PROBLEM

Mr. Buresh,
I have I problem. I've been given the curse of writing WAY to much for reports and biographies. I finished my rough draft and it's 3 pages and a 1/4 a page. And there's more.... that's in 1.5 spacing. Double Spaced it's like 4 pages and 1/4. My dad is reading it to take out some of the unimportant details, but it's SO HARD!!! How do I cut it down? And MacArthur did so much... in the book I read, it said in the 50 years he served, he has the more accomplishments than any other general! And ugh... Can you help me?

Interviewing Family

Mr. Buresh,
I don't know anyone in my family that was in World War II. I called my grandpa and the only people that were in WWII died. I have 1 person, my Uncle Boy (technically great uncle)but he's in the hospital and lost his memory, well a lot of it. So what do I do? And all the people in my neighborhood are young so none could be in WWII. What do I do? And when's this due? THANKS!!!

Homework

Hey guys okay I wrote down all my hw and i was in a rush and i forgot my planner at schooL!!!! can someone please tell me the hw!!! IM DESPERATE! please
~Rebecca

Hitler Speech??

Mr. B.
I am not gonna lie I am a little bit stressed about this Hitler speech.... I practiced A LOT but it really isn't good and i don't feel good about it and I don't know what to do and I have lots of questions so here are a few...... I am not sure that I fully understand what the requirements are for the Hitler speech resiting or whatever you want to call it. I mean I understand that you don't want us to make fun of Hitler and I understand that you will be grading it but I don't understand how we are exactly supposed to say it with the same inspiring and captivating way that Hitler used to almost enchant his audience. And I also don't understand how you said that you don't want it to seem like we are reading it..... I mean I understand that Hitler had notes and sometimes nonchalantly looked down but i don't think that I will be able to do I like that because I didn't write that speech and I don't quite understand what he is telling his listeners during my part which makes it difficult not to read it and you said that we have to say it word for word but that we dont have to memorize it and we cant look down at the paper so I don't think that I quite understand how that adds up... Also I don't really know what emotion to give off..... also are we allowed to use hand motions I am pretty sure that we aren't but I'm just checking because if we are trying to act like Hitler during his speeches then they are pretty mandatory...... Also I am not sure what tone of voice to use.... And finally (for now) how good do you expect/want this to be?????????????
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aunt drew yo also-o tengo mi spirit-o en mexico

Prayer Request

Hey guys.... I had a prayer request. My neighbor's dog died yesterday and so I was wondering if you guys could pray for the Forresters (my neighbor) and for me. I know this sounds weird but I was REALLY close to Toby (the dog) and I've known him my whole life. Cause he was 14 and I'm only 13. He was like a 2nd dog to me, and so I'm really sad right now. So if you guys would be willing to pray for me and the Forresters thad be sweet. Thanks!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! (<-- ahh... Christmas is almost here!)

~Hannah

Dear 8th Grade:

Movie!

Ok, I saw this movie trailer and the movie was called "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and it was about like a little boy's father becoming a soldier for Germany so they have to move and then the little boy explores in his new back yard and finds a consantration camp :( and he sees another little boy and they find out that they are the same age and then the one little boy not in the consantration camp is like why are you wearing pajamas and then the other little boy was like cause the soldiers took all our clothes then the little boy with a soldier father is like well my father is a soldeir but he doesnt take clothes then the little boys become friends and then a bunch of stuff happens and im pretty sure that the one boy is killed but thats a guess and also the little boy whose father is a soldier is for Germany meaning that he does take the clothes.......... the bottom line is that it goes along with our unit and seems like it would be worth us going to see as a class so i think that we should have a field trip to go see it cause its out now in theaters!
Thanks!!!

Weekend Homework

Here's hoping you all are enjoying this beautiful weekend!

For those not with us Friday your unit test make ups are Monday.

For those with us you get a head start on the other folks by reading the front and back of the handout on the Great Depression and the front and back of the handout on Making a New Map following WWI. Getting this out of the way will make your reading load lighter as we move full swing into the lead up to WWII. Buckle your seat belts and prepare for take-off!! Mr. B

P.S. I had an unbelievable number of grand parents, parents and fellow teachers go on and on about your journals. Your heart-felt work is touching and inspiring many people!

Math Homework?

I forget, whats the math homework?

Thank you for a Great Day!

We made it! We completed the first leg of our quest. Your virtue projects are amazing! The spirit in which you took on the challenge of your first 8th grade unit test, your confidence, your hopefulness all brings joy to my heart. Thank you!

On tuesday we make the transition to the challenges of our day. We will begin with the difficulties that your grandparents faced: the Great Depression and a real life Sauron: Adolph Hitler. Your grandparents and in some cases great-grandparents have been called by some the greatest generation of Americans! May we be inspired by their example of fortitude and courage in the face of great challenges! Enjoy your long weekend and may you not experience the numbing aftereffects of too much candy! Mr. B
