Fourth Quarter Goals.

My greatest accomplishment of last quarter was getting to know how to work computers. What I did to achieve it was working on the computer and asking for help all the time. My goal for this quarter is to stay on task and ask for all the help I need. I will try not to miss any homework assaments.I will listen to Miss Priester and do everything she tells me to do. My top goal for fourth quarter is to get an A+ for my grade in miss Priester. I really hope I get better on working on computers then I am now.

JFK Timeline

"American History" Narrative

My name is Elena and I live in the tenement known as El Building with other Puerto Rican families. I go to Public School Number 13, where I get made fun of by the other girls for being skinny.  I spend a lot of time watching the house next door where Eugene moved in.  We both enjoyed reading, and I immediately liked him.  We used to go to the library to pick out books and walk home after school together.  We were both made fun of, being called “Skinny Bones and the Hick.”  One day, we were given extra time for PE and didn’t know why. Our PE teacher came out in tears, telling us that Kennedy was shot.  We were sent home an hour early.  That same day, Eugene asked me to study for a history test.  I decided to still go, but my mother said she wanted me to stay home out of respect for Kennedy’s death.  I went over Eugene’s house, his mother turned me away because I lived in El Building.  I was deeply saddened and went home crying.

What I Learned in the Third Quarter of English 9/10

What I learned in the third quarter is how to work on computers. I'm not really good with computer. This is my first time working  with computers. I learned  how to make a google account and how to sign into my blogger. I learn how to do all my school work on  the computer. I learn primary sources and secondary sources. For example, a primary source might be TV reporter at a site of a firer. A secondary source is when some one tells something that they heard from  someone else.

Most Memorable Day


When I went to boot camp it was really scary because I was just six years old. It was scary. The camp lasted five weeks. I had to take showers with thirteen other boys. The drill sergeants yelled at me all the time. Then we had to go in the mud pit. I had to crawl in the mud.  It was cold and on top of that they sprayed me with the hose. We also had to wake up very early in the morning. We had to run to the ocean, and jump in the really cold water. We got out, then rolled around in the dirt. We had to do this over again. We had to jog back to the base. We took a shower and then our parents picked us up. It was horrible!
