Another Day, Another Adventure

On the student desk, by the book case, you will find a page called cruising for coconuts. I would like for you to grab that page and get started filling it out. Please remember that if there are several lines avaliable, I am expecting several lines of writing. Once you are done you may play first to 100 with a partner. I am looking for a guru who would like to remind friends of the rules.
