Hello! Happy Tuesday and Happy September!
I was really happy to see Anthony R, Ethan B, and Sam M at the Valley’s Got Talent competition this weekend. Thanks for saying hi and not ducking behind chairs to avoid me. 🙂 The show was awesome, and Oakdale’s Steelin’ the Beat won the band division. 🙂
Friday is the last day to post a comment on my blog and get extra credit, so if you’ve subscribed but not had a chance to say hi yet, please don’t forget! It’s an easy five points for the first student comment and another five points for the first parent comment. Your comments are the only way I have of knowing who has been to my blog, as I can’t access a list of subscribers/followers.
Also due on Friday is the Messy Room final draft, stapled to the top of your previous drafts. It should be typed, double-spaced. Center your title. In the top left corner, type your name, your teacher’s name, your class title, and the date. See sample below:

Hi Ms. Hawksworth,it’s my mom and I just saying hi, and just wanted to leave a riddle and a message that should be fun to solve. 🙂 See you tomorrow!
“I am the beginning of the end, the end of every place. I am the beginning of eternity, the end of time and space.”
What am I?
(Trust me the riddle is language related)
