A variety of Tests...

For the first time, the kids entered a Speech contest... they each recited the poem "Mr. Nobody".

Mr. Nobody
I know a funny little man,
As quiet as a mouse,
Who does the mischief that is done
In everybody's house!
There's no one ever sees his face,
And yet we all agree
That every plate we break was cracked
by Mr. Nobody.

'Tis he who always tears our books,
Who leaves the door ajar,
He pulls the buttons from our shirts,
And scatters pins afar;
That squeaking door will always squeak,
For, prithee, don't you see,
We leave the oiling to be done
By Mr. Nobody.

The finger marks upon the door
By none of us are made;
We never leave the blinds unclosed,
To let the curtains fade.
The ink we never spill; the boots
That lying 'round you see
Are not our boots--they all belong
To Mr. Nobody.


It was a great experience that we plan to repeat next year. Here are each of them reciting:





Kelley underwent a different kind of test, and also received a positive reaction:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Time to rename the blog! Any suggestions? We have until late October...

you could try 'sensational six', but might want to instead go with 'sensational seven' just to be on the safe side - then maybe you won't have to re-name again...

I'm sure everyone was nervous during the testing!:)
