Amaya S.  Period #7   4/30/14   Today has been a regular day and I'm honestly glad because this week has had many changes to it including the schedule.

Amaya S. Period #7 4/22/14

What would I do if I were famous? I keep asking myself this question over and over in my head. I think that some famous people can become good or bad influences. I want to people the kind of famous person that is a good influence on people not a bad one. The good kind of influence shows people the positive path they’re suppose to take as a kid, but the bad kind of influence shows kids the wrong path they’re no suppose to take as a kid. I want to be famous and make people feel as if they’re going down a good path in life and if people are already taking a bad path then I would help them find a way out. Amaya S. 4/21/14 My score was A- (90%) I would rather have a little sister than a little brother because, having a little sister means you can do more girly things like do each others hair, nails, or pick out each others outfits for the day, unlike if you had a little brother who you can’t do any type of girly thing with him. I have always wanted a little sister but sadly I ended up with a little brother it’s not that I don’t love him I just rather prefer having a little sister… J 4/14/14 I would rate the quality of these blogs on a scale from 1 to 10 an 5 because some of these peoples blogs have incorrect punctuation like, forgetting to put periods at the end of each sentence, or not capitalizing there I’s and lastly not capitalizing the beginning of a sentence. I would rate the quality of their comments from a scale of 1 to 10 an 8 because some comments are accurate and some aren’t. My blog posts and comments would be different from Ms. Duncan’s class because I would make sure to have proper punctuation and my comments would be accurate towards what the post was. What is good about my grades is that I got an A on the teacher story assignment but it is not good that I got an F on the language skills reflection, I was actually surprised that I got a good grade on my teacher story. The grade on my teacher story is fair because I got a really good grade on it. I also think that it is fair that I got an F on the language skills reflection because I forgot to finish it and I never turned it in. I honestly don’t know what to write about, I mean there are so many options to choose from. I have so many ideas floating about in my head Today during Spanish we were starting to present our family tree projects. I haven’t finished mine yet so I have to present tomorrow, but I’m not the only one. It’s taking me a long time because I have a lot of family members and I have to put them all down on the board that I have to decorate and I have to finish my paragraphs on each family member and memorize it so it’ll be easier to present to the entire class. Period#7 Amaya S. 3/14/14 Today in spanish we started to create our family tree project. we have to make it colorful and unique. i have a lot of family members so it's gonna take me a while to finish the project. i have about three different sides of my family. also i have lots of aunts uncles and cousins. i also have a lot of grandmothers and grandfathers. Period#7 Amaya S. 3/12/14 today during spanish we were working on our paragraphs for our family tree project. i am almost done with all my paragraphs. In the book and the movie they both show the part where the church burns down, when Ponyboy and Johnny try and pick up Bob and Randy’s girls, and the part when Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold. In the movie they didn’t show the part when they went to the court house to find out if they can still live together or be sent to a boys home but they showed it in the book. My idea is to right about a time more into the future wen a couple of soc girls named Carly, Jenny, and Bridget go to a party late at night while their brothers are gone and without their permission, and the party is full of greasers but sense they didn’t dress like regular soc no one recognized them as a soc. Bridget and her friends meet a couple of greasers.

Period#7 Amaya S. 3/3/14 Today during Spanish we finished the movie and now we have to work a summary about the whole movie and it has to be long or we won’t get credit. The ending was almost like the one I was thinking of. Technically my prediction was close. Also, in the movie Marta learns that not everything is about her and she learned how to be a grown woman. During history we started to learn about the renaissance, we started to work on a chapter walk like we always do. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/28/14 Testing makes me feel like I am in a box and I can’t get out until the test is over. The box makes me feel nervous like if I mess up I can’t get out until I fix it. I wish testing didn’t have to be so hard and nerve racking, but that is what my life made it. When the box makes me nervous I mess up on the test and then I’m trapped for good. Why did the box have to be there in the first place? When I end up failing the test I wish I could say it’s the boxes fault, but it’s my fault for letting it make me nervous. So every time I take the test I keep trying to avoid the box. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/27/14 Today during Spanish class we started to watch a movie about a family planning a big Mexican birthday party for the 14-year-old birthday girl. There is a pacific word for a girl’s Mexican birthday party but I forgot how to spell it. In Mexico 14-year-old girls celebrate their 15th birthday party as a way to show everyone that she is now a woman. We only just started watching, and I hope that the rest of the movie ends up really good. period#7 Amaya S. 2/26/14 Today during Spanish class we worked on two different work sheets to help us understand are new sections that we are learning. We are learning about family members and any kind of animal that is apart of your family. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/25/14 Today in spanish we did a lot of taking notes and listen to spanish music videos teaching us how to say words and sentences in spanish. we were mostly watching videos on are new section in spanish. we were also taking notes on are neew section to we have to take notes or we won't know about how to say this or say that, basically taking notes is important in mr. pena's class. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/24/14 Today in Spanish we are learning a new section in class. We are learning about birthdays and family members. In the new section we are going to watch a movie about what it takes to plan a Mexican birthday. We are also going have to write a whole page in Spanish about the characters. Today we have to do the new vocab for the new section. Some of the words in the new vocab I already know, which makes it easier to study so I can memorize the words. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/21/14 Today in spanish class we watched //Night at the Museum.// While we watched in spanish we had to write down the words that we know in spanish and then write them both down the words in both spanish and english. in history we could either work on are project or we can work on are shields that he gave us. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/19/14 Today in Spanish class we did this thing where you had to partner up with some and take all the vocabulary that you have done on the past few months and one of you have to say the word in English and the other has to write it down in Spanish. Then when your five minutes are up you have to switch and then the other person has to say it in English and the other has to write it in Spanish. During history we continued to work on are projects where first you have to use the links he put on the website and research your topic and then you have to find three citations and write Cornell notes on them, but you have to site where you got your information from. Well that is what most of my day looked like. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/18/14 I checked my grades in powerschool are not as descent as I would like them but the only grade I have to worry about is my grade in english class because I have a C right now and I need to bring that grade up so I won't fail the semester.But besides that I have good enough grades. I have A's, B's, and C's. I only have two C's. I have one C in history which I can bring up to at least a B. I also have a C in algebra but i am two percentages away from a B. So far my semester two grades are actually pretty great, or at least will be when I bring those C's up to B's and I will try my hardest to keep them at B's.I have improved n some of my classes. Like in spanish last semester I had a B but now I have an A. I like getting A's in my classes. I have an A in P.E. and I have an A in spanish. I hope I can get good grades this semester. Period #7 Amaya S. 2/10/14 Today in spanish we are continuing to work on are group presentation on talking about a meal. We have to be in a group of four and we each have to have dialogue. I am playing one of the little sisters who argue about the food and drink that we will have during dinner. I have a lot of lines, thank goodness that we do not have to memorize are lines. Each group will have to present on wednesday. My group and I have to polish up our presentation and start rehearsing it. Each group doesn't have to memorize their presentation. Today during history we learned about vikings and about how they raided different parts of the country. Today during science we watched a video on the eye and how it functions. During math today we learned about solving inequalities and graphing them on a number line. Lastly in P.E.we continued to learn new games in basketball. Well... that's it for today stay tuned for tomorrow. PERIOD#7 AMAYA S. 2/7/14 I EARNED THE GRADE I HAVE BECAUSE I GOT B’S ON ALL MY HOMEWORK. I TINK THAT I AM DOING BETTER TAN I DID LAST SEMESTER, SO THAT’S GOOOD…RIGHT. FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL FOR MY NEW AND IMPROVE GRADE IS TO WORK HARDER ON MY HOMEWORK AND MAKE THEM BETTER THAN THEY ARE. I DO THINK THAT I CAN IMPROVE MY GRADES BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/4/14 Today we all went to an assembly on are new fundraiser. At first I thought it was a little lame because of the presentation but then when I found out all the cool prizes in an instant I wanted to start selling right away. My old fundraisers were nothing like this one. My old fundraisers were not as fun or exciting. I’m hoping that I will sell a lot of things in this fundraiser so that I can get a lot of the prizes. I can ask my grandparents and the rest of my family too. I'm sure that i can sell a lot to reach my goal. Period#7 Amaya S. 2/3/14 It is February; the month is filled with on of the biggest celebrations of all time… valentines day. I do not like Valentines Day for special reasons. During Valentines Day for little kids at school you can have school parties or give out Valentines Day cards, for me it’s all very unnecessary. I did like the parties though because you can bring all sorts of things like heart shaped cookies, heart shaped brownies and etc.… you can bring lots of heart shaped things. The only I don’t like is the valentine cards. 1 Yes you can borrow my car, but you must return it by 11:00 pm. 2 An alligator caused a fright when I escaped from the Bronx Zoo. 3 Mr. Lundeberg’s class planted a oak tree along the walking trail on Arbor Day. Amaya S. Period#7 1/22/14 Today I found out my grade for the math test I got an A my first A on a math test, actually on any test. Then P.E. came and we had to run a mile…. A MILE!!! Right After we had to run the mile in P.E. we had a science test which I got a C on. After we had the test we went to history which now I have to finish an entire project for homework cause it’s due tomorrow. Then I went to Spanish, which I got a big fat D on the mid-term. 1/21/14  Amaya S.  Period#7 Amaya S. Period#7 1/21/14 Yesterday me, my brother, and my mom went to our grandparents for dinner and my grandmother gave us a DVD with videos from the past years. When we got home and watched them we noticed that it was all the videos of our birthdays, holidays, even the recording of my play that me and a lot of my friends did at are creative preforming arts class over the summer. We did it to the play Oliver; it’s about a boy who is lost in city filled with pitt-pockets and barmaids. I played the leading girl Nancy. It was filled with singing and dancing. So i wish that i could go back in time and do these moments all over again. 1/16/14  Period #7 Amaya S. Today in science we had a notebook check and I got a B on it, which made me happy because it could really bring my grade up in that class. If I keep up the good grades on my notebook checks then I could get my C up to a B, which would help me fulfill my goal in getting my grades up. Amaya S. Period#7 1/15/14 I have a C in math, which is better then having a D. I had a D until I turned in my packet points now my grade is a C. I have a B in P.E because I show effort in class. I have a C in science, which can easily make up to a B. I am 1 percentage away from turning my C in history to a B. I have a B in Spanish because I am very good at speaking the language. And in this class I have a C which I am hoping to bring up to a B, when I say hope to that means it’s my goal to try to get at least a B in this class, also to bring my C in math to a B, and bring my C in science up to a B. Basically I am trying to bring my C’s up to B’s. Maybe even make my B’s A’s. next semester I will try to make my gal happen.

Amaya S. Period#7 1/14/14 Today during Spanish we worked on memorizing are benchmarks and how to put hard parts on flash cards. I am not that good with memorizing flash cards; actually I am not good at memorizing anything. I have to try to memorize part of my bench mark by tomorrow, actually I don’t have to present until Thursday.

Word count:90 1/13/14 Period#7 Amaya S. Today in history we had a vocab quiz. We had to use are vocab words to answer and find the right definition. At first I knew some of them but then I couldn’t get a lot of them correct I was trying my best to find the correct one but some of them ended up wrong. I didn’t get a good enough grade as I could of but I still did my best. Today in Spanish we were still working on getting ready for our midterms. Amaya S. Period #7 1/10/14 Today in Spanish we were working on are Spanish benchmarks. All we have to do is write a couple of paragraphs about a friend. I did mine on my little brother because he is the only one that I know all about. I had to include things like their favorite food and their favorite drink. Also we had to describe what they look like and there favorite activities. We also worked on something that would help us get ready for the Spanish mid-terms.

1/9/14  Period #7 Amaya S. I really like the movie monsters university my little brother got the movie on DVD for Christmas and we watched it together. It was the cutest little movie ever. I love everything about the movie. My little brother even bought himself the whole ozzma kaapa crew which if you watched the movie you would know who ozzma kaapa is. The movie started with mike (aka, the little green guy) is a little kid going on a field trip with his class to the place were monsters go to scare little kids to get energy for their town. He was always bullied because all the other little monsters don’t think he is scary enough. Amaya s. Period #7 1/8/14 Today during math class I first walk in to find out that my netbook has been stolen I do not know who took all I know is that when I first got to school today that I had it with me then I put it on my desk in my math class, so that means that it could have been taken in the morning before school even started. My backpack was also misplaced not by me of course but by the same person who took my netbook. I am really upset that someone would take my personal belongings and put them somewhere else. word count 227 Amaya S. Period#7 1/7/14 Today in Spanish class we started are midterms. Some people finished a lot of people are still working on it. I among a lot of people am still working on it. Some of the questions are hard but a lot of the questions are easy. The midterm is a test we take for the final semester. It’s a test filled with everything we’ve learned in the whole year. The test has a difficulty scale, what I mean by that is the test questions start out easy but get harder and harder as you go through the test. I honestly wish I had study more because when the test started to get harder I forgot some of the stuff that we learned. The test is about 74 questions, and it has a lot of multiple choose questions and a couple of essay questions. The essay questions for me were hard. One of the essay questions told me to describe a friend in Spanish. This question was easy for me because over the year we have had a lot of Spanish projects that tell us to describe a friend in Spanish or to describe a family member in Spanish. I hope that I can get a good grade on this Spanish midterm because it could really improve my grade from an A to a B. 1/6/14 Amaya S. Period #4 During my Christmas break I had a lot of fun. On Christmas day I got a lot of really cool presents but the best present I got was a flat screen TV. I also got things like a Wii, Just Dance 2014, I even got a subscription to Teen Vogue, also a lot of gift cards to different places. During the res of the break I did lots of fun things like I went shopping and to the movies and on New Years Eve my mom and I and here friends and my friends had huge celebration. I also went to a fun birthday party. The next week of break I didn’t really do that much. Amaya silvas 12/16/13 Period#7 When I grow up I hope to be a professional dancer. Dancing has always been a passion of mine sense I was seven years old. I would always put on little performances for my family. The only style of dance I like to do is hip-hop. I would find a song I liked and make a dance routine. I go to hip-hop dance lesson during the weekends. I hop that I can live out my dream in the future but there is some complications to me dancing. I have a huge case of stage fright and I could never really dance in front of people, except for my family members. Then one time in fifth grade I tried out for the talent show. I would rehearse every week. When the talent show day was here I was really nervous to go up in front of all my friends, even my family. Then when the music started I began dancing and I had really fun. After the talent show was over lots of my friends were coming up to me and telling me that I was really good and that they loved my dance routine. My family liked it to and I really had a blast doing the talent show with my close friends. Amaya silvas 12/10/13 Period_#7 My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love Christmas because everything about this particular holiday, I love being able to decorate a Christmas tree every year. I always get the chance to put my favorite decoration on the tree. I also love Christmas music; the songs make me get into the holiday spirit. I lastly love to get together with my family and make the Christmas dinner. 11/11/13 I used evidence to prove that I was correct about my solution to fix the unsolved problem.

My babysitting experience… One night my mom was going out and she wanted me to babysit my little brother. At first I was I didn’t want to but then I thought, maybe it would be okay to watch him. So on the day I had to watch him we started out watching a movie and eating pizza that my mom got us. The movie we watched was hilarious I could not stop laughing. Then after the movie we decided to eat a snack and watch something on TV. We were eating ice cream and watching are favorite show on Disney channel. When we were done eating are ice creams we decided to eat6 popcorn and watch another movie. Amaya silvas What is it like to go shopping with my mother?

The first time I went shopping with my mother was one of the most interesting and unnerving experiences of my life. Of course I have my own style and when my mother tries to step into my kind of style and change then things are going to get ugly. I of course try to get away from her and the pretty pink or baby blue kind of clothes; I am not in to that kind of stuff I mean I used to like when I was five.

I always like my fashion to be loud an exciting not quite any sound less kinds of clothing that my mom picks out for me and of course when she makes me try them on and I almost barf because of how ugly they are, I mean seriously I am not a little kid any more. I want to be able to express myself and whom I am and I am not going to let her get in the way of messing up my style.

Period 7th

One time when I was in 5th grade I stayed up really late because I didn’t really want to go to bed. The next day I went to school and I wasn’t really tired until the end of the day I got tired and I wasn’t really paying attention in class.

Journal #2

Last weekend I went to universal studio’s with my two uncles and my little brother. We first went on the brand new ride transformers in 3d. At first I was scared to go on but it was actually pretty cool. The ride to me felt so real, like I was actually in the movie. After the transformer ride we went on the mummy ride I wasn’t really scared until the ride started. At first I wasn’t scared at first, the starts out slow but gets really fast. At the end of the ride it goes backwards and I didn’t really understand that but it was really cool.
