Woke up tired again so I slept in for five minutes! Luckily, since I was so tired, my mom made my lunch! :)

First Period:
We had a substitute but it was still a normal day. We recieved the sixth and last mini project! :) We completed the worksheet and then decided we would make a model for the project part so I am suppose to bring in some cardboard and my partner will bring in some clay to work on it tomorrow!

Second Period:
My teacher graded our homework and I got a 100%! Then, we watched a video and she talked to us about this place in the Keys in Florida called Atosha! It's this very cool place where you can go diving and you can find treasure because it is the place where a pirate ship loaded with treasure was sunk! Also, there is still 90% of the treasure left and many people have become very rich from diving there! My mission now is to go there. :)

Third Period:
Today we all painted the set for the play! :)

Fourth Period:
We worked on our video. We are trying to add music to it but it is so difficult so we decided to make our music on garage band.

Fifth Period:
We worked on our outline for our newspaper article and researched.

Sixth Period:
We went over our homework and did a worksheet.

That was our real deal, see you next time!

Woke up very tired but got ready for my swim meet, which is after school, and school.

First Period:
We took a break from our projects and watched a holocaust speaker talk about what it was like in the holocaust. During the whole day at my school, that had six holocaust speakers come in (one in each period.) and talk about what it was like for them in the holocaust.

We went to our school book fair and I bought the book "Flush" to read over the summer. Then, we walked back to the classroom and watched the remaining parts of the holocaust speakers on our school TV.

Third Period:
We recieved our course cards which were these papers that you filled out so you could get an elective you wanted. My drama teacher explained more about them and then we played improve games and practiced for the play.

Fourth Period:
We worked on our video and took some videos to use in our video.

Fifth Period:
My class sat in a room to listen to a holocaust speaker while the rest of the school watched it on the TV's. :) But only some classes watched it, for instance I saw four speakers. Not six.

Sixth Period:
We took a tally for circle graphs and then made the circle graphs. It was fun and easy. :) While we worked on that we watched the holocaust speaker.

Then I went to my swim meet and in my relay we came in third! :)

April 23, 2010

I woke up tired but got up anyway. Had a good breakfast! :)

First Period:
We worked on the project part of our fourth mini project. My partner and I made a pyramid with information on it. Also, we wrapped up her little brothers action figures with toilet paper which was fun. :)

Second Period:
We went to another class to see these people from PBCC. They had a presentation on tobacco, smoking, and advertisements with drugs.

Third Period:
We did improve the whole time.

Fourth Period:
We had a person come in and talk to us about art. This lady was going to graduate from our local college and she was an art major studying art history. She talked about many of the exhibits they're school had and showed us a few in a slideshow. Also, she told us some information on the things she works with.

Fifth Period:
We researched on our topic for our project and tried to find four or more good sites on information on our topic. (That was our homework too). Then, we had to put information on each of those sights on a website so we could make a biblyaugraphy in MLA format. But this is what we have to do for our homework.

Sixth Period:
We had a substitute so we first went over our study guide and then took our test. I thinkI did well! :)

That was our real deal, see you next time!

April 22, 2010

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.

Since today was a half day, our schedule was different. We had to go to third, second, and then first period.

Third Period:
There were only about eleven of us! This was my largest class! We played many improve games. It was very fun.

Second Period:
We worked on our homework for tomorrow. Then, at the end of class, went to lunch and we were able to sit where ever we wanted to!

Third Period:
We did a poster on recycling since it's Earth Day! It was all about saving the environment and you worked on it with a partner.

April 21, 2010

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!

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.
