3 more days!

wow!! this week went by reaaaalllyyyy fast! I still can't believe how fast this year is going and how there's only 3 days left of my 8th grade year, actually last year here at ilima. anyways, this week was pretty good. I am still on probation but I still manage to come in for tutoring. and I'm starting to bring SOME of my grades. and this first 3 days, was all basically about testing and finals. I'm confident that I did good, but now we're all done with what we're doing in my classes. I also went to Campbell's grad for my brother, his friends &&' cousins. it was PAAACKED! &&' CRAZY LOUD HAHA

My highlight of the week is being able to bring up some of my grades. I was able to go on my free time to talk to my teachers and to redo work and get the low grade up, usually I wouldn't be able to because their either not there or I'm lazy but I finally did, and it makes me feel better. But my lowlight of the week, was not bringing up my D for English-.- I sill ask to bring it up and all, but mrs. Malachi doesn't bring grades up until last minute and she says that all late work were already due. But I still see people turn in work. But I will still try to find a way to ring these up, but overall it has been a great week. 

My lesson learned is to do things ahead of time, why? Because doing things ahead of time makes you feel good, getting things already done and you wouldn't have to stress and worry out at the end. If I was to do things late again, I'm sure I would get stressed because it would be like I didn't learn my lesson at all through these weeks and maybe my grade would've went up, and I should've talked to my teacher more about it and probation. of why it's so important, maybe they'd change it. And of course put all effort into my work, so I get a good grade on it, cause if not then my grade will probably remain the same. but I know what to do next time, I think this is my last weekly blog, but it's been a great week and year! Thanks 

7 days left...

this week was a great week. I never realized how fast this week went by though. this week, I still had to come in for tutoring, to bring up my grades. There was also, stem and awards night which was held on Thursday night, it went by pretty smoothly as well. Also, in all my classes we had projects and sbac tests which happened spot throughout the week, but I'm glad to say that we're almost finished.

My highlight of the week was being able to come in on time because I usually come late and also for being rewarded for leadership, dance, &&' bowling, I'm actually proud to be apart of those activities and programs because it kept me active and motivated me a lot throughout the years rather than not doing anything. but my lowlight of the week, was still having a hard time brining up my grades because I wouldn't have enough time to make up work and to turn it in on time. Also, my teachers would update my grades kinda late but not when I need them to. 

My lesson learned is to always make time to do things like RIGHT after school, before school, or maybe sometimes lunch or RIGHT when I get home, because things would have to get done right on time and not way after. and maybe when I turn in my wo k that has to now be regraded, ask and talk to my teachers about probation and leadership and ask nicely if they're Able to change my grades now. If I'm not able to redo work, maybe I should do extra credit and out more effort in my work with a lot more focus (not saying I don't already) but I actually thought my grades were gonna go down, but it's actually going to a higher C, which is like3, but overall it was a good week. 

Continuing grad forms,

This week was alright. I never really got to work or had to because Lori, jayde, and I, are still giving out graduation forms and whatever had to be done In our home room class. Also, there was pbs opt out on Friday,  but it was period threes job. And finally banquet pictures came in fridayyyy! Chee

My highlight of the week, is being able to come early enough each day, this week, because I've gotten to school at exactly 7:15 or before that. I was able to help others out like those who are in my period, but my lowlight of this week, is not being able to have my grades updated. I did bring my grades up and do talk to my teachers, but they didn't change my grades because of whatever reason, so I would have to stay on probation and wait for it to raise, but give out Graduation forms as well. 

My lesson learned is to never wait last minute and try talking to my teachers about my grades, and explain to them why it has to be changed right away. So I'm able to work with my group more because sometimes they don't know what to do or sometimes are not able to come early enough to set up or work for things and so I wouldn't have to worry after a while. Plus, I wouldn't want to stay on probation for anything but to show effort and improving before the end.

this was a great week. it was all about passing out graduation packets, still will be going on up til may 19 and we also had an assembly on Friday, for all students ( entire school ) to go to James Campbell high school, to talk all about bullying. Also, for the 8th graders orientation, welcoming us to the teachers, counsellors, the schhoool, etc. This week was an improving, great week. 

The highlight of the week was being able to bring MOST of my grades up and knowing what to do as my station for friday. this week, I was on probation for my classes because I had a "D" or "C" in that class. so I'd stay in, for tutoring and would take my time to talk to my teachers about my grade. So I was able to redo things, to help my grade go up to a higher grade. which it did! Also, there was no mistakes for Friday and had no trouble at all, being able to follow the correct directions we were told. But my lowlight of the week was not being able to bring ALL of my low grades by the end of the week, either because I never had time to do it or they were always busy. I always did, try to figure out what I could do to bring up my grade and I offer to do so, but I've been busy and when I do go to that class, the teacher is busy as well or is never around. 

My lesson learned is to always check up more than twice. Usually, I'd only check during my lunch to bring up my grades because that's when they usually tell me they're available but next time, I should jus check more often throughout the day and ask because we may never know and it's better than keying my grade stay the same, not knowing what to do. So next time, I'll check up more and I'll do my hardest to bring up the rest of my grades by the end of this week. overall, it was a good week. 

Blog is late because of internet problems and i had a very busy weekend, sorry

Grad, banquet &&' class day forms

This whole week was basically about giving out forms to everyone and collecting money for me, it was kind of a struggle because of how much people that started to come in, last minute though hahaha. And we also had to start working on so much things for graduation and banquet, awards night etc.. Like medals, ribbons, etc.. Also, each period had to work together with the coins and packing them together. Overall, it's been a very busy week for all of us but it has been a good week.

My highlight of the week, is that I was able to get things done to bring up my grades like redoing some work for that specific class and talking to my teachers. Also, being there to pass out graduation forms for those who needed one. But my lowlight of the week, was not being able to be down to a101 to give out forms, on time during wiki because either my teacher wouldn't let me out or I forget. So my classmates would be by themselves, but no matter what I still do it too but just not early enough SOMETIMES. 

My lesson learned for the week is to always have a reminder or tell my teachers 5-6 minutes earlier, so that we have time to ask if we're able to go, why we have to go down, and to walk down to the class and to get ready, like setup on what forms were giving out and get the money collections. Then maybe I'll be down there right on time, but overall it has been a good and busy week. iknow further more weeks will be turning out to be like this, but we should be prepared and it is what it is. 

Orientation week

This week, we had a total of two orientations. First one was on Tuesday and the next was on Thursday, to finish off the rest and parent orientation. I have to say, that this was a good week. &&' yes. I've noticed some differences between these two orientations. The first time, I messed up on one of the parts of my speech, which was the school but the 2nd time I didn't mess up at all, and the 2nd time.. Orientation also went by faster because knew better on what to do. And we learned from our mistakes from our first orientation, so overall.. It was very busy but went by well! Thanks to mr.ing

Throughout this whole orientation thing I think that it was very very busy, but worth our time and it was fun experiencing something new, especially because it went by so smoothly,. Better than I expected, but what we can do to improve for the next time or if we had a chance to restart, is plan and do things ahead of time and help one another out and giving each hither reminders. And practicing everything more than a lot so we got it down, but overall. I think everyone did a great job. At first, I was very nervous but after my first sentence, I realized that there was nothing to worry about and I already got so used to it,

What I really liked about this orientation was meeting new people, and being able to share some things from our school. for an example, I went around the shook touring other schools about what and where everything is and as we were walking, some people asked me questions and not only about the school but also asking for my name and grade haha. But what I didn't like, was how quick we all had to do things like changing was a huge struggle, but we did it and pulled through. Also, messing up on my speech the first time, because honestly that was so embarrassing. But I honestly things that this whole orientation thing might've been hard and all, but it was very fun and enjoyable for me. I hope to do more things like this later. 

Assignment blog for first orientation

This week, last week, and many weeks before was mainly all about orientation, we was at first, slacking. but as soon as the day has gotten closer, we've gotten better and improved, because we all knew that this was something important and something that had to be done well enough for everyone, Although, we had some mini mistakes today during our first orientation, out of the 3.. which I'll talk about later, but overall it was pretty great and wasn't as scary as i expected, because we were prepared and fashion show and doing this orientation with everyone else, was honestly very fun. 

My highlight of this was being able to memorize my speech and being able to remmeber how things go. Today, I did my best to do this orientation exactly how it's supposed to be done, and as I went on stage to speech.. I was a little nervous but I was able to get it down and finish because halfway through, I wasn't nervous because I jus pretended like there was not a lot of people around watching me speak. But there was some mini mistakes, which lead to my lowlight. My lowlight of this wAs having several mistakes during this orientation, that shouldn't have happened because we've practiced many times, and thought that we were okay and weren't gonna have any mistakes, but ended having some mini ones. But overall, iknow that next time we will improve and it was actually pretty good. 

Have I met the GLOS? Yes. I did and let me tell you how...

Glo #1 : self directed learner - we each had to do things without being told and made sure that we checked up on eachother, knowing what we had to do.

Glo #2 : community contributor - when we heard or seen someone get up to dance or speak for orientation, we weren't allowed to say bad comments or anything bad. 

Glo #3 : complex thinker - meaning we had to try things on our own, and combine ideas with eachother. 

Glo #4 : Quality producer - meaning we had to do a really good job and made sure our work has been reliable and understandable for others to get attention and knowledge of. 

Glo #5 : effective communicator - meaning we would have to talk with others, like our group and help one another out. Even speaking towards the audience. 

Glo #6 : effective and Ethnical use of technology - meaning we were able to use technology safe and easy, like the projector to help trace for banners because free hand wasn't allowed and research for other things and I think I've met these GLOS, along with my classmates.
