This month we're going to recall Summer Songs. These will all be records that topped the charts during August.
1) Number 1 on the charts in August 20 years ago, "We Belong Together" is about the end of this romantic relationship. Mariah sings that now she won't have anyone to talk to on the phone until the sun comes up. That was then. Today many people prefer to text than to talk on the phone. Are you one of those people? indeed, I am!
2) The video for this song features an elaborate wedding. Tell us about the last wedding you attended. I don't recall
3) Mariah believes she inherited her musical gifts from her mom, who was an opera singer and vocal coach. When things were hectic in their household, Mariah recalls that music helped bring her and her mom closer together. Share a happy childhood memory featuring you and one of your parents. my dad and I traveled to Belgium, the Netherlands, and France together in a whirlwind trip--it was the first time I realized that I have a wonderful adult relationship with him
4) After graduating from high school in Long Island, Mariah Carey went to Manhattan in search of stardom. While waiting for her big break, she enrolled in beauty school and waited tables. Both stylists and servers receive gratuities for their services. Do you consider yourself a good tipper? yes, I think I'm a generous tipper
5) The Fresh Air Fund operates six camps in the New York area to provide kids with a chance to learn and explore outdoors. They named Camp Mariah in Ms. Carey's honor to thank her for her support. Here's your chance to toot your own horn. Tell us about an honor you received. (Anything from a major award to a handmade drawing that says "World's Best Mom" counts. We want to hear about it.) a student gave me a small Best Teacher Ever sign and wrote a heartfelt message on the back
6) Mariah has mentioned she enjoys pizza and red wine. Will you be enjoying either pizza or red wine this weekend? possibly pizza
Let's look at the summer of 2005.
7) The biggest news story that summer was Hurricane Katrina. This deadly and destructive storm killed over 1,000 people and did more than $100 billion in damage. Have you ever endured a natural disaster (such as hurricane, flood, landslide, tornado, blizzard, wildfire)? blizzards, the tail ends of hurricanes, and the occasional earthquake
8) Popular that summer was Kingda Ka, the new roller coaster at Six Flags Great America in Jackson, NJ. At the time, it was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the world. Have you been to any fairs or amusement parks this summer? no, I have not
9) Award-winning American figure skater Alysa Liu was born in August of 2005. NBC Sports and their Peacock network report that figure skating events get high ratings. What's your favorite sport to watch on TV? the Olympics--that way I get a wide variety

Nice award!
I am so jealous of you and your dad! I love it that your student handwrote something on the back of that card you treasure. I miss seeing my friend John's handwriting.
