Nice day

Today was a really chill day since we took the ACT yesterday all of our teachers understood that we were still recovering. Because of this we were left with nothing to do so we watched a few short films.One of my favorites was Hair Love . It was about a young African american girl struggling with her natural hair ,she wanted a special style but had problems doing it alone . I really recommend it.

ACT (So Excited!!!)

 Ok I'm going to be honest ..... I Hated it. Goodnight.

ACT Tommorrow

 I can not believe that tommorrow is really the day for the ACT. Thats all I could think about in 4th block today. we have been preparing for months for this one test and I'm glad to say I feel ready.

I Love my Class

So today they were having a party in the gym and some students stayed behind including me. Before they left we played a few rounds of kahoot which I kind of enjoyed. They updated the game so some features were a little weird. After they left me as well as my other classmates that were left behind decided play the questions game. It was really interesting hearing everyone's reaction and responses to certain questions. Hopefully we get to do it again soon.

Into the Woods I Go

 I was not in class today due to a field trip. We went orienteering which is pretty much when you and your teammates are given a compass and a map and you have to find various points . My team started a little late but it was fine, when we first started I was so cold my teeth even started chattering.We were the last school to leave because one of our teams took too long to get back to the buses. Overall it was really fun and calming walking around and sometimes even running around the forest to find our points.

Annotative bibliography

 We walked into the class and I look to my right and see the rolling lab by the door and panicked immediately . Turns out there was nothing to worry about when we were given the laptops we went to AVL.com and found a article that could help with our prompt. We learned about annotative bibliography which is a summary of the article. or atleast thats as far as we got today with practicing them we are supposed to continue tommorrow.

First Day back from Mardi Gras

Ok I'm going to be completely honest , I almost fell asleep in class today and it wasn't because it was boring. It took everything out me but I stayed up during the lesson. We are pretty much preparing for the ACT which will be next week and I am really nervous.I've taken it before but not only does this score count against me but for the rest of the school so there is alot of pressure.

God is Good

Let me tell you guys how good God is. Today we had another test ,and I was stressing the entire time. I almost changed some of my answers out of fear but I decided to keep them .To me the test was kind of hard, the reading was easy but some of the questions were difficult to understand.Once I finished my test I took it up to Mr.Rease so that he could grade it.When I went back up there to check the grade he had wrote a 2 on the paper and my heart dropped,he then proceeded to write a 9 in front of the 2 giving me the grade of a 92.That was the highest I've scored on one of those kinds of tests and I was really excited.It was also the highest of the class.

The Quietest we've ever been

So after the last 3 people presented today Mr.Rease decided he was going to go over our essays with us 1 by 1.The only way he could do that though was if we were quiet enough.To ensure that our class stayed quiet he gave us a list of work that we would have to do and turn in tomorrow .Everyone worked in silence and thankfully we didn't get the homework.

All Around the World

We continued presentations today and let me tell u there were a bunch of countries from Africa today. I would have to say my favorite was Egypt. Egypt is a place that I've always been interested by as well as Greece and some Asian countries, mainly because of there folklore and myths. When I was younger I would often read books based on those places so I could learn more. Everyone did really well today during presentations.

This was not Part of the Plan

 I thought I was supposed to present tomorrow , but no Mr.Rease said, "SIKEE," and threw me in today. I was really nervous because he said we couldn't use note cards.Thankfully I remembered alot about Hong Kong. Somethings had me worried such as my pronunciation, some words I stumbled on, but to be fair I can barely pronounce some english words. Overall I think I did pretty decent and ended up getting a 94.

Act prep Day 2

Many of us were out of class today for ACT prep.The junior class will be taking the Act March 10.I am very nervous but excited .I've taken the test before and got a 22 the first time, hopefully I can get a higher score.

The beloved essay

We had 55 minutes write a 5 paragraph essay. I thought was going to be harder then what it actually was.I spent the first 10 mins prepping and the next 45 just continously writing. Once we finished we had the rest bbn of the block which was mainly us dancing and joking around.
