Despite how quickly the summer went, I hope that everyone is ready to start a brand new school year. There will be more to come on how my summer went, but for now, I would just like to welcome everyone back to school and back to English class. Just like any other school year, there will be changes and challenges, but with hard work and perseverance, we will make it through, and hopefully have a great time in the process!
I would also like to welcome the freshmen to my English class. Even those who have already had me in reading, get ready for a whole new experience. This class will be challenging, but if you work diligently, then you will do just fine! Don't be afraid to approach me and ask me questions, whether it be about English class or life in general. My door is always open (metaphorically speaking. Sometimes I have to close it if it's loud in the hall, or if I'm having a meeting, or something like that. You get the idea).
In the coming weeks, we are all going to be pushing through and doing many different types of reading and writing. I encourage everyone to give everything their best shot and keep an open mind with everything we do. Reading and writing can be tough, but it is also very rewarding if you just give it a shot. Remember, if you approach something with a bad attitude, it will probably be just as bad as you think it's going to be. However, if you go into something thinking that there is a possibility for you to enjoy it, then maybe you will!
Overall, I just want to wish everyone a great school year and encourage you to do your best in every endeavor that you undertake. No matter what challenge you end up facing, there is someone at this school willing to help you, whether it be myself or any other staff member. However, all the encouragement in the world may not change the fact that a lot of you feel like the kids in this video:
Good luck, and enjoy the new school year,
Mrs. Weiss
Well I like your blog. I hope you had a good summer. What did you do? Well I am excited to see what I will do this year. I am not really looking forward to presenting in front of the class second quarter. Well hope you have a good day bye!
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful summer! I hope you did too! I am also looking forward to the new class and they new school year! I can't wait to be in your class every day!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm not really excited to start the school year I wish the summer was longer. But I guess I am ready for a new start in English class. I'm really hoping this school year goes by fast so then I will have some new challenges to face.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to be back at school. I can't wait for us to start reading and writing, even though English isn't my favorite or best subject. I am really excited for the speech portion of this year because I am a speech freak. I love writing and I am ready for this year.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely my summer went by to fast for me too, my summer was consumed by work and football. The football part was fun the work part not so much.
ReplyDeleteI am not excited for to school to start at all, this summer went by way to fast. The only good thing about school starting is you get to see your friends everyday and sports are starting. Other than that i am not excited that school is starting.
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of this blog I felt as if you were going to tell us about how your summer went and what you did throughout it, but that is not how your blog went at all! I am sad that summer is officially over, but I am excited and ready to face this new school year.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the warm welcome! It sounds like you had a pretty good summer! I had a pretty good summer also! See you in class! Bye now!
ReplyDeleteThis summer I went to Indianapolis and Tennessee for three and a half weeks. It was fun. I also got my license this summer. I heard English 10 was really hard so to be honest I am not too excited about it this year.
ReplyDeleteThis summer went by really fast and was completely consumed by baseball, football, basketball, and work. But the definite highlight of my summer was building a 1979 Buick demolition derby car. I competed in the Lincoln county Fair Derby and came in second behind my father.
ReplyDeleteHI miss Weiss in glad to see you this year to i like the changes that you made this year and the frishmen pep talk i thank we will have a good year you have a goood day :)
ReplyDeleteThis summer went by really fast! I hope that your summer was good as mine was. You know I really think that this year is going to be a really great year for us all.
ReplyDeleteI really do like the changes that you have made this year. I like how we don't have quarterly responses this year. I am somewhat excited for this year because of what you told us on what we are doing.
ReplyDeleteI am excited for the new school year to start, I mean you get a fresh start, you get the chance to change things for the better. Last year was not a good year for me, so I am hoping for a better year. I also had an amazing summer, went to Niagara Falls, Colorado a bunch of times, and hung out with Bre a lot, and I worked a lot. It was a really great summer for me this year.
ReplyDeleteThis summer went by way to fast. I love the changes that you have made and I totally agree about the whole attitude thing if you go into it with a bad attitude then you definitely wont like it so the encouraging you have done in your blog really does help. So thank you.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to be here and I don't want to be doing blogs again.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the encouragement. Although I am not that excited for the school year I am very excited that I am not a freshman anymore!! Freshman year was probably my bad year in my high school career.
ReplyDeleteWhale I am so excited for this year but I don't think I am very prepared because I have been forgetting a bunch of things. I had a very good summer. I went to New Jersey and New York for a mission trip. I had a pretty good summer.
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome! I cant wait to see what you have in store for us this year. I am looking forward to learning new things in your class this year. I hope this year goes by fast, cant wait to graduate.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for uplifting my spirits more on the idea of starting high school as a freshman. I was a little nervous about starting high school, but you make it sound a whole lot more fun than other classes. I'm sure I will enjoy your class, and I can't wait to start writing again for reports and other projects you assign.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your encouragement on this school year. I am very exited, yet nervous, to be a freshman! Hopefully this year is going to be a lot of fun!! I wish the summer wouldn't of gone by so fast though..
ReplyDeleteI am very excited for this year just because of how many opportunities I can have, but it is also scary because of all the changes to. This summer baseball was my life. 2/3 of my summer was baseball, playing here and there. Once ball was over my summer was pretty dull. I had a pretty good summer though.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm ready to be a Freshman, but my summer had gone by way to fast. My summer was mostly about baseball until the middle of July. When it was over I had nothing to do, but hang with friends. Now there is nothing to do, but so go to school so I guess I better get use to it.
ReplyDeleteI am excited becuse I passed junior high. I forgot how to type so I type really slow. I hope you will have fun this year
ReplyDeleteI agree the summer did go quick! At the beginning of the summer it felt like I had all the time in the world, but towards the end it dawned on me that I did not have as much time as I thought I did. This made me sad as I was reminded of the harsh though of having to go back to school!
ReplyDeleteThis summer went by so fast, I really just wish it was still summer. I can't wait to hear about how everyone's summer went. Its crazy that we are Juniors this year. It seems like time flies by so fast.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to welcome the freshmen to your English class. I would like to wish them good luck. I know what they're in for and hopefully they are religious because they need help from the lord.
ReplyDeleteI am not excited for school to start, I am just excited for work to get over. I think that giving your best shot at everything is good advice. I feel kind of nervous because some of my classes are really hard. I decided I actually like English class because its allows you to express yourself and thoughts. The grammar part of English though, I could do without.
ReplyDeleteHey Mrs W! I am actually not looking forward to school but it sounds like you are! I am exited for our football season though. We are expected to do great things and we just try to win the day every chance we get. I hope you can come watch us at the home games.
ReplyDeleteThis summer went by really fast or at least that's what I think. I honestly could have used another month of summer, but that isn't going to happen. The reason it went by so fast was because of summer weights and sport camps. Anyways, even though I'm not feeling so into school yet I will try my best in your class and I will not be afraid to ask you questions if I need to.
ReplyDeleteI am really excited to get back into the school year and try to improve my grades from last year. I thought the summer took a while to pass by though maybe it was because I was working all the time which sucked but at the same time I made a lot of money and my supervisors let me say whatever I want so it wasn't to bad.
ReplyDeleteThe freshmen should feel welcome in your English class, because your class is oh so fun and interesting. Especially reading Romeo and Juliet! That was dope, yo. I'm glad to be back in school, and I plan to work hard and get good grades and whatnot
ReplyDeleteSummer went really really fast and I am not very excited for the reading and writing parts coming up though. That is the my least favorite thing to in school. When it comes time to do it I try to think positively and it goes downhill from there.
ReplyDeleteThis summer went by extremely fast! I think that everyone will have a great year and it will go by as fast as the summer did! I never knew that your door was always open, but now I do thanks!
ReplyDeleteSchool should be pushed back a few weeks. Honestly that would be really great. I am happy to welcome the freshman class and hope they are prepared for the things that are coming. Everyone has bad days sometimes and hopefully we will leave it at the door. But I am not making any promises.
ReplyDeletethanks bro.
DeleteThis summer went by extremely fast! I think that everyone will have a great year and it will go by as fast as the summer did! I never knew that your door was always open, but now I do thanks!
ReplyDeleteSummer was way to fast. I was actually pretty excited for school to start. I missed my friends and some of my teachers. I am trying to be more positive this year. Also since this class is in the afternoon we aren't all grumpy like we were last year. But I wish you all a great year!
ReplyDeleteI agree that the summer went by way too fast. I wish we could have summer forever because I extremely dislike school. School is the worst. It is the same as getting a nine month sentence to prison with weekends off. I mean you get bossed around and told what to do and you have to do it or there will be consequences. To me it sounds like prison.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to encourage us to do our best in whatever we do and in each new endeavor. That was very kind of you. I am, however, very disappointed in the fact that you kindly took the time to type a whole paragraph welcoming the freshman back to school. Why do they get one and not us? Is it cause they are fresh? Anyways, I would have appreciated an entire paragraph dedicated to just our class. Thanks for the disappointment.
ReplyDeleteThank you for encouraging us! I feel like summer went by way to fast and should at least be pushed back until after my birthday, I'm excited to be a freshman though and excited for sports to start.
ReplyDeleteAs my first comment, I would like to thank Mrs. Weiss for welcoming us Freshmen. I'm not sure what I am feeling about the start of school. I am glad that we are back to learning about the wide world, but I am going to miss doing nothing all day because we have to go to school.
ReplyDeleteI am not ready for summer to be over i wish we had school the days that we had summer and we had school the days of summer because the only reason that i go to school is because i half to or i would not go so all of you guys have a good year??!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly I would like to start school later, but I'd rather get out earlier in the summer than to be the last school in the surrounding area to dismiss for the summer. I think high school will be an exciting and very fun experience, and I am glad to finally be starting out.
ReplyDeletethank you for the warming welcome. In hope u did have a good summer too and also agree with the summer. It was fast. I am excited for this year too, I hope u make it fun for the holl class. Also u are the most fun, funny, nice teacher that will i ever had.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Weiss.Thank you for making us excited for this new school and I look forward to this school year with you. I also promise to read your blogs as well.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see what we will learn this year. Thanks for the warming welcome.If I have any questions I will make sure to come and ask questions if i have any throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteSummer really did go by way to fast! I want it to be the beginning of summer again. Even though I'm super excited to be a freshmen. I'm excited since there's drama starting and I'm actually even excited to do speech.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, Im really nervous for this school year starting out as a freshmen. I'm not really ready because summer has gone by way too fast! Its very different transitioning from junior high to high school. But thanks for encouraging us!
ReplyDeleteI agree, summer went by way too quickly, I feel like just last week we were cleaning out our lockers for summer vacation. Thank you for all the encouragement it makes me feel a lot better about freshmen year and English class.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement, i am really nervous because I am a new student, so its frightening. So far i see that you are a really cool and nice teacher. And I loved when you started talking about your doors being open, that was funny.
ReplyDeleteSummer did go by fast. But at the beginning it was like Summer was never gonna end. But once it was my birthday it was going by to fast. I sometimes wonder where all the time goes. Sometimes I wonder how can school goes so slow.
ReplyDeleteAnd so far you have been my favorite teachers.
ReplyDeleteSummer flashed before my eyes. I didn't get to do anything this summer but chores work and friends. The only thing I did this summer that was all right was canoeing with our church. I didn't think it was going to be very fun. It turns out if you only go out of the town for a couple of hours it feels like you are in another country.
ReplyDeleteThe summer went by so fast and I didn't want the summer to end, but I am excited for the school year to start.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree with you more about the summer going really fast, one second it was June, and the next thing I know its the first day of school. No offense, but I really wish the school year could go that fast! There were so many things I planned on doing this summer that I wish I still had time to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to be a cliche and bore you with the details of my summer. I totally agree that we should have a positive attitude and an open mind. It just brings chill vibes.
ReplyDeleteI am actually kind of happy that school started because I have bee so bored all summer because there really wasn't anything to do. I am not excited for all the homework though. I hope this year is really good.
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for this year to be done and over with. I want it to be summer again so I can go camping and boating a lot more. I am so glad you had a good summer.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what other people say. It's the worst class ever. But it's not the best.At first I didn't really like this class to begin with but it eventually got a lot better.
ReplyDeletei feel like school went and came so quickly. i link that it happiness all the time and i feel like school would be a little easier this year. it also has a lot of new things but a lot of them i like, like extra credit from Quaternary reading responses...
ReplyDeleteWell I am not very excited for school to start. I wanted summer to last forever. Well this weekend I am going to a dance maybe so that shall be fun. Except that some of my friends aren't going so I might not go. Anyways good blog!
ReplyDeleteI am not excited for school to start. I am glad I will have something to do but I am not a fan of some of my classes. I hope the freshmen have a good time in your class and I hope they have as good of a time as we did last year.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for your English class this year because we are going to be doing speech! So that's exciting. I'm excited to write short stories too! I hope it's going to be a good year.
ReplyDeleteSo apparently I dont comment on this blog when I thought I did. So its a good thing I checked. tbh I'm not excited to be here. I hate school, but its a new year so maybe my feelings will change. I doubt it though. The only thing I'm excited for is SPEECH.
ReplyDeleteI am not looking forward to this long school year. I am not looking forward to english class either. It is nothing against you Mrs. Weiss I just dont like english. I am ready for football games how ever they are the highlight of the whole school year.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion school starts too early. We should have a few more weeks pushed back. Thanks for the encouragement, I am definitely excited to finally be in high school.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the welcome. I honestly feel like summer didn't really last long. I really don't want to come back to school but I'll get over it, I have lazy issues. I also hope my classes won't be to hard but I already know that it wont be super easy so either way I hope it'll be a good year so I can't complain about next year yet.
ReplyDeleteEven though i wish it was still summer and we didn't have school but I know if school starts then football starts. I hope that you had a good summer and hope that you have a good school year to.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for the new experience in high school but I think summer went way too fast. Thanks for being encouraging and I hope this year will be great!
ReplyDeleteSummer went by way to fast. But I'm excited to be in high school. It is stressful having late practice and then coming home and having to study for tests and then drama rehearsal, then get up early and go to band rehearsal! But im starting to get used to the craziness. It will be worth it in the long run!!
ReplyDeleteThis summer was a really good one! It really didn't end way too soon, but so many memories were made during it. School is an easy way to become more responsible and accountable and the best life lessons are taught through-out the school year.
ReplyDeleteSummer went by very fast. But this summer was also a very good summer. My summer was also very crazy for me! especially during fair! Thanks for being encouraging I hope my freshman year will be great!
ReplyDeleteI agree that summer went REALLY fast up until the last week of summer before school because I was stuck in the hospital for 9 days. I am happy that other people had a fun summer. Luckily people came a saw me and gave me LOT of things :) I am so popular !!!! lol
ReplyDeletehey it sounds like you had a pretty good summer like i kinda did for most of the summer
ReplyDeleteSummer went by to fast and I didn't get to do as much as I wanted. I wish we had more time but then we would loose some of the good weather. I think it kinda works our pretty good.
ReplyDeleteIt is always important to look at positively. Starting at a new school is really weird but i am going to have my head and do my best.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty neat. Like the new hair cut you have. This year will be a blast
ReplyDelete
