Weekly Blog #18: New Semester New Work

 Welcome Back 'Ilima

     It's good to be back here and what a way to start off the week. Before I can really talk about school, I have to mention the fact that I sprained my ankle. It happened on Friday and I was just running where I tripped on the stone thing that kept the tree dirt separated from the side walk. The pain was terrible and I would of went to the health room if it was open. What made it even worse is the amount of walking I had to do. My last period was social studies which is my farthest period. Then I had to walk home from where the bus dropped me off from which was super painful. But don't worry, my ankle doesn't hurt as much anymore and I can walk again. Now moving on, my period had TV this week and we got to work with two broadcasters. It was tough learning the new buttons but we got it working. I was also on TV where we got to see the return of Joseph. My classes this week were okay but I hate the I-Ready Diagnostics so much. They always cover things I don't understand or we haven't learned which makes it a guessing game on what is right. We also have a bunch of projects that we are starting which will be interesting. Overall, this week was pretty stressful but it is only just the beginning.

      A highlight from this week was seeing all of my friends in person again. During the break, the lack of the physical interaction with my friends was definitely boring so this was just fun. A lowlight from this week would be spraining my ankle because it hurt a lot. I still don't understand why the health room has to be closed on the one day I need it. Another lowlight has to be the I-Ready Diagnostics because they are just so annoying. It may seem like this week was negative but I had a lot of fun and good things did happen.

    A lesson I learned from this week was to not be reckless. This lesson comes from me spraining my ankle from running. I wasn't looking at where I was going and I have to learn to look at my surroundings. A small lesson I learned was say things in a nice way. I say this because on Wednesday, I was kicked off the bus because I showed an online pass and the driver said "We don't accept that, get off the bus." Like, you could say that in a way nicer way. You could say, "Oh sorry, we don't allow the use of online passes so you can't come on the bus." Just be respectful. This ends my blog and I wish you the best. 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...
