Last Minute Thoughts

Remember this weekend to go to bed early, so you can wake up energized and refreshed on Monday morning. Eat a good, healthy breakfast, or join us before school for healthy snacks. I’ll be bringing milk for the cereal and Chinese peas. Show up on time. No tardies!!! And, when it’s all over, I’ve got some great, fun activities planned for the rest of the year.

Any questions??

Is this a horror story or science fiction?

So, there I was innocently spying (lurking) on Mr. Kashman’s blog.  I was excited to see 66 comments on his new science project.  But, imagine my HORROR when I spotted a mistake in the present perfect tense!  And this after Mr. Roboto and the Freaky Tense iMovie worked so hard to teach all of you.  Moreover, there is a FAN BOY without a comma separating two independent clauses.  I’m shocked and discouraged.  Nevertheless, I know that this would never happen on the English teacher’s blog.  So, correct those two mistakes below for extra credit.
