   Hi Mr. Madden-

   It’s Jake, from 1st Hour. You rock at teaching. I am planning to become a author in the next year. I’m writing it right now. If you want, I could bring the first chapter to you on my jumpdrive.

    Roman and Cameron, and anyone else with good questions like these!

    Assignment: Write a paragraph telling what you want out of your sixth grade year. You can talk about classes, friends, etc. Stay clear from saying things like, “I want good grades,” and, instead say, “I want a B in math. I have never gotten a B in math. I will do this by…”

    Be SURE to tell WHY you want the things that you mention!

    Hi Mr.Madden. I am having some trouble on my homework. The book I am reading is a graphic novel and it does not really say any words or adjectives, so I was wondering if I could do another book I am reading at home. Is that all right?

    Don’t sweat the HW, it is just practice. We will be doing more in class.

    To answer your question, Friday is a proper noun (because it is a specific idea, and a name) and abstract noun (because it is an idea, not a physical object that you could see or hear or taste or touch or smell!)

    @Lauren R.,

    At one point in the story, CD goes to have tea with Capt. Jaggery. During this time, CD has to make a decision about what to tell CJ about Zachariah.

    She chooses to tell CJ something about Zachariah which makes it seem very much as if CD actually DOES believe Zachariah’s story about Mr. Cranick and CJ.

    Think about what went on in that scene in CJ’s cabin.

    I hope that this helped!

    Mr. M
    About the whole playing favorites thing that you said you do not do because it’s not fair I totally agree with you because when Lauren R. and I get off the bus it’s a real long walk so we cut through a lawnand we thought she was really nice because we talk to her an stuff but when we did that she totally freaked out and starts yelling at us and were like dude, calm down. (we did not really say that but I mean really.) But the other kids that get off our stop walk through her yard and she just smiles at them and says “Hi kids,” and we’re like that’s not fair.(we did not say that either we just thought it , but still.) So now we just kind of jump over the corner of the grass into their neighbor’s yard and we don’t even know them and they still let us. Well, to make a long story short (I know it’s a bit late for that.) But i’m glad you do’nt play favorites.

     Yes, it is a singular possessive. Just remove the (’s) or (’) from any of the words and the root word is revealed to show if it is a singular or plural noun.

     Yes! That is exactly correct. For example, you could have a singular possessive AND a contraction with “Mr. Madden’s” because it is a singular possessive noun (”Mr. Madden’s lunch”) and a possible contraction (Mr. Madden’s gone: Mr. Madden is gone.)
