First Day of School....:(

Woke up feeling excited, nervouse, tired, and that feeling of having to go to school....but you get to see your friends, right! (:

My new schedule:

Math
Science
Adv. Musical Theatre
Civics
Adv. Broadcasting (Graphic Design)
Lang. Arts

Math:
I walked in the room after rejoicing with all f my friends in the courtyard. Then took a seat next to a girl I knew and we went over a slideshow concerning how to behave and guidelines for the school year. Also we recieved a workbook. My new teacher seems nice with a sense of humor.


Science:
As I entered the room, everyone was hitting the teacher's elbow with their elbows. It was kind of strange but I guess that's how she greets all of her students. Then she went over a few things and passed papers around like the syllabus and things like that. We also went over the same slideshow from 1st period.

Adv. Musical Theatre:
Went into the room, this is the class I had last year except this time it included musical theatre and you can get lead roles in this class! (: She told us that the show we would be doing is "Annie" and auditions are next week. We have to have prepared a monologue and a song! I know what monologue I'm going to do and now I just have to prepare a song.

Civics:
We went over the same slideshow we did in 1st and 2nd period...BORING! Then we discussed stuff about her class and recieved the syllabus. Then we went to lunch! I still need to bring a lunchbox...today I put my lunch inside my friend's lunchbox...(:

Adv. Broadcasting:
Same teacher as last year for my 4th period except this time I'm in his adv. 5th period class! (: We discussed more about his class and looked at one page of that boring slideshow I watched  in periods 1,2, and 4...except this time we discussed how bland and poorly made the slideshow was made! (: We talked about how it need brighter and exotic colors, transitions, new text, bulleted points instead of long paragraphs, etc. (:

Lang. Arts:
Today my language arts teacher had a baby boy at 12:00 so as you can guess, she wasn't there! We are going to have a substitute teach us for awhile but she was sayig we may have our teacher back by ext week! :) We went over the slideshow..:( Also we got a syllabus and some papers.

That was my day of school, see you next time!

Summer 2010!

     How is everyone's summer going? Mine? GREAT! For my traveling needs, I went on a road trip and also flew to Utah! In Utah I was greeted by incredible mountains! On the road trip, I was greeted each day to some place new and fresh to explore!

    These normal summer days I just wake up at noon, have lunch, "chillax," and rehearse for a play I'm in. Yes, it's a good and did I mention super fast summer! The summer has just flown by! But it's been filled with loads of laziness and fun! Hanging out with school buds, sticking around home, and well...not studying and worrying about what will happen tomorrow!

    Though school is starting as soon as it ended, it will be nice to get a new slot of teachers for the next year, see friends, and enjoy life at middle school!

     Keep checking my blog starting August 17, because the "Dragon Queen" will be up and writing for the next school year!

     Can't wait to tell you guys my new schedule and experience the thrills of 7th grade! (Which I will be entering!)  See you guys soon and be sure to comment on new posts!

I woke up with my mom asking me if I wanted to go to school or not. I said yes. She asked me because today was "Take your child to work day," and a half day so there was pretty much no reason to go to school, but I still went.

Woke up feeling very tired! Not a surprise for me! ;)

First Period:
We recieved the fourth mini project and completed the worksheet. Then we came up with an idea for the project part. We decided that we would make a mobile with a big pyramid at the top and mummies hanging down from it! Pretty creative if you ask me! :)

Second Period:
We watched a video on different types of animals in ecosystems. Also we worked on a paper that is homework.

Third Period:
We took a break from rehearsing the play and instead played a variety of improve games!

Fourth Period:
My friend who is working on the end of the year video with me, went around our school with me and took pictures! Then, we came back to the room, uploaded them, and added them to our video!

Fifth Period:
We researched on laptops the whole class! We were researching information on the topics we picked for our multi genre projects.

Sixth Period:
We went over homework and then worked on a study guide because we have a test on Friday. :(  Also, while we were working on our study guide, our teacher told us what we got on our two assesment tests we did two days ago and yesterday. I got a 90 on the first test and an 83 on the second which was very good! :) The stuff on that test was all the things somebody in the grade above us should know! But, to be able to go into pre-algebra, you needed to get a 94 on the first and an 80 on the second. So if I had gotten 4% more on the first test, I would have gone into pre-algebra! But, I'm glad I didn't because I think that class would be too hard for me since it's meant for people in high school.

That was our real deal, see you next time!

Woke up feeling the most tired I have been this week! :( Went back to sleep for five more minutes and then decided to wake up!

First Period:
We worked on our project part of the second mini project we had. We worked on a poster. While we were working, all of a sudden, in the dead silence, a sudden noise rang, "ALEX'S PHONE! ALEX'S PHONE! ALEX'S PHONE!" Everyone looked in the direction of the noise and we saw that Alex's(a girl in our class.) phone had went off. It was reallly funny! :)

Second Period:
We took our test! I got an 88% which is a B. I thought I got a 100% but I guess I didn't do as well as I thought! :( Then we watched a video on people who did drugs and now they don't. :)

Third Period:
We played theatre games. I went up and did one, it was fun!

Fourth Period:
We had a substituter and we watched a boring movie. :(

Fifth Period:

First Period:
My teacher told us about this difficult project we would be doing and soon, we started working on the project. We were suppose to have six different projects. We would get one project every two days. So we would have two days to work on one project. In each project, there is a packet of work you must complete and you have to choose a project you will do. You are allowed to work with a partner so my friend and I are working together! :)

Woke up feeling a little awake, because today was FRIDAY!

My mom and me went to Publix, to buy my friend a birthday balloon for school! Once I gave it to her, she was really happy! :)

First Period:
We finished doing all these mini projects, took a small census test for my school, and took the quiz! I think I did really well on it! :)

Second Period:
We had our quiz and I think it was a little harder for everyone. Then we talked about sexting.

Third Period:
Today at my school, they were testing my grade level to see if our backs were straight, how much we weighed, and how tall we were. So they were calling people by their last names alphabetically throughout the day. In third period, they called my letter so I went to the girls locker rooms with my friends, and waited to take the "test." They first checked my spine, then weighed me, and then measured how tall I was.

We worked on photoshop most of the time and had lunch outside. :)

We read the second section of the chapter in out textbooks. Then, since we had new seats and we were in groups, each group had a topic and you worked on it. Then, everyone switched topics, and you worked on it again.

We read and took notes on our own in the beginning of the class. (That was our "Do Now.") Then, we took more notes and did some worksheets.

Second Period:
Usually, we have a "Journal" that we have to write. (We actually write in journals!) ;) Todays journal was to write down all the ways you can have self esteem....? "How does that have to do with science?" Is that what your asking yourself? Well this week we are learning about reproductive systems, bullying, self esteem......blah blah blah. So we wrote in the journals and then we finished working on projects we had done yesterday

We practiced for "The Wizard of Oz" again. We are sounding great when we sing!

Back to School!

So apparently I never woke up when my mom woke me up, so I woke up extremely late. Therefore, my mom left to go to work and my dad had to drive me. At least I got to sleep in. :) I didn't have time to make my lunch so I decided to buy lunch.

First Period:
We took notes and learned about civilizations and how, when, and why they formed. Also, we learned about some of things we would be doing this quarter.

Second Period:
We had new seats so now I sit in the front. We wrote a little and now we are going to learn about the reproductive system for a while.

Third Period:
We rehearsed for "The Wizard of Oz" which is our second school play. I am a munchkin. :)

Fourth Period:
We worked on photoshop and learned about a website called prezi.com. It is a website that helps you present things.

Fifth Period:
We got into our reading groups and decided who was going to do what when we met up to have our next book discussion. I am going to be the "Discussion Director." :)

Sixth Period:
We learned how to square numbers. It was fairly easy.

I walked with my friend to the library and we chilled there until my mom picked me up.

That was our real deal, see you tomorrow!

SPRING BREAK HERE WE COME!

My mom woke me up reminding me that it was the last day of school before spring break, so that got me up! ;)

First Period:
We watched a movie called "The Wave" and it was about this class who were studying WW11 and Hitler.   Then, one day in class, this girl asked a question that the teacher didn't know how to answer it was, "How would the people during that time not know what was happening and not stop it!" or something like that. So the teacher started acting almost like Hitler by commanding them to do different things without telling them and they got really into it. Too much into it. They didn't realize that he was basically brainwashing them. (which he really wasn't because he was just trying to see what would happen)

Second Period:
We watched a long video on sea creatures and it was pretty interesting.

Third Period:
We played many new theatre games and did some improve.

Fourth Period:
We finished watching "Old Dogs" and it was really funny. I suggest that if you lie cheesy and funny movies, you choose that one! ;)

Fifth Period:
Today at my school was St. Baldricks Day, which was where my school had people who volunteer to shave their head or for girls to donate 10 in. or more of hair to people with cancer. So they hosted a show by the people who normally do the morning show. So, we watched that video during sixth period. Also, we had our character directories checked and I got a 90% which was great because everyone else had worse grades! :)

Sixth Period:
We also watched the show for half that class and received some of our grade for tests which I had a 100% and 96%! After the show ended, we watched the movie "Home Alone"  and I LOVE that movie!  :)

Now I have SPRING BREAK! I'm so happy! See you when spring break is over!

Monday: March 22, 2010

How was everyone's Monday? Good I hope! Mine was! I woke up alive and excited,(except for that grumbling feeling of "Oh no, it's monday :'( ) because today was our first swim meet for my school swimming team and I was in the first relay! So I woke up and then made my lunch :( But not even that could ruin my morning :) Then we move on to getting to school......

Courtyard/Library:
This morning, it was raining so everyone in our grade had to go to the library to stay there so we wouldn't get wet. Also, I was dressed in dressy clothes for swimming! Of course my awesome  friends commented on how "pretty" I looked :) Then, we just talked and chilled till the bell rang.

First Period:
We had a substitute so all we did was complete three worksheets on WW2 and then we could read,draw,etc. It was alright because it took us most of the period to finish.

Second Period:
We just watched an interesting video the whole time from Planet Earth. It was a little interesting because it should how animals catch their prey and also how some animals grow. Then, we checked over our worksheets and I got a 100%! The bell rings for third period and excitement rushed throughout my body!

Third Period:
I meet one of my BFFLS (Best friends for life) in the hallway and we walk together to drama. Once we get there my friends and I talk about stuff and laugh like we always do. Then, we finish watching pantomime skits that we had thought of and put together. They were a little interesting and as soon as you saw the first skit. we were already heading for fourth period!

Fourth Period:
Today, I worked on photoshop (as usual) and tried using some new tools. To read more about this class, please check out my other post: "Fourth Period." We saw some clips of a video to help kids conquer cancer that will be played in our school later this week. We went to lunch, and I ate the best green grapes I ever had!

Fifth Period:
We finished reading our book, Johnny Tremain and started working on these character sheets that went with the story. This teacher that I have for language arts is also my coach for swimming! So while I was there I also received the team bathing suit! It is like a red tie-dye design!

Sixth Period:
We had the same substitute again from Friday and were able to finish our test. Of course my friends and me didn't have to. ;) We did a worksheet after that and my friend and me left the class early for the meet!

Swim Meet:
Immediately we changed into our swimsuits and got into cars and drove, drove, drove! Once we there we took a team picture and then started practicing! Then, since I was in the first group, I waited till the person before me came and I quickly jumped into the warm water! Excitement was pouring everywhere and I was drilling through the water! It felt like I was gliding over it! Before I knew it I was back and I wasn't even tired! I felt so happy and thrilled!

That's what happened today at school! See you tomorrow for another "Real Deal".

Back to School!

I'm going back to school tomorrow! Check my blog to see what happens!

Saturday, March 20, 2010

I have a World Cutures test on Wednesday! I'm going to be studying this week. :( Hope I get an A!

Friday: March 19, 2010

THE BEGINNING:
Woke up like I always do: groaning out of bed, putting on clothes, walking to the kitchen sluggishly, making my lunch, (which takes a lot of my energy away when I have none to start with!) and getting in my car to drive to my school. 

COURTYARD:
Everyday before school, everyone waits in the courtyard before we enter "the school". Last night I had to study for a quiz in science, but one problem. We didn't have the sheet to study it on! I walk in the courtyard and say to my friends,
"I can't believe our science teacher didn't give the sheet back to us! I mean, how are we suppose to study it!"

Friends: "I know right!"

  :) I am right.

FIRST PERIOD:
 So, we walk into first period once the bell rings. Bob Marley singing happy birthday was the bell, because it was our principle's birthday. So there is this guy just rocking out to the music as we are walking......."oh yeaaaaaa, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" Anyway, so we walk into first period, World Cultures, and we have to do this reading sheet. I finish it and we take notes and all that other stuff you learn. (FYI: WW1, WW2, Geography, Ancient Greece and Rome, Etc.) We also get our grades from a quiz a few days ago....

Teacher: " Now class, make sure you don't worry about anybody else's grade. I want you ONLY to be concerned with YOUR grade."

After she passed them all out all you can hear is:

"What did you get?  I got this. YES!!"

They sure are good listeners ;)

SECOND PERIOD:
Science. Quiz. Study :/. 
Me: "Um we didn't have the sheet to study because you collected it from us...?!"

Teacher: "Well I'm going to give it to you now.'

So I study like it's for my life and what do I get? 30? 60? 48? 79?...................... 100%!!!!!!!!! It's because I'm just A-MA-ZING! :)

THIRD PERIOD:
Oh yea. This class is good. We do all sorts of acting games ranging from doing pantomime skits with groups or partners, to facial expression practice. Plus, that is the class where I have ALL of my friends! I love it! So much fun! Everyday. :)):   ......get it.....the drama sign........nevermind.

FOURTH PERIOD:
This class is the technology, make-videos-for-the-morning show kinda class. It's fun too! We also learn how to use Photoshop and Final Cut Pro. So today I'm working on a guy I got from google images and his name is Larry! I don't actually know him, but I try to "fix" his face on photoshop. Then we go to lunch and I eat that 'half-tired sandwhich' I made in the morning.

FIFTH PERIOD:
This is Language Arts. I LOVE this teacher. She is my favorite, because she so ALIVE and nice. :) We read our book "Johnny Tremain" and hand in these stories we wrote. Also, I sit next to my friend so it's all good. :)

SIXTH PERIOD:
This is Math. Now, I know that at the end of the day the last thing you want to do is solve equations and what-not but unfortunately, I don't set up my schedule! Anyway, we have a test and a substitute and he gives this long lecture about tree diagrams (EASY!) and then passes out the test. He says that we will probably have to complete the rest of the test on Monday but since my friends and me are smart and can do math smartly, easily, and accurately. We all go up to hand in our tests at the same time! It was pretty awesome because we didn't know we all had finished! 

A Walk To The Library:
There is this library close to our school, so they made a tunnel for students to walk to the library afterschool! So I walk there afterschool everyday (besides Tuesdays and Thursdays because I'm on my school's swim team and I practice those days.) with my friends! So I walk there and my mom later picks me up from there. Then, I try and do as much as I can  (such as going to the mall like I did today) throughout the rest of my small day!

That's what happened today at school! See you soon for another "Real Deal".
