The Final Blog.

Well, it has certainly been an interesting semester this year. I am glad to have gained the knowledge needed to advance towards the next levels of education. With the help of Mrs Q. and many other names that I will not be mentioning, it has been a great privilege to have learned and accomplished so much. I hope to be a student of her's, maybe as a scholar or honors if by any chance in the future and I am looking forward to pursuing a career in teaching. I will continue my daily reading routine and maybe blog as well. So until next time, Happy Holidays!

Presentations post-poned

We didn't get to present because majority of the class didn't complete their projects. So Mrs. Q, gave us until Wednesday of this week to be prepared. I am excited to present my projects and hope that I get a passing grade for both. I am already done with my reflection, reaction, and my assessments so I guess I am pretty much set for conferencing. The class was also planning to do a pot-luck, so if it does happen, I will be bringing some kelaguen. The semester is already near ending and I really enjoyed learning much from this reading course. I will maintain my daily reading and hope that the other students will do the same as well. Mrs. Q. said that we will lose it if we do not read daily, so I don't on making that happen. Well, until later, I blog more then.

Workshop day :)

Today, had workshop day. I started on my storyboard and now have the whole thing set out. Thanks to our wonderful teacher, she gave me great examples on how my story board should turn out. I am very excited to getting this done, and am even more stoked to present both of my projects on Monday of next week. I hope I am not the only though, because I'd love to see my fellow classmates present their work. So until next week, I'll be blogging more about it then.

Final Day of Silent Reading..

Today was the final day of silent reading. I'm really going to miss it. No really, I am. Anyways, we are meeting up Wednesday, the 21st, and are going to work on our projects. Mrs. Q. said we can bring in our projects and that we can do it during our class time and maybe get some help from our fellow students. So I am going to bring in only one of the two projects, because the other one that I am not bringing in is already done, it just needs some finishing touches. I am very excited to finish all work. I need to boost my grades in order to Graduate this Semester. Well, I'll blog more later! See ya

Well, the book, "Brothers of the heart" was a really good book to read. Although I didn't put much effort onto finishing this book as quick as possible, at least I did. It's a really interesting novel. It's wonderful how a cripple can become a strong, independent person. At one point, I was almost going to tear. As embarrassing as it seems, yeah, I almost did. He, the cripple, had a good life in the end. He got married, and also, he had a kid with the woman he was with. Well, I loved that book, just about the same as I loved all the novels I've finished. Continuing the book, "So far from the bamboo grove" is just about the same. It was very interesting at the time I was reading it for silent reading. I didn't finish it because we had to read the novel, "Mariquita" together, but now that I've continued it, I'm starting to enjoy it once more. Until next class, I hope too finish this book.

One more night of silent reading, I think....

Well, on this evening class went by a little too fast. We did silent reading after we went over the syllabus. I am trying to finish my fourth novel by Monday, then maybe get into my fifth before the ending of the semester. I am still working on my projects, poems, and also going to donate one more book as extra credit to my grade. I can't wait to present them and get my grade! I am stoked to pass and even more determined to make sure I do! So until Next week!

Nov. 7

About a week ago in class, we did some silent reading for about 40 mins. after going over some changes in the Syllabus. There were only two of us in class that attended that day, which was pretty unusual for this class especially because everyone usually comes to class. Any ways,  I have finally began to start working on my projects. I am so glad that I have. I got all the materials needed and now I have to do is put them all together and present them. Well, that is after some gluing and printing; and colouring; and other stuff that is required of course. So until the 14th of November, I will blog more about it then.

Almost done

Today in another wonderful of reading class, we did an hour of silent reading and I am almost done with one of my novels. I plan on reading another book from Dave Pelzer called "Help Yourself". The book was given to me by my mother that she got from her work in Harmon. I have many more books I look forward to reading after this novel and am even thinking of writing one. Maybe just a short story about fishing or other stuff that I do. For now, I am going to finish reading this novel during class today and start on the next novel. So until next week, I will blog more about the book then!

Continuing the book got even more interesting. I kind of wish I had a good paying job as Shem does. Although, he was tricked onto a crooks job at first, he finally found a decent work place. In that place, there are more people like himself. He kinda felt comfortable at first, but when he found out the consequences of what will happen if they conversed with each other, he was then self-cautious. He didn't want to risk his job, and most of all, he didn't want to go to jail, or worse, prosecuted. This book is wonderful so far, and I can't wait to finish it, but until I do, it'll be one novel added onto the rest of the novels I've finished reading. Well, until next class session, I hope to read with you all once again.

Last class session, I got through more pages than the time before. As I read in class, this book was getting more and more interesting. Although, I wasn't really getting into the book at first, I can honestly say, I am now. I can see a lot of improvement in my reading, but I really don't see myself passing this class. As I continued the book at home, I started to figure out who the second brother of the heart was referring to. In reality, he's not really a blood brother, but is well-respected to be one. I have half of the book left to read, so I hope I can finish it sometime, soon. Well, until next class session, I'll see you guys in class.
