Eighteenth Week of School! - Blog #30

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, Project Lead The Way (Day 1), Student Aid (Day 2), Honors Language Arts, Social Studies


1/20/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science
We are learning about meiosis
Not cool! Now we are using math in Science!

Project Lead The Way
Supposedly, we will run out of oil in 2050
I bet that we will have electric cars by then, and have solar energy or something

Honors Language Arts
We are learning about some people from the holocaust, and these stories are sad and kind of creepy
Apparently, Storm troopers and Darth Vader are based off of Nazis and Hitler
The Star Wars I knew is no more... : (

Social Studies
We have a lot of work, but for some reason I am extremely satisfied with my speed and quality of my work today
Hmm...

1/21/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science
FUN FACT #10: Humans share 60% of their DNA with a banana
We had to make smiley face babies based on coin flips: 


Student Aid
So bored!!!
We rarely ever have work to do
On the upside, I get to go to the library a lot
One librarian I actually know really well and she knows me
She even remembers the last book I asked for so she can recommend new books or can put the next book in a series on hold quickly

1/22/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project Lead The Way
We get to use brand new computers! The rest of the school has computers from like 5 years ago, maybe even more

Honors Language Arts
We are going to be reading the play of The Diary of Anne Frank
I did not know that Natalie Portman played Anne in a live performance
The whole class gasped when we found out

1/23/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science
We got Spring Pictures for 'graduates' today
It is just Jr. High people!
Math
I finished the quiz today quickly, so I spent 45 minutes playing Minecraft while listening to my music

Student Aid
YES! Lots of work and things to do!

Honors Language Arts
We got to take a VR tour of Anne Frank's hideout LINK

And that was this week! See you next time!

Seventeenth Week of School! - Blog #29

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, Project Lead The Way (Day 1), Student Aid (Day 2), Honors Language Arts, Social Studies


1/12/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Student Aid
Now I have someone else to work with
I ran into Anya while I was delivering something

Honors Language Arts
We got a person from the Holocaust, and we have to guess from their name and picture who they were essentially
Some people got weird names, like Adolf Heck or some, like me, get names like David Bergman
These people could be soldiers, Nazis, or victims

Social Studies
We talked our way out of all the work

1/13/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's Dad's birthday! He is 37 😄

Honors Language Arts
We are being taught the eight steps of genocide
Where technically being taught how to commit genocide
Yeah...

1/14/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science
I went to training to become a Student Aid
FUN FACT #9: 25,000,000 of your cells died as you read this sentence. It's okay though, because your body will make 300 billion new celles today! 😅

Honors Language Arts
My teacher knows that my Wednesday nights are busy, *I have Mutual* so she told me I can do the homework tomorrow in class

1/15/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science
I couldn't get my homework done because I was at Student Aid training yesterday, so I did it in class, which should of gotten me partial credit no matter what, but she gave me full credit
Yay for being a responsible student!

Project Lead The Way
This is my note car[d]: 

We all made different ones and drove them by rolling a marble down a ruler into them
I would have one by passing 12 feet, but a chunk of tape flipped it

1/16/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science
We made little animal cells out of treats:

I could name all the parts in a diagram, but that would take awhile

Math
We learned about the new high school
We are going to be the Casteel Colts!
Second place was Cowboys, third was Cougars
I wanted Cougars
Casteel Cougars...has a nice ring to it, don't us think?
I think every condensed Mormon area needs a school with a Cougar mascot

Student Aid
It is fun to run into Anya and my friends while delivering

It is awesome that I get to take my iPod because I can get pictures of stuff that you wouldn't see otherwise

Sorry for the inconsistent blog posts, I'm working on making it a regular Sunday thing

And that was this week! See you next time!

My schedule: Science, Math, Project Lead The Way (Day 1), Student Aid (Day 2), Honors Language Arts, Social Studies

Heads up!!! This is a new year and school semester, so I have different electives as shown above. Also, there will be some notes from General Art, because I switched to Student Aid after the first class.

Now I'm allowed to brim my iPod to school!!! Yay!!!
We are learning about genetics and adaptions
A lot of the boys left when the teacher talked about 'unfertalized eggs'
'Sigh'
This is going to be a long two months
There is a new student on the team
It is been a while since we got a new student
Kids are already losing phones two minutes into the semester

General Art
Is one of my new electives
I know almost everyone from Oral Expressions, which is the only reason I want to stay

Honors Language Arts

This is going to be an awesome class
We even get to play with some nanotechnology!

1/8/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Science
I am going to be here for 2 1/2 hours!!! 'Sigh'

Student Aid
This is fun
It isn't a class, but not a job either
I get to run errands, file papers, and just general help

Honors
We got to do a fun pie chart of you is responsible for the Holocaust
Yes, the topic is dreary, but the activity and thought process was fun

1/9/15----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anya's birthday!!!

Science
Went on my first school field trip! 
We went to Perry high school to see some of the electives for those who will be going
If I wasn't bordered for the new school, which is going to be called Castille High School, I would definitely go to Perry
We got to see some technology classes, printing classes, artistic classes, and even baby sitting classes
Some of the classes can even count for college credit

FUN FACT #7: One in two billion people live to be 116 or older!

FUN FACT #8: In the US, tomatoes are consumed more than any other fruit or veggie


BTW, what was the verdict on making reviews? Would any of you be interested in reading those?

And that was this week! See you next time!

Quick update - Blog #27

So school starts back up really soon, on Tuesday. So blogs will be going up. However, they will be smaller than they used to be because as we get farther into the year I have less time to write. At least to write about, because it's pretty much the same old same old almost every day. The first one or two may be a little bit lengthier than the others because I have the two new elective starting up on Tuesday and Wednesday. Also something that I'm considering doing is starting like a review thing. I got a cool format from my computer teacher about how to do a product review. I can apply that to things such as maybe a TV show or a game without giving anything away of course. I know that maybe the games would be more or less relevant to some of you just because you don't play video games, but I still might want to do it. What do you guys think?  Also, I feel like I've been treating this like a YouTube channel. I mean that I ask you guys about if I should do something to see if you'd be interested to read it. I know that all of you would read anyway, but I still want to have stuff you guys at least enjoy reading, not just reading because I'm related to you or know you. Either way I'll see you guys in the next blog which will be coming up soon of either my next week of school, or of a certain game or TV show/movie review if you guys are up to it. See you next time!
