    The book I read was Caption Underpants and I would recomend it because it has humor and it will make you laugh. In the book there are two kids that are always getting into to trouble but are funny.

    Hi Mrs. Maus,
    I am at the library right now looking for books on my topic, and I was thinking about my presentation. Can I show a poster board about my topic during my presentation? I thought it would make the presentation more interesting…

    Thanks!

    Hi Mrs Maus,
    Today we had the discussion that if i couldn’t find any book on my topic, the I should consider doing something else. I was going to do the Black Eyed Peas, but no near Barnes and Noble stores had their books in stock. Well, now, I would like to do the history of Laguna Beach. I was wondering if that was appropriate. Please let me know ASAP!

    Thank You!

    um Mrs. Maus when is COW coming to our class and how often will it come?

    >>Hi Nicholas,
    The COW is on campus, but it hasn’t been “put out to pasture” yet. That is, we are waiting on the battery packs for the laptops. At least, that was the last I heard. I can’t wait for IVAN the COW!
    Hope you are well,

    Hi Shelby,
    I’m glad you are safe rather than out in the awful air that’s so dangerous to breathe. I hope your dad is successful and safely comes home soon!
    And I don’t think it’s weird that we got the day off. The health and safety of our students is our number one priority as teachers! After all, without your health, we can hardly teach you.
    Take care,
    Leslie

    That was sort of what I thought ,but I really thought (because I heard from my dad) was that in the year of 1993 or something the same weather that is going on today happened sometime that year. It ended up burning part of Laguna Beach down. I hope we have school tomorrow though.:)

    I wish we had a SNOW day that is fun and exciting unstead of a crummy SMOKE day when you have to stay inside and stay glued to the news all day long. The news is good….but throwing snow at someone is BETTER. Don’t you think?

    Hi, I was trying to revise and edit my “Feeling Like an Outsider” plot, but the Myaccess website was giving me some problems. When i typed in my username and password, it said the username/password was invalid. I tried the “Forgot your Password?” button, and it said my username didn’t even exist. So i called up a friend who said the same thing happened. We both have the little cards that tell the username and password, so we are not getting it wrong.
    Thanks

    I don’t know where to put what I think the theme is for extra credit. So I’m putting it here:

    I think the theme of Charlotte Doyle is that to get through life you might have to break a few rules and that’s how you learn.
