Testing.....

I know that a lot of schools including mine are going to start testing for the state soon. So I want to wish you good luck. Take your time. Eat a good breakfast. Sleep well. But most importantly, make sure you make your teachers look good. If you don't do well on testing your teachers will get in trouble. You might not like your teachers but I'm pretty sure you don't want them to get in trouble or possible be fired. Another thing is that if you do well, you might get the something you really want. That's what my parents do and it is a huge motivation for every time I test. So Good luck!!!

The Coolest Twist-Up Ever

In my gifted class, we were talking about twist-up sayings.

Original sayings Examples:

1.Curiosity killed the cat.
2.When life gives you lemons make lemonade.


Twisted up sayings:

Curiosity killed the cat, the cat chased the mouse, the mouse jumped off a cliff, the cat followed, the mouse didn't have a life. But the cat had a life.

When life gives lemons make lemonade, then pur it on the person that gave lemons since you originally asked for oranges.



Call and responses:

1. You are crazy.
2. You took the words right out of my mouth.
3. You are weird

Responses:
1. No, I'm not because my mother had me tested.
2. I can't physically take the words out of my mouth.
3. I'm not weird, I'm gifted

Band: Good or Bad

Band

Music is the most interesting, unique, thing in the world. I love it but making it is a totally different story. I hate band class. It is the most unproductive thing I have ever been in. I hate my instrument and practicing it. I play the french horn. It is considered the most difficult instrument. I made a promise with myself that I would I would keep it until 8th grade. I must have really tried to keep that promise because this year I was faced with the choice to keep it or get rid of it. I couldn't make the decision and ended up with it for another long year. Why you are probably asking yourself did I keep it? I think that I kept it because if I kept it longer I probably would be able to enjoy more as I got better.

Welcome back!

Hey! I'm sorry I haven't been recently posting I have been so busy! We are back in school and wishing that it is already over. Teachers are giving us too much homework and we are just sliding by to get that passing grade. We are remembering the summer like it was just yesterday. I had one of the best summers and being back in school makes me feel terrible. What are some of the things that you did over the summer?

Everyday Life:Best Friends

What is a best friend? I person you can share secrets with! The person you can share your goals and accomplishments with! Someone you can count at any time! Not all of us out there are this all of the time! But a best friend is something you don't have to have so don't take it for granted.
