My schedule: Science, Math, Oral Expression (Day 1), Computers (Day 2), Honors Language Arts, Social Studies.

11/12/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sick

11/13/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

Catching up from a missing day isn't as hard as I thought it would be

It's cool that I keep getting to help the people in my row because I'm the only one familiar with the Microsoft Office tools

Math 

My teacher was impressed because I printed off my homework at home and did it

two kids are throwing pencil pieces and spitballs at each other, and I'm caught in the crossfire!

One of the kids tried to blame it on me, but my teacher doesn't believe them

Yay for trust!

Lunch

In the bathroom some kids started swearing about the custodians not fixing one toilet, and his friend says "Aren't you Mormon?" And the other kid says, "Yeah, so? Doesn't matter."

Isn't that just sad? Why? Just why.

FUN FACT #3: Alligators can run up to 20 mph!

FUN FACT #4: Worldwide, consumers spend more than $7 billion a year on chocolate (which is why we are running out)

FUN FACT #5: A Saguero cactus can live up to 300 years

FUN FACT #6: The fastest speed of falling raindrop can hate you is 18 mph

(That's gotta hurt!)

SUMMARY:

Had a cold, got a bad cough for two weeks, then contracted Bronchitis. I got an inhaler for a week or so (still have it but I'm cured now) and had finals. (Grades below) First in Oral Expression, where I did a short play with a friend (we did really well, high As) and then in Computers I had a typing test, which I also did well on. Then I had my Science Fair, which I did extremely well on. Then I became Student of the Week. And then I had my Science and Math finals. My teachers are awesome, by the way. Now I'm on break for two and a half weeks (two now) and relaxing everyday. And there was an Alex Boye fireside, which was fun. I got a cool watch for St. Nick's birthday, and I'll be going to a new high school next fall, where I will be in the first graduating class of each grade, because it starts with 7-9 and adds a new grade each year. And I was chosen out of 8 million people to be 1 of a 1000 the beta test a game made by one of my favorite YouTubers called Fortress Fallout. Expect a review soon. That combined with getting new friends, being a Teacher, having girl problems (I'll regret that), my life is crazy.

GRADES:

Chemistry Final: 91.667%

Pre-Algebra Final: 82.5%

Duo Scene Performance: 95%

Typing Test: 100%

Language Arts and Social Studies had no final

FINAL GRADES:

Science:                        A, 92.02%

Pre-Algebra:                  B, 89.23%

Oral Expressions:          A, 99.09%

Computers:                   A, 105.33%

Honors Language Arts: A, 93.76%

Social Studies:              A, 91.05%

WATCH PICTURE:

And that was this week! I don't know how much blogging there will be during break, but see you next time!

Fourteenth Week of School! - Blog #25

Like always, anything that has a link (video, song, website) will be in the post. I also put asterisk notes for clarification. Here you go.

My schedule: Science, Math, Oral Expression (Day 1), Computers (Day 2), Honors Language Arts, Social Studies.

11/3/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Math

I got a 90% on the test, and with test corrections, I can get up to a 95% (because she only give you half the points, even if you get everything fixed quickly)

Honors Language Arts

I got to use my teacher's keys! So in my mind, I was a teacher for all of two minutes!

11/4/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

FUN FACT #2: There are more than 40,000 species of spiders worldwide!

That's for you dad! :-)

There is a kid at my new table who used to be mean to me, but now that he is not, he's actually pretty funny

Math

Our class met our average quiz goal (81%) so we get to sit where we want

NOT!

I wanted to stay in my front seat, and even though the teacher said ' Fill out the front first', everyone except for me didn't, so I got moved to the back

And with the random kid! (He says things so far off topic, you can't see the topic, if you know what I mean)

No one else seems to be understanding moving decimals

Come on people! This is eighth-grade!

Social Studies

I got spitballed

11/5/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oral Expressions

I am one of the like five king/queen of pantomiming!

Honors Language Art

I took things so far today and...I kind a lost one of three participation points for causing trouble

I was the last one in class (I think) to not have my name on the board (essentially, last want to get in trouble)

I thought I wouldn't ever get in trouble...

;-(

And that was this week! See you next time!

10/27/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

I don't know why all the kids watch R horror like Annabelle and the Purge and be like 'eh, it wasn't scary'

The only movie that I hear is the scariest is… The Ring (I can't believe you Dad)

Links: Annabelle Purge The Ring (Honestly, I don't know why I'm putting those there, but I think it is because I said I would put any links)

10/28/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Book Club

I'm the only boy here, so I pretty much get outvoted on everything. Whyyyyyy?!?

Science

Again, outvoted unless I'm the only one who knows something for sure.

Story of my life. 'Sigh' Link (Unintentional pun)

10/29/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

At the end of the week I'm going to start having a random fact of the week

Tell me if I should keep doing it!

FUN FACT #1: The first product with the barcode was Wrigley's gum!

10/30/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

Dang, like all of my notes are for science this week

The teacher showed us a cool program called PhET Link

It is a science simulator

One matches my science fair project perfectly

Math

Yeah! People are finally having full conversations with me!!! : )

(By the way, I finally figured out how to do smiley faces with noses, and I'll be doing that from now on)

Honors Language Arts

We have started reading Animal Farm

10/31/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's Halloween!

The three most popular superheroes or Batman, Superman, and Captain America

Math

My teachers dressed up as Batman, which is funny because she is a girl

Computers

I found three websites that have games on them with the word math or class in the URL and that lets you through the security block the school has on the Internet

Social Studies

We have a sub today who everyone says is mean and they call a 'bulldog' because  of how she looks

Why do you have to be so rude? (Mom,

I tried to phrase that so that it wasn't like the song) (Just for you) :-) Link

And that was this week! See you next time!

Peter's Birthday! - Blog #23

Peter is now 9 years old! Next year and he hits double digits!!! Also, his birthday is on the 23, which is funny because this is my 23 blog post. : ) I totally did that on purpose. Either way, here is his day:

Before

And after...nice Lego theme going on here

Yummy!

You can see the fire in his eyes...

Fire...

Either way not much I know, but still, fire... : ) Alright, see you next time!

10/20/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

If you take one oxygen particle out of CO2 (carbon dioxide) it will become a substance deadly humans

I don't feel safe breathing now!

Oral Expression

We had more fun with skits

My social studies teacher came to judge our skits

Oh now we're learning how to pantomime

Lunch

Some guy who is sitting at the table by me said the stupidest thing

He was like 'hey you do you want to get some crack?'

'No'

'How about some weed?'

'No'

'Ok, but if you ever want some drugs just talk to me, okay?'

'Whatever'

I men really. Why does he think I won't report him?

Plus, next week the school is wearing red to promote that we are a drug free school. Ha!

Honors Language Arts

We sang happy birthday to the teacher! She is so much fun

10/21/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

We are in a different room for science and social studies because of the ACTs

Social Studies

The career part of the ACTs was really easy because you just answer if you like something or not

10/22/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before

Student of the Quarter breakfast! I get a shirt, certificate, and a recognition speech from my teachers

It was cool

Science

I had to write some paragraphs for science, and when I go to class, the instructions said to not write them about my experiment, which is exactly what I did

So I had to rewrite four paragraphs in a super small amount of time, but I got it done because I'm awesome

Oral Expression

We did more pantomimes

Now we get to make our own to show the class

Yeah! My teacher says I'm an advanced pantomimer!

Social Studies

These ACT tests are a joke, this is an even hard!

10/23/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

I am doing awesome on this science fair project

Math

So I didn't get my homework done yesterday and I rushed to finish on the bus, only to find out that we have a sub and I don't need to trade him for two days! Hfsgsgkdt"$:;$")/$;"&;@$"???'ccjn!

Computers

I just learned that Google has a bunch of fun little easter eggs Link

10/24/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Math

I was the only one who helps the sub, like always

This song always says these jokes, and they are REALLY bad

Cringefest 2014

Honors Language Arts

Why is everyone having trouble learning MLA?

And that was this week! See you next time!

Student of the Quarter! - Blog #21

I am Student of the Quarter at school! That means that I have really good grades, if not all As, am polite, pay attention in class, and obey the teachers. I got a cool shirt *picture at bottom*, a certificate *picture also at bottom*, and a really cool speech about how awesome I am from my teachers. That's about it! Here are the pictures: 

There you go! See you next time!

Eleventh Week of School! - Blog #20

I know that it is just three days, but that doesn't mean I'll forget my duty to write notes! Also, quick note. I am loving being a teacher. It is fun to prepare the sacrament and still be able to pass. I also like my new leaders a lot. They're fun and don't ridicule my love for video games. So yeah.

Like always, anything that has a link (video, song, website) will be in the post. I also put asterisk notes for clarification. Here you go.

Science

These pre-tests *For chemistry* are really hard

My table is 3v1 in favor of girls

Math

We are diving right back into this

My group just talks about sports and I'm the only one getting anything done. 'Sigh'

Honors Language Arts

It is so much fun talking to this teacher

Actually, it is fun to talk to all my teachers, and it feels like I'm friends with them, which is kind of weird

10/16/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science

And now begins my first Science Fair Project

Oral Expression

We all did some funny skits with a lot of death and it was so FUNNY!

Lunch

I have learned that I am very unobservant when reading

10/17/14--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is kind of sad that I never went through elementary school because a friend from church brought a grade book from their elementary years and I saw a lot of my friends who looked so funny compared to how they look now, and I will never have that : (

And that was this week! Next week I will be taking the ACT Explore tests which I think will be cool. Link See you next time!

Luke's Birthday! - Blog #19

This is Luke's 7th birthday! Next year he'll be baptized! We just grow up so fast. Here is a picture by picture run through of the day:

His birthday treat

Thinking... What more could I possibly wish for?

And that is his birthday! Now he gets to look forward to getting baptized! See you next time!

The Big Camping Trip Part Two - Blog #18

For reference

What did the dead guy do to you?

For reference

That has gotta hurt...

So pretty

I want to live up there

Even cooler

This is like an ancient hotel with all the holes being on different floors

This is the parking lot for the hotel

For reference

Ha! Take that Bing! Even ancient people don't like you!

If you say so...

This is a cool little model

And that was the second day! Sorry for taking so long to post! See you next time!

Me too

One rock, will save us all, the Focused-Upon Rock! : )

Eliza is a wizard!!!

So tired...

During this hike, I noticed a lot of little rock towers, and Dad thought that they were a spirtual thing. I mean, look at how many I saw, plus more I just didn't take pictures of!

Weird...

And there was our first day! See you next time! ((c) Dad took some of these pictures)
