Campus Life Third-Person Paragraph


 What I do to get ready for school in the morning is turn on my computer and listen too music too wake me up.  I take shower at the night for I can have more time to sleep in the morning. I wake up at 7:30 most of the time and get change and wash my face. Then I brush my teeth after all that. I go to the cafe to eat breakfast before school starts. For half of the day were in school that's what I do most of the day. If I don;t eat breakfast I will starve all day.  How lunchtime in the cafĂ© works. You get Your food then you sit down with your friends and eat and hang out. After lunch we go back to school. Then we go to 4 threw 6 period. Then we go home and chill for a little. Then we can go out side and hang out. How dinner hour works in your house  is the the hole house has too sit next to each other. If  you  don't won't to eat you  have sit at the table for five  minutes. That's what I usually do every day.

CST Testing Reflection

The CST was alright, but it wasn’t really fun. I tried my hardest on the tests. It was cool because you got to eat in class during the test. Some people were really fast about taking the test. I took all the time in the world. I felt really happy when the test was over. It was cool because our teachers gave us breaks and we got to rest in class. I am really happy that we don’t have to take anymore tests.

Testing Tips, Strategies, and Plays Reflection

I feel happy but okay about the CST. I think I'm going to do okay. I know lots of tips about taking tests like crossing out answers that don't make sense. I will look over all of my answers before turning in my tests. I should focus on my tests only, and I really should not sit next to any of my friends because I would get really distracted. I'm really glad they're going to feed us in class before the test. I always go to sleep early before taking a test. It would be nice if the teachers wouldn't give us homework because we're testing and that would be really nice of the teachers. I am really looking forward to taking these tests.

My Feelings about the Upcoming CSTs

I feel really good about the CSTs. I really hope I do well on the CST. I am hoping that the testing will go by quickly because sometimes I guess when something is really long. What I should do before testing is get a good night's sleep and eat a good breakfast. I would like it if they let us eat snacks during the test. What helps me stay on task is when I'm listening to music and chewing gum. In the past I guessed on this test but now I will try my hardest. I don't really know where they're going to put us during testing. I hope they don't put me next to my friend because I will get of track and then I will get a bad score on the test. I hope during the test we could take a break because I know I can't sit down for that long. I think am going to do alright on this test.

My UnGoogleable Research for an Eight-Year Old

I am writing about football players and coaches and how they get paid.  The first part of my paper is about the money that football players in the NFL are making for playing. I would be talking about the different positions and skills.  Another part of my paper is about NFL coaches and the money they get from coaching the teams. The coaches get more money than the players because of what they know. The last part of my paper is about the things that make up how these people are paid.  Their ability to convince the teams’ owners to pay them more is part of how they are paid.  My topic is important because people should learn about why and how players and coaches are paid and what makes the NFL different from other sports groups.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Highlighting Reflection

Reading and highlighting the sources helped me to take notes by saving the information. I learned how to find good websites for my paper and to use my highlighting as notes. I can break my information into three sections. One section is about the salaries of NFL players. Another section is the pay for NFL coaches. The third section is what positions are paid the most. My next step to write a research paper should be to put my information in order by topic.

UnGoogleable Research Paper Website Selection Reflection

Today in class, I looked at different websites that could help me with my research paper. To search for websites, I used Sweet Search, IPL2, and Google’s Wonder Wheel and Timeline. When I found a website related to my focus question, I made sure it had a title, an author, and a date. I knew some of the websites I found were unacceptable because they didn’t have authors or dates, had a lot of advertisements, and did not tell where the information came from. I know the websites I selected are good because it told me how much NFL players and coaches were paid. Tomorrow, I expect that Ms. Priester will tell me to write an outline about what my paper will be about.

UnGoogleable Research – What I Already Know

My focus question is "Do NFL players deserve to be paid millions of dollars". I think NFL player should get paid lots of money because they play football in front of millions of people that pay lots of money to watch them. I already know that NFL players work there butts off to be in the NFL. So that's why they should get paid lots of money. I also know that people pay lots of money to watch them play football. Additionally they earn to play the sport football. By doing research, I hope to learn why NFL players get lots of money.

UnGoogleable Research Paper – Website Evaluation Tips

I asked three people about what makes a website a good resource to help me when I need them in my research. First, I asked Jared S.  He told me that a good website cites professional resources and has professional answers. I also asked Ms. Amonette, and she told me that a good resource is reputable (has a good reputation). The other adult I asked was Ms. Ursprung.  She said that a good resource has a good academic background and uses sources related to the topic. The advice given to me will help in writing a better research paper so I can find resources that are more educational.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection

On Monday, I went to the front of the school and waited for everybody else to come. We went to Kit Carson park for a scavenger hunt and had lunch there. When we came back from the park, we started games with the whole school. They put me in Group 5, and we started the rotation. I first went to the gym. It was fun because we were playing capture the flag and I saw a lot of people that I had never met before. Then after that we went to the field and played a game that involved using water. My team went to the softball field for our last activity and played baseball. It was lots of fun. I like this day because we all got to bond with friends meet people that we didn't even know.
