Blog Value

This blog actually has helped me learn how to have better technology skills. I actually enjoy writing my thoughts onto here that way everybody has a chance to read what's on my mind. It's really cool that I can go onto other people's blog and read about things that happened or are going on in thier life. I would have never thought of making a blog and sharing my ideas with people if it wasn't for Ms. Priester. Other than that I really enjoy having a blog.

Mr. Ron Major
Principal of San Pasqual Academy
17701 San Pasqual Valley Road
Escondido CA, 92025

Dear Mr. Major:

I am writing to persuade you to consider changing student-teacher here at San Pasqual Academy. Since you are the principal, you have the power make a difference. I hope that you are willing to take my concern into consideration. I personally could use more one on one time with a teacher that could help me understand.

I would like to see this change occur because there are a lot of students that either have an F or low G.P.A. These students, if they got time with a teacher their grade or grade point average would rise significantly. 7th period isn’t good enough to say that there is a great amount of communication because there is not. There are at least 20 students in there Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Ms. Priester doesn’t really have time just to focus and give the student’s the time they need to understand their work. Each classroom should have more teacher assistants who are learned in the subject(s). Most T.A’s just grades papers and take attendance. Ms. Raquel for example is a great and helpful T.A and we need more like her. She helps the student read over their papers and helps them with work they missed or did not understand.

Thank you in advance for taking time out of your day to read this letter. I hope you can understand where I am coming from. I look forward to getting the results back from you in person or letter. I really appreciate your time and taking this request into consideration.

Sincerely,




Heather W.

Letter To Daughter

Dear Daughter,

I made it so that you could only use the computer for a hour and a half everyday and I will be checking up on you from time to time. I feel that their are people that you should not be talking to online like cyber predators. Every site that you will go to you will write down what site you went to and for how long.I f I do find out that you are talking to people you do not know you will be on restriction for 2 days. This should teach you not to talk to predators online. Also, don't give out your address, phone number and don't submit or post any sexual pictures of yourself.

I am making sure that you do not get hurt form unknown people. Most predators want to provoke you to a sexual conversation that may make you feel uncomfortable. I want you to recognize that once you start talking to strangers it's going to be hard to get yourself out of that situation. If anyone calls the house that I think you may have met online, I am going to ask that person he or she questions. When they tell me that you have been talking to them online for a while, you and I will sit down and have a long talk.

You are only 15 years old and I hope that you will listen to me and make good decisions while online.I don't expect you to approve of this letter but I really care about your safety. If I catch you talking to cyber predators and either of the consequences worked; I will take the internet cord. This will prove to me that you obviously don't worry about your safety. Just try to be careful and remember I will be watching you from time to time while using the computer.

Free Write

Yesterday after school I went home and talked to Barbara my house social worker. I was suppose to go to court today but I wasn't up to go. Every time I go, the judge says the same thing and by now its annoying. So Chelsea and I went outside but there was no where to go. We were going to go out front but I'm on supervised. I saw Chau and she was roaming out front and I asked her to supervise me. She said yea so we sat in the grass in front of the Girl's rec and just talked. It going boring after a while so we decided to go home. When I got home I went into my room and started my homework. Then at 7:30 I went out with Chelsea. I went home because there was nothing to do outside. I went into my room, finished my homework, took a shower and went to bed.

American History Article

I never thought that day was going to happen. My name is Elena and I'm very skinny and have a flat body. I like to read and stare out my window because I could see in the house below us. Eugene is this really cute kid that I like, that just moved into the house below us. He is tall has blond hair and wears glasses. I got to know Eugene When I "accidentally" bumped into him in the hallway of our school. We talked and ever since then, we walk home everyday together. On
November 22, 1963 two things happened to me. Eugene asked me to come over to study for the American history test tomorrow and I told him I would. That same day November 22, 1963 I found out from my p.e teacher that president John F. Kennedy was dead. This day was important to me because I was actually going to get to spend time with Eugene. I learned that this day November 22,1963 is important to Americans because he was a very well liked president, when he got shot, the camera guy caught in on video , and he was the second current president assassinated. My family and I live in Patterson,
New Jersey in a place called The Puerto Rican Tenement know as El Building.

Career Day

This morning was Career Day. I had a good time walking around and learning about different job types. First we went to learn about occupational therapy. The ladies spoke to us about what the difference was between occupational therapy and physical therapy. Then we went into the auditorium and there was a whole bunch of different stands to choose from. Becky, Chanda, Amy, Nora and I went to the National Guard station. He gave us a book called "Guide To PAYING For Your College Education." Then we went to the Firefighters station. It was fun we were just talking about how they put on their suits so fast and what fires they have been in. Frazier also told us how much everything weighs when they put theirs gear on. It approximately weighs 30-40 pounds. Overall I had a good morning learning about the different careers.

Earthquake

At 3:45pm, I was sitting on the couch when the 7.2 Earthquake hit. I thought someone was moving the couch.I turned around and there was no one there. Then Teresa the staff, told everyone the table was moving.The items on the house started shaking really bad. Then all the kids from all the houses ran outside. If there was damage done, the students would of had got seriously injured. I honestly thought we were all going to die. Afterwards,I was in shock because I don't recall ever feeling an Earthquake that hard. Then we turned on the news and the news reporter's were talking about it. They said at first they thought that it was a magnitude of 6.9. Researchers researched more and it was a magnitude of 7.2. It had hit Mexicali and also Calexico. I watched the news this morning and 2 were found dead and at least 100 were injured.

Ten Second Sound Off

Yesterday I stayed at home and did my homework then I went outside. I had a pretty rough day. My social worker called and wanted to talk to me about something that my mom told my social worker.Then I called her and told her why I was upset with her and she said she was sorry. Then I stayed in the office from 9:30 to 10:30. Then I went home and took a shower and went to bed. I am kinda upset today but not because of anyone just the choices that I made.
