CST Testing Reflection

I have been testing for the last three days and I am frusturated about it. The first day of the CST test, I took the English portion and it was extremely easy. On wednesday, I took the Math portion and that was easy as well. Today I took the history section and that test was difficult and confusing. Most of the questions that were asked on the test, I haven't learned so I had to take a guess. Tomorrow I am taking the biology section and Friday I am taking the science section. I hope that both of the test I am taking in the next few days aren't difficult and I hope the questions are about somethings I already learned. I hope that I don't have to take a test like this one anytime soon and hopefully I did well on them.

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

I am taking the CST next week and I feel ready and confident. When I had to take the CAHSEE a few weeks ago I felt ready but at the same time overwhelmed. I knew that I was going to do well so thats why I felt ready. I knew that if I read all the questions carefully and stay focused and positive I would do well on the test. Every time I take test I feel the same way because I stay positive, which makes me confident and I feel ready to pass the test. The CTS is right around the corner and I know that I am going to do well on it and try my best not to guess. I feel very confident and ready but at the same time slightly nervous.

I know that the most important rule when taking test is to follow direction carefully and read everything that is on the page. I know that I have to try my best on this test, not give up, and stay positive. I am nervous about this test but if I apply all these strategies that I have learned I know that I will do well on it.

Playwrights Project Inspired by Music Paragraph

In class today, we listened to music so we can come up with ideas for our play. At first, I was very confused and lost as to what I wanted to write about, but then the music was very smooth and I got into the flow of it. While listening to the music, I thought about a very romantic moment ina movie and I got lost in my thoughts. My thoughts weren't very romantic or exciting, they were more sad because of my experience. While I was writing, I remembered every moment of my experience and I was able to visualize everything that happened that day. I was able to do my classwork because the music made me remember one of my worst experiences and I was also able to experience it all over again. Afterward, I felt the same way I felt when I was experiencing it, but I felt good because I know that it makes me stronger.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, I researched websites to find out more information about my topic for my research paper. To search for websites, I used some of the links Ms.Priester introduced us to to in class. When I found a website related to my focus question, I read the article and made sure it had a title, a publishing date, and a publisher, to make sure they were at grade or above grade level. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because they had ads or way too many ads and they had no dates, titles, or publishers. I know the websites I selected are good because they have all the qualities of above or at grade level article should have or they were from professors or an educated person. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me that I did a good job researching for my topic.

Third Quarter Awards Review

On friday we had an awards assemly in the auditorium to recognize the students who had above a 3.0 gpa in third quarter. All the students, teachers, social workers and staff attended the awards assembly. Many awards were given out for grades and others for citizenship grades, attitude, and other things. I recieved threee awards, one for having a 4.0 gpa, another one for most improved from Beedles class, and the last one was for Knott's Berry Farm. There were so many kids that were being recognized for their grades and recieved a certificate and some money depending on their gpa. On the next awards assembly I am going to be receiving another 4.0 award and seeing many more kids in front getting their awards for working hard.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is “How does the definition of beauty differ across the world"?I already know that every person has their own meaning of beauty and it all depends on the person. Some people may think that personality makes someone beautiful while anothe person may think that a person's features is beauty. I also now that beauty differs across the world because of the many different variety of cultures we have. Every culture is different and they have their own perspective of beauty and what makes a person beautiful, it can be from accessories, to piercing, to clothing, etc. Additionally there is no definition of beauty and everyone is going to have their own definition to it. By doing research, I hope to learn what people on the otherside of the world or even neighbors, think about beauty and their definition.

“Switch” Play Audience Member Experience

Today, I went to a play called "Switch" with some sophomores and juniors. The play was about foster kids, how the system works, and all the struggles that kids are faced with. I was very suprised by the way the characters changed persona and how they stuck to the character they were playing. I think it was an amazing play and I recommend people to go see it because the experience was extrordinary and very eye opening. I was very touched in some of the parts and some made me cry because many kids are going through many things like getting taken away and it very emotional seeing it get played out. An example from the play that made me cry was when the kid was getting taken away from his mother and he was crying and screaming. Many people don't know what foster care is or what foster kids are and this play was so good that it basically explained it just by acting it out. I am very glad that I was able to experience this and I hope that I can go to more plays like this one and one day write a play about my experince as a foster kid and have it acted out.

Yesterday I said bye to my grandma before I went to go buy food next to the store by my house. Before I left I asked my grandma for money and she gave me four dollars. I went to the store and bought two candies. On one of the wrappers it said that I had won a prize. I was so excited I did not know what to do so I ran home and got a big knot on my back. So I told my grandma and she started to hesitate whether we should go get the prize because the weather had changed. She told me I would have to wear boots and a rain coat to go outside and asked "where is this place"? As we walked I could hear my grandma become weak and said to come here.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection

The fourth quarter kickoff was very enjoyable and I had so much fun. I was in team 3 and eventhough we didn't win and had less points than the other teams, we were still able to have fun playing the games. My favorite activity we had was the water activities eventhough I got wet and ichy from the grass. It was a very hot and beautiful day so the water made it even better and refreshing. My team worked together in every activity but unfortunatley other teams won us. I had so much fun on the fourth quarter kickodd and I hope we can do it again and have the same enthusiasm so we can win.
