End of the year Feelings

Am  actually really happy that it’s close to the end of the year because am going going on vacation to Las Vegas and California and Wisconsin am flying to Vargas it my first time that’s a reason why am ready to go on summer vacation. And another thing is that I don’t have to wake up so early. Am going to miss the teachers though like Ms.Haury ELA is my favorite class. Am not going to miss math am going to miss the math teachers though but not math. My goals for 7th grade is not to get any detention(s)I have not got any  detention(s) in 6th grade yet. Another goal is to do all my work is 7th grade like homework.

Favorite song

I really don’t have a favorite song but if I had to pick a song it would be Pompeii because I like the lyrics it reminds me of the city Pompeii it’s about that city too. I learned about the city in socail studies I learned that the city was destroyed by a volcano the people that lived there did not survive they did not know what was going on. In a lyric is shows the words that the building are falling down. I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? Nothing changed at all Nothing changed at all We were caught up and lost

Positives of the week

my positives for the week is to do good on the MAP test we have to do tomorrow. I want to do good on the test. Another positive for the week is to finish at least one lesson of Noredink so I won’t be that far behind. One last positive for the week is finish all homework for all classes.

MAP testing

MAP testing is boring the only thing I like about it is the class periods a shorter. The only class I like that is long is ELA because the teacher is fun and also funny. MAP testing Takes forever and does not tell us how many questions there is going to be on the test. We have MAP testing for I think 1 or 2 weeks. Then there is only 3 more weeks of school so that is also a reason I know when school is out because of MAP testing.

How does it feel?

I really did not think about writing 50 blog post in the beginning of the school year now that I think about it it feels good completeing 50 blog post. I completed more than 50 blog post already because I was doing writing a blog every single day in March I missed either  8 or 10 days. I noticed that when I seen how many blog post I did. So far I completed 71 post so that feels good writing 71 post out of the whole school year well we are not done with the school year so almost maybe by the end of school I will finish 75 blog post.

Greek Day

In social studies we had Greek Day it was fun in the beginning we sat down in teams that we were put in and sold stuff that we made, so we did that for a couple of mins then we went to the olmpics be has racing chariot race etc I did the chariot race that was fun. After we cleaned up and went to go back to class and ate Greek food I ate bread chips the other foods I did not like when we were eating. Are teacher put on a movie we only had about 25 mins to watch the movie so we watched that movie  for the rest of class and then we went to go eat lunch.

Poetry-find a poem Analyze it

The poem that I picked was from a book that is called loose Threads. The poem is called MASH there are lots of them that fit in one whole book so it’s like a whole much of poems in one. It is about how a family is watching the tv show called MASH and then all of a sudden the grandma calls out “I have a lump in breast”.

Favorite Poem

My favorite poem is “you can’t just beat a team you have to leave a lasting impression on their minds so they never want to see you again” I like this poem because I like I like sports and that why I like the poem.

Chicago history project

For my Chicago history project am researching about H.H. Holmes. H.H. Holmes was Americans first serial killer. He was married 3 times and had 2 kids he killed his first wife and his daughter. When H.H Homes killed woman he would sell their skeleton weeks later. It’s weird how he sold their skeletons but when he was a kid he was afraid of the doctors and they made him face the skeleton. Later on when he was older he went to a university for being a doctor. H.H Holmes killed 20-200 people in his “Murder Castle”. The reason why I picked H.H. holmes was because he sounded interesting to research nad also because I never heard of H.H. Holmes I never really though t about any serial killers untill now I think this is a very cool project to do.

4th quarter goals

My 4th quarter goals are to get good grades not to get detention. One goal I have in ELA  is to Don’t get behind on Noredink. One goal I have in Math is   don’t forget to do math homework and do it during excel. Another  goal for my 4th quarter goal is to do good in math and do very well in my unit test and quizzes and regular test too. Another goal I have in socail studies is to also Get good grades even though I think my grades are already good in socail studies. My goal in science is to answer questions more. For block 4 on A Days and B Days is to do good and get good grades in both classes. For another I have for myself is not to get 4 falcon fouls I think at least 2  fouls will be that bad.

Spring break

During spring break I got a new phone I also went to my grandpas for Easter and spent the night till Tuesday then on the day of Tuesday my moms boyfriend took us to A  restaurant we ate. Wednesday-Friday we stayed home. On the week end we went to Urban air and we also went to Dave and Busters  on the same day that is what we did on Saturday. On Sunday we went out to eat ones again that is what I did over spring break.

Slice of life #31

On Wednesday we watched a movie a movie in science we watched The Secret Life Of Pets. That movie is old it was made in 2016 but I think it’s a good movie I guess. We were watching it and I started to get hungry so I packed a fruit snack in my binder I took it out and tried to open it. I opened it ad it was so loud when I was done I ask to get a drink of water so that I could throw it away. After the movie we left and went to lunch.

Slice of life #30

On Tuesday we had to present are project about no smoking and I did not want to do it because I just not want to present infront of the whole class.

In social justice we had a project to do when we were doing it we were having fun. Savion a boy I was working with we kept fighting over who was going to write the word on the poster board And then Valerie another person am wo king with said we could both write the words down. I would have won but he had the marker that we were suppose to write with first so that it goes along with the art work that he did. After we were done writing down the letters I sat down ad started working on the google slide. Theta is what happen in socail justice.

Slice of life #28

Yesterday we had a sub in socail studies class so she said when we finish are work sheet we could have free time. I thought that was cool because we hardly ever have free time in social studies. When I was done with the work sheet I listened to music and did my homework because I did not want to do it at home. When I got tired of doing of homework I put it away I only had 10 questions left so that was going to be easy. Then I just played games on my iPad untill block two was over.

Slice of life #27

Yesterday I was working on my poster for Health class the poster was about how to stop smoking and why it’s dangerous. When I was working on it I was Looking at it and I noticed that a word was a little slated and I did it with marker so it sucked. I was trying to fix it with white out. And I made it look better.

On the weekend I went to my grandpa and stayed till Sunday are uncle was dropping us off at our house. All of a sudden we were going to the movies but before that we went to go pick up his daughter so it took him about a hour to go to the movies.

Slice of life #23

Yesterday we all got new iPad bags they are small they could only hold the iPad and the iPad charger and maybe a paper or two. The only thing I don’t like about it is that the iPad case is big so when you put you iPad inside the bag it’s hard. And when you also  take  the iPad out of the bag it’s hard. Other then the case I like the iPad bag it’s cool.

Slice of life #22

Yesterday in ELA we watched a movie it was called  Free Willy I liked the movie we did not watch the whole thing though because we had shorten classes because of PARCC. We were watching it and it was a good movie when I was time to leave I had Social Studies we got to watch are trailers. When he came in the classroom he said “I have some good news and the bad news the bad news is there is no more popcorn the other classes are to much popcorn the good news is that this week or next week of class I will bring popcorn and you guys will have it all to your selfs. We watch the trailers then we were done with Socail Studies so now I was in Health.

Slice of life #20

Today we had no school because of Election Day. Yesterday (Monday) we had school which was weird because usually when we don’t have school Monday or Tuesday we don’t have school the the day before or the day after so that was weird.

On March 14,2018 there was a assembly and you could have chosen to go to study hall or the assembly. I went to study hall it was in the lunch room when I went there it was very quiet I took a seat next to Miranda and Emily. We sat and did homework and talk then about 10 mins later it got loud. We stayed there for about an hour it was boring. When there was 30 mins left I seen Sarah she wanted me to sit next to her but I couldn’t. When it was time to leave we went to are locker and went to excel and stayed there for 7 mins.

Slice of life #15

When I was asking if she was crying and she was crying.

I am still wondering what happen to her.

Favorite Quote

One of  My favorite quote is “ Do not judge my story by the chapter you walked in on”. I like this quote because I think it is kinda saying don’t just look at a person and judge them. Get to the the person.

Chicago History

The Great Chicago fire happen on October 8, 1871 and lasted till October 10, 1871. On the day the fire started it was windy and since the whole city was made out of wood that made the fire go wild even more.  There were so many building that burned there was about 17,500 building that burned down. The building that did survive the Great Chicago fire was st.  Michael's Church, Chicago Water Tower,  St. Ignatius College, and the Holly Family Church. As many as 300 people died from  the Great Chicago fire and left over 100,000 people homeless. People that survived the fire had to jump into Lake Michigan.

Slice of life the missing dollar #1

When i was waking up this morning i did not want to wake up so when i was getting up i got dressed i was looking for a $1 because I could dress down only if I bring a $1 so when i was done doing i put it on the table. After that i went looking for my clothes it took me forever. So when i was about to leave i went to go to the table were i left the $1  and it was not there so it asked my brother and sister were the dollar was and they said i don’t know. So i was looking so i looked at the floor and there it was. So i think the wind from the fan blew it.

Slice of life practice

On June 30, 2017 me my mom, brother,sister,step sister,my step dad drove to Las Veagas and also California it was a very fun but there was lots of stuff in the car so it was smushing in side the truck when we were driving the first thing we had to do was go to the store to get some food we got som sandwiches and some chips pretty much whatever we wanted. When we were done we started to drive to Las Vegas for dinner we had Wendy’s. After we were driving and we went to Utah we went later tagging and we also went boiling that was very fun. When we got to Las Vegas it was fun we went walking to go to M&M world there was a fight and it was weird because the cops were right there on the street but there was a wall blocking were we were walking. So the cops could not see them fighting. After that was over we kept walking to M&M world.

Essay claim

My claim is that teachers get under paid. Teachers work more than 6 hours a day and the teachers get paid about $75 a day witch is $525 a week is not as much. In a mouth teacher earn about $1,575-$2,100 witch it is a lot but That  much to pay bills and go grocery shopping. That is not so much money for teaching for more than 6 hours.

Should we wear uniforms?

I say we should not wear uniforms because uniforms are very uncomfortable and it also ruins your sense of style. Another reason why we should not wear uniforms is because uniforms are also very ugly. Some good reasons why uniforms might be good is people might wear something not appropriate for school or when you are getting dressed you take forever to pick out a outfit.

Snow day

On  February Friday the 9th, 2018 it was snowing really bad it snowed 1 to 2 inches. It was cool put the only time I went outside was when I was at my grandpa house I had to. It was really fun the snow was so deep. Then on Saturday the 10th,2018 in the night  it snowed the same way so it was higher I went outside and it was not cold at all it was a little warm. So I thought was was okay Sunday it did not snow. That were not he now days. Today is February 14,2018 and the snow is still high!

Opposing view of captivity

My opposing view of captivity is animals should not be in captivity because they might die early then they suppose to die and the animals might want to go out and explore where they live. And the baby animals are getting token away from there mothers and family. Those are some reasons am against captivity.

Blackfish

The movie blackfish was about whales who killed trainers from seaworld. I liked the movie but the movie was sad at the same time because trains would get hurt or killed and the whales would get hurt but not from the trainers. And there were people who talked in the movie there was this one man who said he was crying  when he was getting the whales because they would take the baby’s from there mothers.

Fiction vs nonfiction

I like fiction more then nonfiction because fiction has a lot of adventures In nonfiction books there are real information and I don’t really like that kind of stuff. So my favorite is fiction I always read fiction

Winter break

Winter break was so fun on Friday the first day of winter break I went to my grandmas house to go get presents and I got a ton of stuff. Then on Saturday I when shoppping and I open my Christmas presents I got a ice cream maker then in Sunday I went to my grandpas and also got presents we stayed there till Thursday. On Sunday   I went to my step grandmas house I got presents I got some board games and other stuff to. I forgot what I did on the other day of winter break.

New year Resolution

My New Years resolution is to go to sleep early then I do because I go to sleep at like 2 and I have to wake up at 7 and I get really tired and I wake up late for school. Another new year resolution is to also study a lot for math.
