My first few days of school...
Hello -
Well, I said I would update yesterday, but I never got around to it because of going to Staples to get school supplies. I am going to post all that stuff today.
Tuesday:
Pd 1: Physics
We did the boring syllabus stuff, and then started on a lab of sorts, doing various physics activities.
Pd 3: Flex Period
I stayed in 1st and then went to 2nd period. In both of those classes there was a first day video, first a message from the principal, and second a very boring message about the new schedule this year, which I already know (what would have been helpful is times!!). However, my first period teacher's TV wasn't working so we had to go across the hall.
Pd 5: English
We did the boring syllabus stuff, basically, and then somehow my class started talking about college football (my teacher is a college football fanatic).
Pd 7: Choir
We basically just went through the handbook and got our forms. We also got our first piece of music but didn't get to work on it at all.
Wednesday:
Pd 2: History
We did the boring syllabus stuff, and then my teacher asked us questions about history to see what we knew. One of the questions was "What were the years in which the civil war was fought?" One kid said the 1790s - I almost laughed out loud. When I asked one of my friends at lunch later that day, he said the 1860s, so at least he was in the right decade! The other person wasn't even in the right century!!!
Pd 4: Web Page Development
We did the boring syllabus stuff, and then a getting to know you game. However, the game wasn't very effective because we just went around switching papers without actually saying anything to the people. Oh, by the way, that class is mostly guys, which stinks because of the girls in there I don't know any.
Pd 6: Spanish III
We started off class with stating we were present (in Spanish) and then saying a sentence from a picture on the overhead screen. We then got in groups with the people we were sitting around to brainstorm words in a category, and then write 5 sentences using those words. After lunch my teacher rushed through the syllabus stuff. That was the only class in which I had real homework on the first day of school.
Pd 8: Honors Algebra II
We did the basic boring syllabus stuff, and then went over our summer packet. Our homework was to study for the test we have tomorrow on the summer packet. I don't know how I'll do on that - I'll let you know as soon as I know.
Today (Thursday):
Pd 1: Physics
My teacher talked about physics, and then collected our forms. We then spent the rest of the class period finishing up what we started on Tuesday and then talking about it.
Pd 7: Choir
We turned in our forms, and then got another piece of music for our District Choir auditions. We then worked on the song that we got Tuesday.
Pd 5: English
We first went and got our school pics taken. I don't know how mine will turn out, but I hope they are good. When we got back to the classroom, my teacher collected our syllabus form. We then played an icebreaker game/contest. My teacher asked us questions, and then in our groups of 6 we counted up how many siblings, etc. the group had collectively. There were 10 questions.
Pd 3: Flex Period
I first went to 4th period, and then was dismissed to a pep rally. I didn't want to go, but had to because I wouldn't have had any time to plan to go to the library or go home. It wasn't even a football/band pep rally, more of a class pep rally. Even though I am a junior, I have never gone to a pep rally before becuase I knew they were going to be loud, and I am uncomfortable in those situations.
In case you noticed and were confused (like me) the school switched 7th and 3rd periods today so that the pep rally could be at the end of the day. Sorry about droning on. Wish me luck on my test tomorrow!
