Have a great weekend!

I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to read this website! I want to be sure to remind people that there will be a rollerskating party at the Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale. The details can be found under the label "fun". Please be sure to check back on this website over the weekend because I will be posting some pictures from the party. It will be a lot of fun.

I hope that everyone has a really spectacular weekend! I look forward to seeing you all again on Monday!

I leave you now with a question. How many times do you think Mr. Patterson fell during the rollerskating party? Use the comments to post your guesses. I will reveal the answer on Monday!

PS: I did a little investigation and according to a certain rating system, our website reading level is very high!

Comments

In an effort to be experimental, I have made it possible for students to leave comments about the posts on this website. I want everyone to have a say in how we use this site and I would like to hear feedback from my students about the different items that I post.

With this in mind I do, however, have several rules about the comments.

-You must be a registered user. This is easy to do. All you need is an email address. Go to www.blogger.com and sign up for an account using your email address.

-Comments must be respectful and polite using only appropriate language. If you don't like something, that's fine. Please express your feelings in an appropriate way.

-Have fun! Express yourself and join in the discussion with the rest of Mr. Patterson's students!

"Let's see, what could I ask that would get students to leave comments?", thought Mr. Patterson. "How about 'How old do you think Mr. Patterson is?' Yeah, that should get the students to leave some comments!", he concluded. As Mr. Patterson left his computer to go clean his room, he wondered about the different ages that his students would guess and he laughed.
