A Pun

Hello All,

     Welcome back from vacation! We are starting right off with poetry, but I thought a little pun would make a great appetizer.

There's a hare in my food!

     This week, we discuss what makes a poem into poetry and learn the basic terms we need to dive deeper into poem analysis and writing. It should be fun!*

Sincerely,
Mr. DeMaris


*Well, for those of us who like English….

Finishing Mythology

Hello All,

     We have finished Norse Mythology here in Language Arts, which means we will be moving on to poetry after vacation. Yesterday afternoon, I started recording a few videos of some of the stories; while I couldn't get the same amount of energy as we had in the classroom, with the limited space in front of the camera, I will be posting some or all of the stories online for listening later or recapping at another time. Here is the link to the first part of the first story; go to YouTube to see the rest as they are posted!

Sincerely,

Mr. DeMaris

Snow Day!

Hello All,

     There is no school today for MSAD #6; Bonny Eagle Middle School is closed due to the sudden arrival of an impending snowstorm. Enjoy your impromptu three-day weekend, and stay safe! The staff-student basketball game scheduled for today will be rescheduled for Thursday of next week.

Sincerely,
Mr. DeMaris

Friday!

Hello All!

     Friday is a Hat Day, so be sure to bring in a dollar and your favorite hat. The money will go toward a Hannaford gift card to support a local family who recently suffered a traumatic event. Please remember this — it is important.

     Friday morning is also the staff-student basketball game! The eighth grade boys' and girls' teams will compete against the staff to see who is really the best, and who has the most fans. Staff:  make sure you wear white! Students:  bring your A-game and, don't forget, your hats!

Excitedly,

Mr. DeMaris
