Weekly Blog #34: Short and Sweet



 Hello 'Ilima  

This week of school was 4 days, yet it was still pretty fun. This week was the start of the I-Ready Diagnostics and I am a kind of confident. I finished my ELA Diagnostic and got a 706, which was the highest score I know of. The ELA Diagnostic was pretty simple as I had did some studying of vocab and the questions were pretty easy to find. The Math Diagnostic is hard as always, but I've actually been going by it quicker. Usually I would be at around 30%-45% at this point, but I'm actually at 70% which is impressive for me. I don't know if I am doing good, but I'm going to be an optimist and say that I did really good. This week also had a lot of poor weather. On Monday, the power was shut off for the whole first period. The substitute allowed us to go on all phones all period which was pretty cool. There was also a bunch of rainfalls throughout the week which was nice to see. My friends and I have been going to different places on campus which has generated funny moments. There's a tree in the front of the school that works as a cozy chill out spot. We can climb around and throw leaves at each other which is enough entertainment for us. There's a really funny story I have, but I'm going to save it for later. On Friday, the Band class had their final concert so my friends decided to support my other friend at their performance. I enjoyed the show very much and my favorite song they did was "The Great Locomotive Chase". The song was like the music they would play during the climax of an action movie, and the different instruments they used in order to give that train feeling really made me immersed into the performance. In Social Studies, we started working on our children's book and it has so far been going well. My group is Torin and Julius and we are covering the problem of overpopulation. I was tasked with the writing of the story and I’ve so far done pretty good. I’m at around 760 words and I just need to finish the ending. Overall, these week was pretty good.

A highlight from this week would be going to the Band Concert. It was exciting to see my friends perform different musical pieces. One of my friends was really grateful that we came to see their performance which was super nice of them to stay. Another highlight from this week was the power shutting off during Monday. Going on your phone and relaxing is way better than doing work, so I’m glad that the power got turned off for that period. The first lowlight was the I-Ready Diagnostics as they just drain my energy so much. Now the last lowlight is in the story I brought up earlier. So my friends and I were at the big tree in the front. When I was hanging around, I got the idea that I wanted to try hang on after having a running start. So I got down from the tree and walked a couple yards away. I then started running and I jumped, grabbing onto the branch. But I didn’t have a strong enough grip and then, Splat! I was on the ground and my friends started laughing. They did ask if I was okay, so they weren’t totally mean about it. The impact was pretty painful, but I was able to get up with minimal injury. This is mainly a lowlight because I got hurt and I had 3 people laugh at me. 
The lesson I learned from this week is to enjoy the moment. As my 7th grade year is closing out, I’m thinking about how fast time is going. So in all situations, I should enjoy the moment. Live my life with zero regrets and I’ll live a happy life. I’ve really gotten to know this with all of the fun times I’m having with my friends. I don’t want them to end, but eventually the bus will come or something else goes on which causes us to stop. So I need to enjoy life at every step because of how fast it really goes. With that being said, this concludes my blog. I hope you have a great week. 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...
