Homecoming Newsletter

For our homecoming newsletter we have three pages. The first page has the homecoming dance article on it. The second page has the articles about twin day and the Notre Dame spirit day. Along with these two articles we have a picture of Mo Smith and taylor Vukov as twins. On the third page is the article of the game. Whooohoooo, we won!!! A collage pictures of the homecoming dance are also on the third page. This is a short summary of the newsletter we are working on in Technology class. Mrs. Brown I am going to comment on Ana's blog.

Physical Developement

I feel as though I am physically ok and don't need to work at that hard. I plan to work out 3 days a week, the nights I don't have something else going. I run about two times a week for about a mile. Also, I do yoga, thanks to my friend Ana for introducing it to me, and sometimes I do ab workouts. Even though I am small, I believe that I have the same capacity as anyone else. This is what i think about my physical health.

Homecoming Newsletter

For the homecoming Newsletter, I am working with Sophia Hilbert and Ana Cruz. I am doing the spirit day, Ana is doing the twin day, and Sophia is doing the homecoming game. Together, we are all going to do the dance. I think that it will be hard to get 100 words out of the twin day and spirit day articles. I have found that it is hard to talk about spirit day because I don't know if I am going to be able to make 100 words out of describing people's outfits. The dance is going to be our main topic because it is the most well-known part of homecoming. These are a few of my thoughts on the homecoming newsletter project.

Mrs. Brown I am going to comment on Ana Cruz this week!!!

My Intellectual Nurturing

There are many ways that I believe that I can do tonurture my self in an intellectual way. First off, I would like to get get good grades this year. Also, I would like to do better all around, not just in my strong subjects. To accomplish these goals, I am going to study for all my tests. Not only will I study, but I will make sure that all my homework gets in to the teacher on time and so I won't have late papers. With these few little things, I believe that I can bring my grades up and nurture myself in an intellectual way.

My Emotional State

For the most part I think that my emotional state is okay, but it could use a little work. I think I should have a journal to write down all my feelings so I have a vent. it is important to vent otherwise I have no way of getting my frustrations out. My emotions occasionally get out of control. I usually get angry, frustrated, or upset with myself because I didn't handle something the correct way or I just don't know what to do about something. Other than these few little problems I believe that my emotional state is in line.

This week in our technology class we are working on a report of a saint. I chose St. Ann for the reason that ann is a family nmae and that she is the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I have chosen to do a powerpoint on her. Later, we are going to present our saints to the class. So far I am almost done with all of my six informational slides. Also, the URL slide is done and I am in he process of making the title slide. at this point in time I am doing the background colors, the font, the transitions and the font colors. Many of these things I have done at school, but I have also worked on this project at home. I am really happy at how this project is going!!!!

Goal on Spiritual Development

I plan to nurture my spirtual development through listening to my religion teacher and following the examples that I see and hear about in the bible. Also, I would pray often and go to mass as often as possible. Not only would I do all these things, but I think it might also be helpful to have a journal to be organized and to write down my feelings. I think all of these might help me to reach my goal of furthering my spiritual development.

Computer Class

In our technology class, we are now working on a storyboard. This application is like powerpoint on a Mac. What you do is pick a song, then type the lyrics onto the slides. Then find pictures to symbolize the words. Later on we will go into iMovie and we will make a movie. We will add transitions and audio so that the pictures, words, and the audio will all go at the same time. I hope I am going to complete this project by the September, which is when it is due.

Welcome!! I have created this blog for my high school technology class to learn about online communities. So far I think that this class has been challenging. We recently purchased Macs and so it takes a little bit of time to adjust. The class seems to be going a bit to fast. I feel that I am having trouble keeping up on all the assignments. I hope the class gets easier as I learn to navigate around a Mac.
