Advise for the Class of 2016

7th Grade:

When you go to 8th grade it is not much different socially but academically it's harder. The teachers grade harder, for example the Language Arts teachers grade your essays harder. The science lessons are boring and the test are hard, but the teachers are funny and they will make your day better. Math is easy if you pay attention if you do not you will get an F, not to scare you, but you grade will reflect if you know it or not.

Some of my favorite teachers:

Mrs. Whelan, she listens and understand what you say. She is funny and has good project ideas that are not boring. You will present in front of the class a couple of times, but she understands that we do not want to go in front of the class.

Mrs. Silady, she is laid back. She draws on a white board, and marks your paper in red ink. Her love for Santa can seem creepy but she does not talk that much about it. You need to get on her good side and she will be your best friend. She loves kittens and glee. And, no matter what you do or say she still will not say orange or ice cream, her accent makes it sound weird.

Do not worry about 8th grade it is not that bad, if you make it that way.

8th Grade Refliction

Good writers get A's on every paper, ok writers get B's and C's, then there are the bad writers who get the blame for the F's in the class. I would place myself as an ok writer, not Failing but still not perfect papers. My scores were very high at the beginning of the year because of an easy grader and then the new teacher swooped in and now I do not have my A anymore. In 7th grade there was always a teacher to help me were as in 8th grade you have to be independent. I need to improve on my intro and endings, also need to not summarize. My strengths that I am good on are the making my points, and adding a visual aid to the piece. High School LA is going to be harder I am nervous to see what I will get, my writing need to get better, because the teachers will grade harder.

John Smith

The theme of the movie John Smith is the name. We watched this movie because it shows us what a live looks like and how you may feel at different ages. All of the different John Smiths all had difficulties in their life's, whether it is death's, people going away, drugs, no jobs, or they just have troubles in their lives. We all go through these things in our life's sometime, it is nice to know that there are other people with the same feelings.

Jounal 6/1

Last Thursday I went to a ice cream social to have the "What is High School Like" talk. We had many different tables, your last name was how they determined what table you are in. The many topics of the table were sports, exams, homework, studying, social life. I learned that during exams we can leave to go to lunch out side of school.Also, he said our friends will be less dramatic and the friends you have now will most of them will be your friends. High School is going to be more challenging academically than Middle School, but I it will be more fun as in football games and dances.

Journal 4/25

Over spring break I went to Colorado. My sister went to Boulder University, there for my family went to see the campus. To start our adventure off we landed at the Denver airport and went to an ihop in Denver, because I was hungry. Then we went to Vail a City known for having the highest prices for clothing but some of the best skiing mountains. In Vail I saw a lot of people skiing down little parts of the Rocky Mountains. Skiing looked like fun, but I am not good at skiing so we did not ski well we where in Vail. Next we went to our main destination Boulder. There we checked in to our hotel, set our bags on the bed and when shopping at the 28th avenue mall. After shopping we went to eat at the Dark Horse Saloon, I had a ham and cheese sandwich. After that we went to Broomfield and went to the regional Mall. Later on in the break I went to some little town that had shops. We boarded the plane in Denver and then we went home.

This American Life Reflection

Do you ever wonder how people will remember you as in 10 years? How do you want them to remember you? These are all question that where asked to people in the video. Friends and family members will remember me, but will other people. If other people remember me I hope they remember me as a nice person and not as a profanity. What do you want people to remember you as?
