Final Blog Exams

This is my final exams question for my blog for Mrs. Kallas!

8 things to look for in today's classroom questions!

• The only points that I'm more familiar is 1, 5, and 6. The reason why is everybody have their own opinions and think logical. For me. I'm more comfortable on this points because I typically think logical and say what's my opinions and not everybody doesn't have to like my opinions.

• The points that I may be lest familiar is reflection.

Future Classroom Questions

• For the next 10 years inside of my own classroom and education is 1, 5, and 6. The reason why I will use these points is because everybody will have their own opinions. This, points that I can use, is use it for group/individual projects. Why would I use this points? So everybody have their own voice and thinking style. That is my answer to both questions.

 That's it for the final blog! Since's my final blog post, thank you for reading my blog and I wish you viewers enjoy the summer of 2015! Thank you for enjoying my blog!

Thank you my teacher!

Dear Mr. Love,

           Hi Mr. Love! Thank you for all the hard work that you have been teaching! I remembered when I first walked in your classroom, I enjoyed your teaching style because you made history fun! I remembered that we used to tense each other during 4th period! You knew that I was taking education class and I'm still doing education training as a year 2! 

          As a intern for education, I see you as a passion teacher, always ready to teach and I hope you keep that passion of teaching! And for that, I'm influenced by your passion!

         Thank you for being my teacher and keep on giving passion for your students!

Bills to bypass Exams? OKAY!

Do you think we're able to graduate by not being able to pass the end-of-the-course test?

      According to the article, I think it could benefit for all Seniors who are graduating this year like myself! Think about it. How many people who have struggle to pass the exams? Hard right? 

     People who kept retaking end of the course exam had failed and feel stressed. It's not fair for people who had failed the exams and it feel more stressed. It's like teachers who had expectation on their students to do well. Honestly, in order to do well on the exams, it depend on how the teacher teaches and how students learns.

     What if one of the students have a learning disability?

     It's not like when the teacher just say, "oh here you go and do well on the exam!" and give you the exams. In my opinion, in order to feel less stressed, it would depend on how well you do on your report cards and attendances. At least it would be easier for all seniors and up-coming seniors too as well. 

     BUT! If the bills pass the law, and students who failed the end of the course can graduate by passing classes, attending school or accepting college can benefit them. I think it could affect economics little bit but I'm pretty sure that all seniors want to graduate and leave high school to become adulthood.

 What's your opinion on this topic? Should we graduate by passing end of the course exams or pass our grades, attendance or accepting college?

Thank you for reading my blog!

How do you Measure up?

This blog is only for my teacher's blog, so I will be discussing about my lesson at my Field Site.


Question 1:

Yes, I did get my grade and my lesson skills had improved. I asked their opinion about the activity from the book I bought from the book fair at their elementary school. My mentor teacher told me to look up from the website from Pintrest for ideas and this website is the best place to get ideas!

Question 2:

They told me one comment; "Work first, play later."

Question 3:

I would like to work on my English area because I want to improve my grammars and spelling.

New Years Resolutions

Happy New Years!

          Hello everybody! Since it's 2015 already and I know most of you guys already have resolutions for this year and planning to follow your resolutions, here's my resolutions for this year! This topic is from my teacher's blog.

Number #1:

           I will organize my tub and my backpack better every months until Graduation. (Or for the rest of my life until death do us part.)

Number #2:

           I will improve my Economics (or Government) test grades by studying 30 minutes everyday until Graduation.

Number #3!

          This is the last part and I'm pretty sure it's most common for resolution.

                                                

                      

                        LOSE WEIGHT.    

           

             I will lose 10 pound before prom and graduation by working out for a hour, eat healthy food and drink water everyday.

           That's all for my resolutions and good luck for your resolutions!

Mythbusters Field Trip

11/17/14

    Hello teachers from all over the world! Today's post will be about my recent field trip to the Museum for a Mythbusters Exhibit! Does everybody know the show called Mythbusters? I don't watch their show but I heard that they test pretty crazy stuff! So let's get started! By the for more activities, you can click this link right here! Just click on "Link".

    When I was Mythbuster Exhibit, there was so many hand-on activities for us to try out! There are some of the activities that I did was the "Tablecloth Chaos" and "Dodge a bullet". Personally, those activities are my favorites and I really enjoyed it. It went really well for the field trip! Now the bad part... It would be better if the cafeteria allows us to eat inside since some of the students already took over the table outside. They told us that if we want to eat inside, we have to buy something from the cafeteria. We had no choice but to buy something from the cafeteria. At least it went well for the field trip!

        What is Tablecloth Chaos?  
                An experiment that requires speed, so the materials for the experiment is a table cloth and some dishes (or plastic if you prefer). The goal for the Tablecloth Chaos is you have to pull fast as you can in order to avoid getting your dishes broken. So I'm pretty sure you guys are thinking that if you pull slowly, it will not break or fall. Right? It does sound easy! WRONG.  So all you have to do is pull the tablecloth in ONE SHOT! Also, please don't use the glass or try it at home.

        What's a Dodge a bullet?
                Another experiment is how quick you react and no, there wasn't no bullet. It was only the sound of the gunshot and the flash. There was a machine with a big timer and a small light. All you have to do is press the button, stand at wall while facing the machine with a flash and the timer and watch for the flash. The timer starts as soon as the light flashed and you have to move quickly (Depending on how long your reaction) and it stop as you move away.

        What's Wind or Rain?
         There was the third activity that I tried but I can't remember the name. But There was a box and there was water dripping. There was two sides: the fast side and the slow side. I took the fast side and went around the box. When I went out of the box, there was two mirror and 2 dark mirror. I'm not sure what to call the 2 dark mirror but it was glowing little bit. All I did was run in the raining box and came out little bit wet but it was actually fun!

         That's all for my post! See you next time!
                     BYE~!

MIRROR MIRROR REFLECTION

       Good Morning Educators! Recently I attended to my TAFE Region competition and my experience in TAFE Region was really awesome! Today, my teacher posted her blog and asked us about our reflection. So in respond for my teacher, here is my answer.

Question number 1:
     I completed for TAFE Moment.

Question number 2:
        For my planning process, when I first got myself started for my TAFE Moment,  all I did was to type about my experiences from last year as a first year TAFE. At first, I wasn't sure about the topic and the rules for TAFE Moment so I had the opportunity to ask my teacher since she knew more about TAFE Region more than me. When I asked to my teacher, she gave me some advises and gave me the TAFE magazines and there was TAFE Moments section in the magazines so I took her advise and read the magazines. After I finished reading, I thought about typing about my background story so I made some changes and showed my TAFE Moment draft to my teacher. My teacher told me to get to more detail about what was the moment when I first decided about becoming a educator. I had to make changes and showed to my teacher and she approved my TAFE Moment.

Question number 3:
       My TAFE Moment presentation was wonderful! I think I could possible advance to the state! I hope I can win my TAFE Moment!

Question number 4: 
      What I learned from my experience was when I was working for my TAFE moment, I looked back about the day I decided that I want to become a teacher. I could barely recall my memory and I was able to remember little bit. Also, I checked my grammar skills couple times and my grammar skills got better!

Question number 5:
     I'll give myself 97.

Question number 6:
      If I got the chance to advance the state, I would include some of my experience for my TAFE Moment and I would tell my presentation from my heart.
