Art and Choice Elective Costume Design

February 15, 2018February 25, 2018 hmsshayann

Hey, guys, it’s me hmsshayann and today I will be talking about Art and a choice elective that I have which Costume Design.

So this year, in art class, we get to do a project called Beauty of Hawaii. I was so excited to do this project because we can paint/draw anything that has to do with the Beauty of Hawaii. I decided to Waikiki Beach at night. It includes Diamond Head, sandy area, the water, and the shoreline. I was kind of excited to see what it would look like in the end. I included 2 dolphins and 2 surfers. Also, my sky was a dark ombre effect so was the ocean. I was proud of my art and I will never forget the Beauty of Hawaii.

For choice electives for trimester 2, I got Costume Design. I was excited because I can learn how to sew. It was even better because all the projects we are doing is for the play that is happening at my school, Cinderella. So we get to learn how to sew, iron, and more! It is so much fun because we get to make costumes for the actors in the play. And our teacher asked us if we wanted to help backstage. It would be so cool! But this Friday, it will be our last class for trimester 2, that means that we will have another choice elective. It was so much fun!

Until then, bye

Core Classes – Social Studies

February 10, 2018February 13, 2018 hmsshayann

Hey guys, it’s me hmsshayann, and today I will be talking about another core class which is Social Studies.

So this past week, we are learning about Ancient Japan. I think it is super cool to learn about Ancient Japan because I am a bit Japanese and I take a Japanese class after school. I find this section we are studying is super cool because we can learn about things that make up Japan today. But we have to figure out how Japan became Japan by studying about Ancient Japan. It can help us figure out things like for example, Taiko. I am doing a slide show about taiko. I am very excited to do Taiko because, in school, my class has to do Taiko Basics. It is very fun and we get to learn new patterns and more. I can’t wait to figure out what the other things that my classmates research about so I can learn more things about Japan and how it became the Japan we know today. I can’t wait to learn much more about Ancient Japan.

Until then, bye

Choice Electives – Community Service

February 9, 2018February 13, 2018 hmsshayann

Hey guys, it’s me hmsshayann, today I am excited to talk about the first choice elective I had.

So the first elective the I had was Community Service. I was a fun experience in this choice elective because me and the other’s got to take charge and plan some exciting events that will happen later on in the year. We got to even plan a game that will support Make-A-Wish Hawaii. It was in my other blog Quarter Games. I was so excited because we got to figure out what will happen later on in the year. I was happy because we got to see what Make-A-Wish Hawaii it was so cool. All the people who were at Make-A-Wish Hawaii were so nice and it was an amazing experience. We got to make posters for the Quarter Games and it was fun to make posters. I think that Community Service is a great thing to be a part of because you can help others out when it is needed and I think it is good to help others. I hope that I can do something like this again.

Until then, bye

Weekly Post #7 – Making a Movie in Japanese Class

January 30, 2018February 3, 2018 hmsshayann

Hey guys, it’s me hmsshayann here,

I’m so excited for the movie that I will be making with classmates in Japanese class. It’s about a mysterious killer on the loose and she is one that we will never guess. It’s so much fun because the class got to decide how the movie/story was going to start and end.

I was super excited because we get to talk in Japanese. It might take a little while to speak in fluent Japanese even though we take that class. I think it would be fun because we are speaking in Japanese and we get to act out our character.

It is interesting because there is a killer on the loose and is closer than we think. I think people who will watch it might think it is funny because there silly twists that happen during the story. There is even a dog in this story. But don’t worry, it is just a regular boy acting like a dog. Can’t wait until we get to finish the movie!

Do you think the bad guy will get away or get caught?

Weekly Post #6 – Quarter Games 😀

January 25, 2018February 3, 2018 hmsshayann

Hey guys, it’s me hmsshayann,

Today I will be talking about what is going on at that is very exciting. It’s called the Quarter Games! It will last for 2 weeks starting from January 22 – February 2. There is an assortment of colored milk jugs that are labeled with each grade level/ faculty and staff members. it goes from Preschool – 8th grade/Faculty and Staff. So you could put in a quarter and that would equal +25 points, while a penny would equal -1 point. Same thing for the nickel -5, dime -10, and $1 would be -100 points. You can put in 5, 10, 20 dollar bills too.

All of the donations will go to Make-A-Wish Foundation. It is a special place where kids who have disabilities can have their wishes come true. I think it is very sad, but Make-A-Wish helps make those who have wonderful dreams/wishes come true. So this donation from the Quarter Games will help those kids make the wish come true. It would put an amazing smile on their faces to get their wish come true.

This past year, we have choice electives and I got buddy class and community service group. We each have different choice electives while there is more than one person who can have the same choice elective. My classmates and I got the chance to go to Make-A-Wish in Downtown, it was amazing! I was so grateful to have the opportunity to go there. All of the workers there were so nice and amazing. We even got to sit in comfy chairs in a meeting room. It was an amazing experience and I will never forget about it.

Which grade level do you think will win?

My 2018 New Year’s Resolution!

January 14, 2018January 16, 2018 hmsshayann

Hey, it’s me hmsshayann,

Happy 2018 everyone! 2017 went by so fast. So resolutions for me are hard to keep, how about you guys? Is it easy to keep your resolutions? Anyways, I will be talking about the steps that will help me reach my resolution.

My resolution is to get better grades in all classes (mainly in math).

These are my steps to keep me on track to reach my resolution.

After I get the work and I do it with some help and I still don’t get it, I will ask questions and get help from the teacher.https://media.defense.gov/2017/Apr/05/2001727086/780/780/0/170130-Z-ZA470-033.JPG
I should take a math class on the weekends so I can get even more help/practice.https://media.defense.gov/2008/Nov/21/2000659994/780/780/0/081105-F-1426K-028.JPG
I’ll study every day once I know when the test/quiz will be on. That way I’ll be prepared for the day of the test/quiz.
