Gossip

This is my last blog,so I wanted to say what I thought about gossip. I think gossip is SO LAME! It can tear people apart, just because someone can't keep their mean thoughts to themselves. Why do we always have to talk about other people, and why can't it be nice!? What happened to the saying, don't speak if it isn't nice!? Since, we are all together, WHY CAN'T WE BE NICE TO EACH OTHER!

Nellie Bly

Today 7 Gold went to a field trip to the Newseum. It was really awesome! My group and few other groups went to the 4-D movie theater. It was so cool because, it felt as if I were in the movie. The technology utilized all of the senses except for taste. The moving seats made the movie experience more lifelike. The movie made it as if we were traveling through time, to the three great reporters. The one I really remembered was Nellie Bly. She was a reporter who went to an institute for psychologically challenged people and some of them were actually sane (before they went to the institute). The nurses at the institue were TERRIBLE! All of them were fat mean slobs. The women were treated so poorly! Nellie ate disgusting food and had taken a freezing bath. There were also mice in the rooms. Though, because of her efforts the place was donated a million dollars.

Substitues Again

Today, was a great day at school, as usual. My class had substitues again. For the same two classes, science and social studies. Except, during social studies the substitute was not there for the whole mod. The best thing was, that I didn't have my science test because there was a substitute. Also, I had P.E. today which was fun. For reading we read and got our textbooks. For homework we have to draw and I can't draw to save my life!

Substitues Mostly

Today was a great day at school, as usual. So far, this week has been crazy. Teachers are shoving tests, homework, projects and more down my throat. I got everything done, though. Back to today. Two of my teachers were out so, that made the day easier,all I did was worksheets, in social studies and science. For language arts, we listened/read a science fiction story called, "They Were Dark and Yellow Eyed". I thought the story was pretty good because I hadn't read good science fiction story in a while. However, my classmates thought the story was weird and funny.

School Daze

Today was a great day, as usual. Today, P. E. was really lame. Usually, at P.E. we exercise and listen to music at the same time. Though, today all we did was sit around and talk, no exercise AT ALL.IT WAS SO BORING! In science, we did a new lab, the question was, which bone would be rubbery the one soaked in vinegar or the one soaked in water. My table predicted that the bone soaked in vinegar would be rubbery and when we did our labs, the bone soaked in vinegar was really rubbery. I'm doing the conclusion for the lab. The students who are running for sga president and vice president, said their speeches over the intercom. I thought all of them were good, though the candidates can do a better job of getting their point across.

Inana, France, and Jeopardy

Today was a great day, as usual. In social studies, my class rewatched the Epic of Gilgamesh and then read the written versioon of it. We are also doing a character analysis of a character from the Epic of Gilgamesh. At first, I wanted to do mine on Inanna but changed my mind. Now, I want to do mine on, the Sumerian Noah, from Noah's Ark. In French class, we learned more about the history of France.For example, July 14th is the day France had stopped being a monarchy. In science, we are going to play jeopardy tommorrow, on the last three sections we have been studying. Also, in reading class we are learning about helping verbs.

Campaigning and Learning

Today was another AWESOME day.My friend is running for vice president and I'm her campaign manager. She has really great ideas for the school, like why it is so important to wear uniforms and the gum matter. Though, that's just the beginning. Right now, we are still trying to enlist people for her campaign. In language arts class we are doing the rough draft, of a memorable person. In class, I wrote a list of people that I might like to write about. The list included several of my friends and some members of my family. People I knew I would remember for a long time. In social studies, my class is learning about the Fertile Crescent and Mesopotamia. Mesopatamia is an ancient civilization, that was both hindered and thrived on the rivers that surrounded them. I'm really excited about learning more about the Fertile Crescent and the civilizations that had lived there.
