Field Trip : Camp MacLean in 7th grade

  

Camp MacLean :

   We went here in 7th grade and it was lots of fun. We went fishing, and I caught 1 fish myself. I shared a cabin with my friend Dhanvi and some other girls in my grade. We want rock climbing and it was very high. The most funniest moment was when we were playing capture the flag in the evening because it was very dark out and Ethan was wearing this hoodie that covered his face and it was like a alien face and Mariah and I got freaked out and screamed, when we turned around. We also went to a campfire and roasted marshmallows, and we walked a lot that night. It was so much fun and it was one of the best field trips ever. I can't wait to go again this year. 

Blog - Diary Entry

September 8th, 2015 

Dear Diary, 

        We were on our way to Virtuoso Performing Arts to try out a free dance class to see what it's like and if it's a place that I want to dance at. We walked into the building, and walked down the hallway to find the part of the building with Virtuoso Performing Arts.

 It was so decorative and very creative looking. There was a silver sign that read "VPA" and there was a whole section that showed all the dance, music, and acting teachers who work at VPA.

 My mom and I got a tour of the place and saw the dance studios and music rooms. Then, I walked into the ballet class that I was trying out. It was amazing, the dance studios were so nice looking, the teachers were very professional, and everyone looked like serious dancers, just like me. 

I was at the ballet barre, and was trying my best to stay along and do all the correct positions, arm and leg movements and look confident. I was nervous at first, but once we started they told us they are separating us into two different ballet levels, I knew I had to stop being nervous and be confident. I tried my best and it worked because when the class was over, my mom said the teacher came to her and said that I was doing very good.

Next week I joined the class and decided to stay at Virtuoso Performing Arts for dance. I successfully made it to level 2 and 3 for ballet. So, this year I'm doing strictly ballet ( levels 2 and 3 ). 

















     

Quotation Blog

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.”  

This quotation is from the book " Daniel's Story " and is said by a character named " Erika ".

This quotation reminds me of the movie " Titanic ".

The movie " Titanic " is about an UN-sinkable boat that hits an ice berg and sinks with thousands of passengers with few life boats on board. The women and children might get on a life boat, they might die from the coldness, they might die and drown on the Titanic ,and they could survive on a life boat. Once the passengers were warned that the boat will sink, they all wanted to live and they all could die or commit suicide. But, everyone on this boat knows that if they die, it was not their fault that it sunk. Also, the quotation says " And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love ", shows that some passengers on the boat might have to split up to be able to get on a life boat, some might decide to not even try and stay in their room on the Titanic and die together on the sinking boat, and some families might stay on board with their husband or father because men and woman were the only ones allowed to go on life boats first. They all chose love and died ( or survived ) knowing that it was not their fault.

Free Topic : Cheerleading

Cheer leading at Golf Middle School has been a blast ! I love cheering at the games with my friends, stunting, and doing the half time routine. It's been such a great experience and has improved my technique. My toe-touch jumps are really improving and so is my stunting. Recently, our practice back on Wednesday was amazing because we finally did a perfect and clean stunt. I was the flyer, and Iv'e loved being the flyer because I am very light and I think it's fun being the flyer and being brave enough to stand on people's hands and get pushed into the air, and finally cradle by getting down. All the other schools seem to have matching shoes for example and have very clean and loud cheers, and I personally feel like our team is different in a special way. We might not have matching white shoes or perfect gymnasts on our team or the best uniforms, but I think we are the special ones. We are the ones that don't need matching shoes or perfect loud cheers. We are special in our own way. We started out not very loud and not familiar with stunting. But in the end, we all succeed by getting more loud at doing cheers, more sharper movements, better jumps, and great stunting. I love my team and will always remember this great team. 

Thank you Ms. Wisser for a great cheerleading experience !

Guess who ? 

She doesn't act out her dances 

She tells a story 

She dances with her heart 

And not just with her feet 

She is not great because of her technique 

She is great because she dances with passion 

She was brave 

Dedicated to dancing 

Strong 

And an important dancer in the 20th century. 

She is the one and only

Meiosis

In my science class, we have been recently learning about Meiosis. We did this very creative project in science class, where we cut strips of papers to use as chromosomes and did the process of Meiosis with them. As a result, we get a baby from those chromosomes. 

During this project, we use a graph to mark the genotypes and then find the phenotype to match the genes. 

We then draw our baby using the traits ( phenotypes ) that we found while using the genotypes. 

The traits of our baby :                                                    

  
              
Square head 
2 fingers
3 toes 
knobby knees 
square eyes 
pig nose 
big belly 
long arms 
fat lips 
eye lashes 
little ears 
short neck 
small feet 
long hair 
big thumb
eyebrows 
straight hair 
no horns 
tail 
no halo 

My Food Blog

Golden Corral 

 My favorite restaurant is " Golden Corral ". It's a Buffet that is located in Illinois near Keylime Cove. I went there for lunch with Remi after we went to Keylime cove together during the beginning of summer. 

Remi and I ate a lot and had a great time there. There was a Chocolate Fountain, an ice cream machine, carrot cake, cupcakes, brownies, pizza, and etc.. 

They have an amazing selection of food at the Buffet, and it's full of delicious food. 

There were so many desserts to eat, and many new foods to try. 

It was very crowded, and the food kept coming and going really fast.
