shirt done?  (It’s homework if not, you know.)
• How was lunch?
• What does the water in the drinking fountains taste like?  (Not chicken!)

Well, I plan on being in MadWords tomorrow, so I will see you then.

PS:  Check out the new extra credit question for this week!

Hello, and welcome to MadWords version 2016!

This is the site where you will find a boatload of class information (handouts, assignments, teacher postings, student comments, etc.).

The easiest thing to do is to bookmark the page once you have navigated to it.

I am pumped about this school year, I really am.  This is not something that I say at the beginning of each year (you can ask brothers or sisters or cousins or moms or dads or neighbors or even a cat).  There is something about this upcoming year, I don’t know what it quite is, that tells something wonderful is peeking around the corner.

Call it intuition.  Call it silly.  Call it a cab, whatever.  There is no denying that it is true!

So, here is hoping that you are excited as well about your first year of middle school.

You only have one very first time at everything.

Make your first day at Hayes one you will always remember.  Even if it turns out to be outrageously funny!

All right, all right, I really look forward to meeting each of you next week.

Have a fabulous weekend.

And go you White Sox!
