Progress in Class

So far in class, we have done a lot of things, from slide shows, to storyboards, and all sorts of projects.Right now we are working on a newsletter, for our spirit week, which I'm excited and nervous about. I am in a group of 4 which means we have to do a little bit more work but that's ok.I have slipped a bit on some of my other work in class from being sick but I'm working on getting back on track, I have made up all of my old blogs, and working on other things. The newsletter is fun but it's a bit harder than I thought so I hope my group turn out ok.I have never made a newsletter before that I can remember so I'm excited to see how they all turn out.

Intellectual Goal

For an intellectual goal, I would like to work harder on my grades. Each year I seem to start off well but, then as the year goes on I start to slip up a bit and slack on my homework and projects. I would like to not procrastinate as much as I do, but everyone does it and sometimes it's it avoidable and others it's not.I think the only way for me to do that is to work ahead if I can or ask for help If i don't understand something. My goal would be to keep my grades up all year.

Emotional Goal

For an emotional goal,I think that being more attentive to people, and respecting them more is very important,especially friends and family.Since sometimes there the only people you have sometimes one more than the other,especially at our age level, when people drift and make new friends, I think it's important to respect all the friends you do have, by not spreading rumors or being there friend only when there around and not when there not around. And for family I think all kids want to do want they wanna do and don't like to listen to our parents even though they have our best interests in mind,so for my emotional goal, I want to learn how to listen more and how to treat my friends and family better.

Spiritual Goal

For my spiritual goal, I like most people would say, would like to become closer to God.I think some people including myself don't always take religion or God seriously all the time,and being catholic kinda slips our minds and we don't care,so I would like to start to try and care more about my relationship with God, and try harder at it,since it is very important to have a strong bond with God.

Saint Project

I just started my Saint Project, I have made many projects on Saints in the past but never in a slide show by myself,and not in a group so I hope when I finish it, it will be ok, but since I have used Power Point numerous amounts of times I think it will be easy. My Saint is Thomas Aquinas, I chose him because I think he's interesting,and we also just learned a little bit about him in our religion class so I already know a few things that can help me out.

Keynote Project

I just finished my keynote assignment,and I have to say, I enjoyed making it.I thought it was very cool,even though it took a while to make.I picked the song Dr. Mr. President by Pink, for my project because I think it gives good points on what is going on in the world today,and past events as well.I think the way she wrote the song was from many people's points of views on what has happened to the world in these past few years.

What I have Learned

In Ms.Perino's class I have learned alot.We got new computers this year,so they are a little bit more difficult to use since there are more applications and tools to use,but they alot more fun then the old ones.So far In class we have made spreadsheets,wrote a paper on a banned book, I chose James and The Giant Peach, because I knew of the book and the movie, and I learned the reasons of it being banned from schools.I have also learned about alternative fuel sources and there are many more than I knew of.I really enjoy this class,the projects are fun,as well as the one we just learned about, the mini movie will be a fun project.
