    1. The plan: Mr. McLean is working with the Hot Lunch parents to make sure that all Fortius students have their name on their lunch ready in our class. We should arrive back at 12, eat, then leave at 12:15. Worst case scenario we will take our lunch with us, eat at Fortius, and start Kids Move a little later than usual.

  1. Hi Mme, when we talked briefly in class, it seemed that you didn’t like my three topics (yes, no and what are the other options. Do you think that I should change? Or maybe voice my opinion? Merci!

    1. You never told me your three topics. In fact I insisted you didn’t tell me because I don’t want to influence what interests you. I want you to write your rough. Support it. I will give you feedback and we will go from there.

  2. Pour le AO je fais les effets derecevoir les jeux olympiques est-ce que mes 3 paragraphes peuvent etre les positifs les negatifs et mon opinion?

  3. Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
    I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed
    She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
    In the shape of an “L” on her forehead
    Well the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
    Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
    Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
    Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
    So much to do, so much to see
    So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
    You’ll never know if you don’t go
    You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
    Hey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play
    Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid
    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold
    It’s a cool place and they say it gets colder
    You’re bundled up now, wait till you get older
    But the meteor men beg to differ
    Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
    The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
    The water’s getting warm so you might as well swim
    My world’s on fire, how about yours?
    That’s the way I like it and I never get bored
    Hey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play
    Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid
    All that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold
    Hey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play
    Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show, on get paid
    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars
    Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas?
    I need to get myself away from this place
    I said yep what a concept
    I could use a little fuel myself
    And we could all use a little change
    Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming
    Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
    Didn’t make sense not to live for fun
    Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
    So much to do, so much to see
    So what’s wrong with taking the back streets?
    You’ll never know if you don’t go (go!)
    You’ll never shine if you don’t glow
    Hey now, you’re an all-star, get your game on, go play
    Hey now, you’re a rock star, get the show on, get paid
    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold
    And all that glitters is gold
    Only shooting stars break the mold

  4. Quelqu’un m’a dit un jour que le monde allait m’enrouler
    Je ne suis pas l’outil le plus coupant dans la cabane (à
    outils)
    Elle avait l’air idiote avec son doigt et son pouce
    Qui formaient un ‘L’ sur son front

    Bon les années commencent à passer et elles n’en finissent
    pas
    Nourris aux règles et j’ai frappé le plancher en courant
    Ne pas vivre pour le plaisir n’avait aucun sens
    Ton cerveau devient brillant mais ta tête devient idiote

    Tant de choses à faire, tant de choses à voir
    Donc qu’y a-t-il de mal à passer par les ruelles
    Tu ne sauras jamais si tu n’y vas pas
    Tu ne brilleras jamais si tu ne rayonnes pas

    Hé maintenant tu es une vedette, tu fais ton jeu, vas
    jouer
    Hé maintenant tu es une vedette du Rock, tu fais le
    spectacle, fais-toi payer
    Et tout ce qui brille est d’or
    Seulement les vedettes étincellantes brisent le moule (2)

    C’est un endroit chouette et ils disent qu’il se refroidit
    Tu es entouré actuellement mais de vieillir un peu
    Mais l’homme étincellant a une autre opinion
    A en juger par le trou dans l’image satellite

    La glace sur laquelle nous patinons devient très mince
    L’eau devient chaude alors tu devrais nager toi aussi
    Mon monde est enflammé et le tien ?
    C’est comme ça que je l’aime et je ne me suis jamais
    ennuyé

    Quelqu’un m’a un jour demandé : peux-tu me faire de la
    monnaie pour (acheter) de l’essence ?
    J’ai besoin de m’en aller d’ici
    J’ai dit ‘yep’ quel concept
    Je peux utiliser un peu d’essence moi-même
    Et nous pouvons tous utiliser un peu de monnaie

    Bon les années commencent à passer et elles n’en finissent
    pas
    Nourris aux règles et j’ai frappé le plancher en courant
    Ne pas vivre pour le plaisir n’avait aucun sens
    Ton cerveau devient brillant mais ta tête devient idiote

    Tant de choses à faire, tant de choses à voir
    Donc qu’y a-t-il de mal à passer par les ruelles
    Tu ne sauras jamais si tu n’y vas pas
    Tu ne brilleras jamais si tu ne rayonnes pas
