I'm sure that your Arabic teacher will be talking a lot about Lebanese Independence Day -- November 22. This year it falls on a Sunday, so we have no school on Monday, November 23.

What fun learning about subjects and predicates can be.
This is the tale of Mister Morton
Mister Morton is who?
He is the subject of our tale
and the predicate tells what Mister
Morton must do
Mister Morton walked down the street
Mister Morton walked
Mister Morton talked to his cat
Mister Morton talked
(Hello, cat. You look good.)
Mister Morton was lonely
Mister Morton was
Mister Morton is the subject of the
sentence, and what the predicate says,
he does
Mister Morton knew just one girl
Mister Morton knew
Mister Morton grew flowers for Pearl
Mister Morton grew
Mister Morton was very shy
Mister Morton was
Mister Morton is the subject of the
sentence, and what the predicate says,
he does
The subject is a noun,
that's a person, place or thing
It's who or what the sentence is about
And the predicate is the verb
That's the action word
that gets the subject up and out
Mister Morton wrote Pearl a poem
Mister Morton wrote
Pearl replied in the afternoon
Pearl replied by a note
Mister Morton was very nervous
Mister Morton was
Mister Morton is the subject of the
sentence, and what the predicate says,
he does!
The cat stretched,
the sun beat down,
a neighbor chased his kid.
(Come here kid - come on!)
Each sentence is completed when
you know what the subject did.
Mister Morton knocked on her door
Mister Morton knocked
Mister Morton sat on her porch
Yes, he just sat there and rocked.
Mister Morton was a nervous man;
when she opened up the door he ran.
Mister Morton climbed up his stairs
Mister Morton climbed
Mister Morton rhymed pretty words
Mister Morton rhymed
Mister Morton was lonely
Mister Morton was
until Pearl showed up with a single rose.
Who says women can't propose?
Now Mister Morton is happy
and Pearl and the cat are too
They're the subjects of the sentence
and what the predicate says, they do

Third Grade is a lot of fun, but with that fun comes some responsibility.
Now that you're in the 3rd grade, you'll be logging into ACS computers with your own personal user name and password. You'll have to remember that user name (log-in) for all your ACS life! You'll be setting your own passwords for several different accounts. First, for the ACS log-in. Second for your Garfield account, and third for you new individual blog.
What makes a good password? That's a question we'll be answering in the next few weeks. You can start thinking about it now, but until we have class again, good luck on MAP Testing! (Taking these tests is another responsibility of a 3rd grader.)
