HI Ms.Mongno
This is my favorite poem

Sometime boring, sometime fun.
Funny and fun.
Get some armor, get some gold.
Really fun when you are a member.
My friends play my friends plays.
He has a rune plate body.
He likes to play Runescape very much.
I’m different I don’t have rune plate body, but I have adamant.
Adamant, adamant look like poison because it’s green.
Two of my friends have rune body and dragon.
Rune it’s light blue.
Dragon, dragon, and dragon it’s really red, really red.
Also only for members.
I wish I were a member

This is my scene:

Me and my brothers, Chris, and Joseph were walking. Everything was quite when suddenly I ask, “Why do we have to move” Joseph said “Because of our dad factory.” Then I saw Chris opening the door with his keys. Then everything was quite again.

Hi, Ms.Mongo.
This is my scene:

There were two students in the classroom. The classroom was quiet as if there’s nobody inside. 10:31…10:32…10:33… The only one moving thing was hands of clock. Finally I broke the quite moment, “Did you have friend at your previous school, or like now?”
Kazuki opened her mouth, “Actually I had a best friend at my previous school. I think I should explain this first. Umm… Okay,

I like this scene because there are
many expression, such as broke the ice.

Hi, Ms. Mongno
This is my favorite poem.

Say Good Bye
When I say good-bye,
I couldn’t feel anything.
I still couldn’t believe he’ll leave here tomorrow
Why do I have to separate?
When I remember him,
My one-drop of tears come out from my eyes

Kia ora, that means Hello and Good Health in New Zealand.
Hi we are called the Wockets of Room Five at Russell Street School in Palmerston North, New Zealand. We liked listening to your Voice Thread and we thought that it was cool. We are learning about Podcasting and we are making our own. We have 14 classes at our school, and there are 28 children in our class. We also like to chew gum, but we can’t chew it in the school. We do Music too, we are learning how to play glockenspiel. We don’t have lockers at our school we have tote trays instead. Thank you for your podcast, and we hope you enjoy middle school.

Hello Ms.Mongno!
My scene is this :

“RING!” The bell rang briefly and everybody took their bags and ran to there houses. I slowly walked to my house and Smith ran to me, looked excited and happy. I thought he was Engel at first. He was GLOWING! I was pretty surprised. “Hi, Smith. Why are you so excited today? Are you going somewhere?” I asked and Smith panted. Without answering my question, he handed me the black stone.“Lucky stone?” I said and looked at him. He nodded and I smiled.“Where did you find it?” “At the deep dark stream.” I smiled and give it to him. “You keep it, Smith. I realized that I could do anything without it.” He looked at me, so shocked. I smiled again and put my……… oh, put his lucky stone on his hand.He smiled brightly. And my heart bumped happily.

I like this part of my story because this part
of my story sums up the story and tells the moral.
Also, I added a lots of details so it might
look good.

Hi Ms. Mongno and everybody in her class! My name is Mr. Hamada and I’m a teacher at the United Nations International School in Hanoi. I came across your class blog because of a message I got from Ms. Cofino.

I’ve enjoyed reading your inspirational sayings and I thought I would share one of my own favorites with you. It was originally written by a Chinese philosophers thousands of years ago:

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.

What this means to me is, no matter how big or scary something might seem, you must always begin by doing something small first.

This is true of anything in life: a really hard math problem (I’m a math teacher!), a story you have to write, or even getting ready to move to middle school next year. All of those little steps will someday add up to a big journey!

Hi every one, this is my favorite poem because i really like flowers and they are pretty

“Flowers
By Ofir
Sun, rain, water, bees
Smooth petals, fruits, sweet and pink
Wind, colors, red green”

this was kind of hard for me to write because i couldn’t find many words for flowers. :O

Hi everyone! my inspirational saying is “Believe in your self and
don’t give up!” To me it means that if you try you can do stuff that you believe that you can do no matter how hard it is. For example one time my teacher gave me homework. I told my mom that it’s too hard for me and she told me to try again until i get it right and don’t give up!
Ayu’s inspirational saying might help me because it might help me with my grades.“Failing is a way of succeeding.” For example, if i get bad grades and fail I could try again and succeed!
