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!

Test Day!

Wednesdays are always either good or bad. Good if the week is going by fast and happy. :) But bad if the week is dragging on and it's sad. :'( If it is bad, I hope you are happy by the end of the week (; But my Wednesday is good! (:

First Period:
Took the test! I don't know how I did but I felt like I did well! :D
Also, for the first half of the class, we reviewed over our study guide for the test from yesterday.

Second Period:
I took the science test ! I got a 86%! After that we were allowed to play some games and read.

Third Period:
We played theatre games and did some short skits.

Fourth Period:
We watched the movie "Old Dogs" and it was pretty good!

Fifth Period:
We went over some books we can choose to read and I choose: "Summer of a German Soldier" and "The Book Thief." We also watched this movie from WW11.

Sixth Period:
We took the test and I got a 100%! I guess all of my studying paid off! (:

That was our real deal, see you tomorrow!

So I woke up, made lunch, went to the library early at my school with my friends and waited till the bell rang to go to first period.

First Period:
We did the study guide for the test tomorrow which I have been studying for all night! :'( I hope I get a good grade! A! Wish me luck!

Second Period:
We went on computers to finish some worksheets and also did a small worksheet, because guess what? We also have a test tomorrow that has me studying forever tonight! :'( I better do well!

Third Period:
My friends and I went up to this hearing and eyesight thing they are having at my school and I think/hope I did well :D It was fun while we were waiting in line though ;) Then we walked back to drama and watched people perform monolouges.

Fourth Period:
We had a substitute, so we watched a movie! It was about this girl who never could get her father's attention who was a person who fixed up people for funerals! :0 Then we had lunch and it was yummy!

Fifth Period:
We finished our character directories form yesterday and had to come up with a theme for the story!

Sixth Period:
We did a worksheet and learned stuff for tomorrow. What did we learn for tomorrow? How to find areas of different shapes for.... a test tomorrow!

Three tests, one mind, one night. To see how I do, check my blog to see what I get!

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".
