Presidential Inauguration

After watching and reading about the Presidential Inauguration, I'd like you to reflect on what you think it means to be the President of the United States. Think about the responsibilities this person has to our government, the citizens, and to the other countries we work with.

In your reply, please share what you think our President's greatest challenges will be, how will he get Congress to support his ideas, and what do you think his legacy will be?

Please remember to include your initials. Thank you.

Eye no two many words

Notice anything weird about the title of this blog post? I used some homophones incorrectly.

For homework, I had asked you to create riddles or tongue twisters using homophones from your spelling list. Please share some of your silly sentences in your reply to this blog.

Please remember to include your initials. Thank you.

If I met the President of the United States

Many people have been fortunate enough to meet and speak with the President of the United States. Next Tuesday, President-Elect Barack Obama will take the oath of office and be sworn in as the next president.

If you had an opportunity to speak to him, what would you like to discuss? Or, perhaps you would like to show him something around your community if he came to visit Roswell.

In your reply, please complete this statement: If I met the president...

Please use descriptive language and details, and don't forget your initials so you receive credit for your reply.

Thank you.
