Dear Students,
Welcome! 
"Back in the day" when I was in the 8th grade, I memorized "IF," the poem to the right. I recited it for a contest. I can't remember if I won, but I still know this poem by heart, and even though I'm your grandma's age, I still love it!  
I thought you might like it too, so I added a link. 

You'll find lots of wisdom for your life in this poem.

If any visitor has memorized this and has posted it on youtube.com, we'd love to see the link. 

Students under age 16: Your parent or teacher can just send us an email with the link to mylanguagerocks.@gmail.com

Dear Students and Teachers, This is one of our most popular pages. Welcome if you're new and welcome back if you're returning! Happy March 6th. I'm your grandma's age, but I remember 5th and 6th grade! We didn't have "Civics" until 8th grade in 1963. That's 60 years ago, but here I am still appreciating the words "justice," "tranquility,"and the "general welfare" for all people. BTW, This is not the easiest fill-in-the-blank in the world, so congratulations if you have this down! Happy Day. Miss Billie

Preamble to the Constitution - Verbs

"IF" by Rudyard Kipling
(The full poem has the answer to the "if" - just remember the wisdom is for both boys and girls) 

If you can keep your head when all about you   
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;   
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise
