September, 2nd, 09 1. JOURNAL: If you could change one thing about MS, what would it be and why? At least 7 sentences. The thing that i would like to change is allowing students. Because we do our project, we play around, and etc after school, but if they are not allowing us, the school is like a jail where we only study. Also, because teacher have to supervise us, or we can't to anything, and if teacher supervise us, it feels being watched. All the kids like to play, and kids like to study, and do homework with our friends, but KIS doesn't let us, so it is kind of sad.I think KIS should let us play around. Also, i think it would be better for kids to not mess around after we play. 2. Work on skit--15 vocab words from ch 1-7 of //Ulysses//.
