Monthly Posts – Trimester Three Portfolio

Hi everyone,

Today, I will be showing you my work that I feel that I am very proud of.

Social Studies – Business Project

In social studies, we have been working on business and the aspects of it. So I partnered up with Jenny and we both decided to do Root Beer and Coke Floats and Grab n’ Go. We decided to do root beer and coke because there was another team doing root beer floats, so to make more competition, we had root beer, coke, sprinkles, and whipped cream. The floats were a success, but the Grab n’ Go didn’t do as well. We almost sold out on the floats, ice cream, and whipped cream which was good. Jenny and I worked well together and I really enjoyed doing this project.

Language Arts – IXL Test: Connotation

Sometimes in Language Arts, we have surprise tests. The tests are timed and we have about 15-20 minutes and the IXL is based on what we have been learning. So we have to accomplish as much as we can during the period of time. So this time, I got 100%. Plus this is graded, but it’s not worth too much. I was proud of myself because I got 100% within like 15ish minutes. The IXL was based on positive and negative connotations. Basically, you have two choices and you choose which one is positive or negative. Once you get higher, there are three choices. So I got an A for the test and I felt proud. (Once you master the level, you get a medal, and you can restart to get another medal)

Math – SSAT Basic Geometry Set 4 out of 4 Test

This was an SSAT test and it’s graded work. I was proud because I got a B- on the test, even though it’s worth 1.67% of my grade, I was still proud of myself. We were able to use notes, so I feel that my notes helped me get a B- because, without out those notes, I don’t think I would’ve done the best. I was proud of myself because this actually counted as my grade, and I did a pretty good job considering it’s an SSAT skill. This was set 4 out of the 4 sets that were given. The first three were practice and some were homework. There are 20 questions and some are word problems and some are just questions.

Monthly Posts – My Weekend

Hi everyone,

Today is another monthly post and I will be talking about my past weekend. Now it was interesting because I had to do some X-rays. No, I didn’t break a bone or anything like that (but I fractured my collar bone in 4th grade) but it was for my teeth. Now, this takes place on Saturday. I had to wake up early because we had to drop my aunty at work. Then we got breakfast. I got an Acai Bowl from Lanikai Juice. It was really good and I usually get the Da Classic with extra honey. Then I felt really hungry and craved pancakes too. So we went to McDonald’s to get pancakes. Then we had to go home and eat. After that, we just watched some T.V. and then we had to leave. I had to go to Ala Moana because I had to take X-rays.

The reason is that I am getting braces! I know I shouldn’t be excited because I will regret it but I’m so happy to make sure that I am getting the proper care for my teeth. I have an overbite, which is most normal in cases, but it’s a little too over. So my soon to be orthodontist recommended this place. But we had some time to kill before the appointment. So we walked around and looked at a few shops. Time flew and we had to go already, but it started to drizzle. So we speed walked to the building. Once we got there, we had to fill out some forms. Then I went into this room. It had like a machine that takes a full 360Β° around my head. I also had to do one more like scan. So I sat in this chair and I went backward. Then the lady put this like light and scanned my teeth.

What was really cool was that you could see my teeth and what they look like. Once I was done, then we went back to Ala Moana. Prior to the appointment, I went into Hollister. While I was in the store, I saw this really cute mustard yellow T-shirt with like a cactus and the word Hollister. So I got that and then I decided to look in the clearance area to see if there was anything good and worth it. I found this long-sleeved shirt with like a tie-dye design. It was blue and like a light pink. After we went home we stayed for a couple of hours and then picked up my aunty. After she was picked up, we went to my cousin’s house. I was excited because I just saw her on Friday and now I get to see her again. We ate and played around for a least a good 4-5 hours. My weekend was so fun, I wish I could do this every time.

Monthly Posts – School is Almost Over

Hi everyone,

So school is almost over. We end on May 23, 2019, and we started on August 8, 2018. We will graduate in 2020. That’s in like two weeks. The eighth graders on their trip to Japan, and I wish I could go now and miss some school. But they come back right before school ends. This year went by so fast, it is kind of hard to picture the first day of school and now the last. This year wasn’t always the best. We had some ups and some downs, but I’m glad that at least we got past that. There are still some issues like I guess you would say segregation between the class. Whenever we are allowed to pick seats in class, the girls sit together on one side and the boys sit on the other side. But things are getting better.

I can’t believe that we are going to be in eighth grade and going into high school. I remember the first day of sixth grade and seventh grade. I feel that we should’ve been closer as a class because now I guess we are kind of doing it at the wrong time. School is ending and now we are become “one”. I think it’s kind of late but at least things are getting better. This year just raced by and I remember when the twins and Kailey would sit on the same table every day. When Jenny and I made a little world in a jar. It was in science class and we put dirt and plants and rocks. We had a big rock and we put it somewhere and we couldn’t find it the next day.

We have so many memories as a class, I wish we could restart and redo this past year. This year was fun because as seventh graders, we water the gardens. We take care of the gardens and well, we garden. Not too long ago like last month, we did our first gardening job. We signed up to do certain things around the garden. We help take care of the garden because it was sort of dying. We did an animal like donation last week. We were assigned a classroom and we gave them a poster to give them an idea on what they would like to donate. Then we picked the items up. All of the donations go to the Hawaiian Human Society.Β We have some donations and it feels great to donate to animals in need. This year was a memorable year and it was a blast.
