2nd Quarter Reflection

In this Quarter we have learned so much through out this year since now it is 2017. From Quarter two I have learned so many different words, like words that I never heard or even seen before from last quarter. Also through out the second quarter we have been focusing on a lot about reading lots of books. We are actually doing this challenge called the 20 book challenge which is about you set yourself on this challenge on how many books you can read and so far I only had read about six books. One of my favorite books was about Albert Enistein and I got to read and know a lot about his life of when he was younger and how he became this really smart guy when he got older.

One thing that has been challenging in this quarter was trying to do my homework on time and also complete my IXL goals. It was challenging because I also had other homework to do in other classes so I never had enough time to do my homework all at the same time. Some thing that I kind of improved was getting a little better with my writing and everything else still might be a struggle for me. Some things that I could improve to help myself get through 3rd quarter is by focusing more on class and not space out. Also get my work done with the time I have left in class.

In my blogs I think I have gotten a little bit better on my writing but I think I still need a little bit of work.  In August I think it was a little bit hard because I didn't really know how to do things because we were barely coming back from break and I mostly forgot about everything which is not good. So I have improving a little as the months go by. From my blogs I still have a little trouble uploading pictures to my writing. I will say that it was a lot easier to have our laptops with us because we were able to do more things and complete things on time without any trouble. It is sad that they took our laptops away because with our blogs we didn't have any trouble uploading certain things. We had files that we could be organized and well now it is a little bit harder since now we have iPads.

Anyways other things that had happen in quater two is that we have been focusing on lot about reasearch skills I would say researching things online may not be easy at some times. There a lot of websites that tell you different things on different subjects and sometimes the websites don't always give you the best information. I say that online researching can give good information if you know the best websites to search up. After all second quarter was good I have learned new things and know a lot more things but excited to know what we learn next for third quarter.

Book Talk

The book that I am reading is called  " Dear Diary I am dead" by R.L. Stine and the genre is fiction. In this book it talks about a kid named Alex, he is that kid who doesn't do well in school and he gets bad grades all the time. In the book he has two friends Shawn and Chip these are Alex best friends. In the book Alex always makes bets with the other children in his school because he likes to make money all the time because he thinks he could win. He makes a lot of bets with this girl named Tessa who is way better then him she always gets good grades and she never loses a bet against Alex.

Until one day Alex made a bet with Tessa about who can make their own diary the best on ever and who ever would win, would get hundred dollars. They made it a deal between both of them. When Alex comes back from school he sees his mom all excited and that shocks him. His mom graves him by the hand and takes him upstairs to his room and he receives a cool gift that his mom gave him it is very old and antique gift. When Alex first saw the gift he was speechless. His mom was so happy. Alex went to go check it out and from the gift he found a cool book that looked very old and he saw, that there were no words in it so he would use the journal for his diary to write in. He wrote on the first page about his day. When he was finished writing he was very surprised about what he wrote. After writing in the journal Alex flips through the pages and when he flips through the pages you won't believe what he sees it was another entry for tomorrow day he could not believe it. When he first opened the book it was completely blank. Now there are new words, but who wrote them in the first place?

This book was very interesting to read about and spooky at the same time. I
liked this book a lot because it was fun to read. It was mysterious and interesting. It had a lot of great detail from the book. It also had a cool scary vibe to the book. It wasn't boring it kept you wanting to read more. I recommended this book to anyone who ever loves to read fiction books and that brings a little twist at the end.
