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.

Another busy week

This week was a good week. well, for me. I was one of those who had to go in class (a101) to set up and get ready to pass out banquet forms for the 8th graders and class day forms for the 7th graders. It was really busy, but it started to die down because then graduation forms started to get passed out from wenesday night at the meeting and today during morning recess for the 8th graders who haven't gotten a form. Also, throughout the day.. leadership and I had to practice and work a lot with orientation, so were ready and prepared for Mondays dress rehearsal and the actual orientation day. it was a good week overall though. 

My highlight of the week was being able to memorize my speech. FINALLY!!! and getting to come in early for the whole week, I sometimes come late because of whatever reason but not all the time, so this week it was able to come early enough to give out forms for everyone and i couldn't memorize my speech, until i kept reading it over and over and tried for once, and did it! Hahah. But my lowlight of the week, was not meeting my AR goal because it was a busy week for me, but I'm honestly almost done, jus 2.5 more points and I'm all cleared, I really hope for another good week. 

My lesson learned for the week is to never do things last minute, especially if it's important because it's always best to do things right on time, rather than late and all fustrated. Like for orientation, we first started off just sitting around, having to be told what to do when we all were supposed to know that orientation was coming up, so we'd have to focus more and get things done faster, before that day comes.so then we'd have to work extra harder, this is an important event as well so it was something real serious. But gladly, we finished right on time and was able to run through things and finish. Now we have to wing it.
