Chum Bucket

By Ollie:   First, Ms. Nakada did attendance. Then, we read the blog and corrected it. Ms. Nakada reviewed the Jamboard and then  told us to go to our assignment, “ College Fit,” which we went over. We then talked about what colleges we would like to go to. Then, Ms. Nakada made our test for the week available. After we did the test, we were free to go.

by Robert Hello period 4! First, Ms. Nakada took attendance. Then, we read the blog and opened the Jamboard. After that, we did a small check-in in terms of how we were doing at the beginning of the school year, to now. Subsequently, we went over the quote of the week, "It takes courage to grow up and become who you are." by E.E. Cummings. Next, we went over the question of the week, "How have you changed/grown in the past three years?" After that, we listened to the song of the week, "Best Day Of My Life" by American Authors. Then, Ms. Nakada told us to head over to Schoology and to open up the assignment "College Fit." We talked about all of the things we are thinking about in attending college and then she let us go.

On Friday, we started off by reading the blog. Ms. Nakada then made sure we knew the future plans for wrapping up school for 8th graders. Then, Ms. Nakada blessed us by performing her graduation speech, which I’m sure gave many inspiration, as she slyly hid in a saying from RENT the musical. We went over the 10-year plan and how much different careers make. Finally, we took quizzes and were off to sixth period.

By Liam For class today we started out by reading the blog. We then headed over to the Jamboard and discussed the quote of the week: "Awards become corroded. Friends gather no dust" by Jesse Owens.  The question of the week was: what awards and accomplishments can you include on college/scholarship applications? Then, we listened to the song of the week, "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday" Boyz II Men.  After the song, we all listened to each others poem for the poetry slam.  Ms. Nakada then helped us with the assignment 10 year plan and that closed out the meeting.

Charlotte's Blog  In class today, we first started with attendance and talked about what we did in the eighth grade culmination Zoom meeting. After that, we went over to the Jamboard to get us ready for the test that was due after class. Once we finished with the Jamboard, we did our STAR reading tests and when we were finished we were told to do our Get Lit performances. And that’s how our day finished.

By Drew Ms. Nakada said hi to everyone. After that, we wrote down the agenda and listened to the blog. We looked at the quote of the week, "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude." Maya Angelou.  We then went into the question of the week: "What are you concerned about for high school?" A lot of people were concerned with workload, tests, new environments, and making/keeping friends. After this, we moved into the song, “See You Again” Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth.  Ms. Nakada then went into more detail about the graduation speeches and Ms. Nakada shared a speech she created. Ms. Nakada also promised us another speech about us specifically.  After this, we worked on our poetry collections until we were dismissed.
