New School Year!

Welcome Back to School

“Dear students, the summer has ended.
The school year at last has begun.
But this year is totally different.A-New-School-Year-300x200
I promise we’ll only have fun.

“We won’t study any mathematics,
and recess will last all day long.
Instead of the pledge of allegiance,
we’ll belt out a rock-and-roll song.

“We’ll only play games in the classroom.
You’re welcome to bring in your toys.
It’s okay to run in the hallways.
It’s great if you make lots of noise.

“For homework, you’ll play your Nintendo.
You’ll have to watch lots of T.V.
For field trips we’ll go to the movies
and get lots of candy for free.

“The lunchroom will only serve chocolate
and triple fudge sundaes supreme.”
Yes, that’s what I heard from my teacher
before I woke up from my dream.

–Kenn Nesbitt

EXAMPLE: If your denomination is Methodist try “Methodist Church”, “Methodist”, “Methodists”, “Methodism” or “Methodis*”

2) Grab the citation at the start when you find something helpful!!!!  You can make a Word or Google doc to go alongside your research to note these. This will become your bibliography.
