Day 4

Today I went to the cafeteria at 8:00 and I still wasn't late. Hee Hee that rhymes!!! When the students were dismissed I went to my Advisory. Instead of talking about yoga and rules the class started debating about the uniforms. Most of the students didn't like the uniforms but to me they do 3 BIG things for me...

1. I can sleep later because I don't have to worry about what I'll wear the next day.
2. Everyone looks the same so there is no teasing about fashion.
   
3. You can think more about you work than your earrings.
   

Nothing really big happened today except for the story I starting for English and the teamwork activity I did in S.T.E.M were one person is Builder and the builder builds what ever instructions the Observer tells them and if the builder is confuse the Listener can ask questions to help the builder out and the Manager makes sure that the Observer keeps their hands behind their back so they can't point and that the Listener doesn't talk to the Builder. The point is that is that the Observer looks at a small Lego building the teacher has made and uses their memory of it to tell the builder what to builder. When I left I was shocked because I have homework over the weekend. Well I guess that's just middle school. Bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 3

Today (well yesterday) was my third day here. We all went to cafeteria for assembly like I will do for the rest of the year. Then I went to Advisory and my teacher handed out the rules of yoga. After the next 2 weeks we will start our morning yoga. When the bell rang I went to Liberal Arts and we read poems and would try to figure what the author was saying and what we liked about it. We also took notes about mini stories we read and shared them. After, I went to art where we read a few pages from a text book about the Elements of art. We then did blind drawing where you don't look at your paper where you draw and only look at the thing you were drawing. When the bell rung I went to lunch (I go to lunch after second period). The food is AMAZING. I haven't eaten school lunch in 4 years!!! When I finished my lunch I went to World Cultures and we talked about the homework we were given on the first day. We all thought we were reading an article about a strange tribe in South America but really we were reading about our selfs. The writer of the article was American but wrote it as if he was from a foreign country. That gave use a taste of what it will be like to learn about different cultures and not to judge them instantly. After that we had Math Pre-Ap were we wrote down vocabulary words in our journal like exponents. The bell finally rang and we left school with our backpack full of HOMEWORK!!!!!!

B Day The Best

Today was B day so my classes were different. My courses were Science, S.T.A.R.S, PE, English, and S.T.E.M. First was Science which was taught by Ms.Harbert or Mr.Murry, both very nice and great teachers. Science Fair will be required at this school but I think that's great! Next was S.T.A.R.S. which stands for Success Through Academics, Responsibility, and Service, taught by Ms.Turner. S.T.A.R.S. is the leader ship class and it was the class Ann Richards was most excited about!!! Then PE who is taught by Coach Brown, a former Lady Longhorn. The cool thing about PE here is that in most schools, PE is only half the year but at Ann Richards PE is all year so we can stay healthy. Next is English taught by Ms.Langley of Ms.Fernandez. In English, the class will be like a giant workshop where we write what ever we want and practice our reading skills. Last for me is S.T.E.M. taught by Mr.Murry or Ms.Harbert. S.T.E.M. stands for Science Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Here we well learn about well, those 4 things. I chose this class because I want to be a Chemical Engineer when I grow up. A great course to take if you love Science. There are other things too like Band and Choir but I don't take those classes so you might need someone else for those 2 classes. That was day 2. If my next day comes in late like this one sorry. I'm still a child under rules and I can still get in trouble. Bye!!!

My First A Day

Today was my first day of school at the Ann Richards School!!! Reporters was EVERYWHERE!!!! All day we just fill questionnaires and talked about our selfs but I will explain my classes and such. Everyday is either an A day or a B day. We got syllabuses for every class too so we got an idea of what we'll be doing for the rest o the year. Today was an A day so for my schedule I had Liberal Arts, Art, World Cultures, and Math Pre-Ap. Everyday also the school has something called Advisory. It's just like homeroom except the whole school Advisories do the same lesson and there's always a lesson behind each activity. Liberal Arts (Humanities) is taught by Mrs.Langley (former Kealing teacher). In Humanities I will learn about our culture. Next is Art taught by Mrs.Fernandez who is also my Advisory teacher. In Art I will be able to work with many different art materials. After that I have World Cultures taught by Ms.DiCuffa or Mr.Washington. World Cultures is just a fancy word for Social Studies. My final period is Math Pre-AP taught by Mrs.Diaz and Mr.Murry. Math Pre-AP will be a math class that challenges student more that twice than regular math which is better for me. After I went back to Advisory and the day ended at 3:50.

Last Day of Summer 2007

School starts tomorrow!!! All day I've been working on my Ann Richards School project but I just finished it. All the pressure is off. I've been playing all summer and I forgot about the project!!! I'm sooooo exited about school tomorrow. I've already made a bunch of friends thanks to the transition camp. I hope school's as fun as it though! Hey, guess which pair of legs are mine!!!
