Weekly Blog #2

 Hello ‘Ilima!

    Another week has gone by and Friday was (luckily) a break. This week has been pretty fun with the week ending with the elections. But before that, there was an almost full week of work. In Math and Science, there were pre tests where I got no result for one and a 14/15 for other which I am proud of. My Period 3 got to work TV and I was able to learn how to set it up and also work a station. The lunches were still mediocre and I didn't have lunch on Thursday. I don't like that in Social Studies, we are going to have a substitute because Mr. Cole has to take his daughter to college. I don't like substitutes in general because they know us as well as our main teacher and they usually do things differently then the main teacher which can be annoying. We also started after school sales and my friends and I are excited for when the kitchen gets installed and real food can start being served. But an update of last blog, I still think Science is my least favorite class even when we did a fun experiment because Dr. Heloca is to quiet but it doesn't mean I don't like the class. Then I would say Ms. Chen because she gave us a math test :( I still enjoy Mr. Cole and the art project was something that I am really proud of because I think I did a good job. Mrs. Miya is nice and she plays 80s music which is fun. Lastly, Ms. Scarborough had us share our slides which weren't bad and people commented on my dog saying that she looked like a racoon.

    A highlight of this week has to be the making of my Social Studies art project as I had lot's of fun and I put so much work into it. My mom helped me make ideas for the drawing and I love the final product. Another highlight would be the science experiment we did where we attempted to make slime, but we all failed and it was very funny. A lowlight would definitely be the math test as I hate doing math, even though I think I did pretty good besides the last 3 questions. I haven't finished my I-Ready Math diagnostic so I guess that would be another lowlight but I feel like it is unfair because it always give me questions I don't understand. All around, this week has been fine and I wouldn't say it was overly positive or negative.


    Finally, a lesson I learned this week was public speaking. I've never liked public speaking but I was able to present my bio cube confidently and loudly. We were taught a 5 step process on how to speak in front of an audience. To be unique, I would say a different greeting every time that would usually be in a different language. I had used Konnichiwa, Shalom, and Guten Tag. I'm thinking for my TV to use "Wonderhoy!" which is a greeting from a game that my friends like to play a lot called Hatsune Miku Colorful Stage. To get back on topic, the lesson has helped me be more comfortable while speaking in audiences and it will help in the future when I will have to do that even more. 


    This concludes my weekly blog and I hope that everyone has had a great week. I wish the best of luck for the candidates in the election and I wish you all a great rest of the week. Goodbye and goodnight. Cheers to another day!

Hello 'Ilima As I lay down on my bed, my phone starts ringing.  "Hey, it's John from the Book Club! Are you ready for the first meeting?" Oh no! I panic. When I first moved in, there was an advertisement for a book club and I decided to join it. The first meeting would be today and I would need to talk about a book I recently read. I looked around my house, trying to find the right book to talk about, but none of them stood out. None except "2425", I grabbed the book, got dressed, and dashed towards where the book club was being held.  "Hello everyone! Welcome to the first meeting of our book club. I hope you are all ready to share your books" John said, sitting from his spot in the group circle. After the first couple of people shared their books, it was then my turn to share. I took a deep breathe and then began talking. Summer: After 7th grade ended, there was a short break where we could relax before it was time for Bridge to start up again. Un...

Weekly Blog 3-7 (60): Meeting of the Victors

Hello 'Ilima What is up ‘Ilima! This week of school was much more of a ramp up week as next week is the big one. But that doesn’t mean this week wasn’t full of stuff to do. The biggest school event would be the Graduation Meeting. During this meeting, parents would learn about the 8th grade graduation and learn about the different parts of the graduation. There wasn’t very much to do as a leadership member, but it was still good to hear about the information for my graduation. That was the only school event, but I still had a bunch of class work. First, we have had this project in Computer Science where we need to guide a robot from one point to another. This project has been pretty frustrating at times because the robot sometimes just doesn’t do what you want it to do. And it’s hard to make changes to your programming because we are sharing the robot amongst the whole class, making it difficult to see the changes you make. I wish we had multiple robots in order for us to be able t...

Weekly Blog 3-6 (59): Shopping for Tests

 Hello ‘Ilima What’s is up! This week was only 4 days long, but was still full of many things. Starting with Leadership related things, we had the second Recognition Night of the year on Thursday. There was a lot less people this time, but it was still fun to cheer on the people who got good grades. I had gotten a 4.0 and walking up on stage was cool. The most interesting part of Recognition Night was what happened before it as me and some people from Leadership had fun doing random things outside. We had a race, listened to music, and more. Moving onto school stuff, we had the Science SBA this week. I was pretty anxious because I had no idea what to expect for the test. So when I first opened the test, I was met with a lot of things that I had not learned before. But I endured the pain and after two classes, I finished my SBA with Level 4. It was a terrible experience, but at least I got a good score. Final thing I will mention is that there was an ELA poster that we had to create...
