My Progress in Spanish Class

umm..... I think I am doing okay in Spanish class. The last time I looked at my grade, I had a 93 ( or something like that). I might have went down a little bit because I haven't turned in one of my projects. For my report card, I would like to have an A or a B. The one thing that I struggle with in this class ( really in all my classes) is test taking. I do well with the class work ,but I just suck with test. As soon as I take them, I just forget everything. But, besides that, I thing I am doing very well in Spanish class.

NHD Reflection

1. My topic for NHD was slavery in Philadelphia and slavery at the President's house. It was a documentary. My partners were K'La Sigler and Shani Amos.

2. What I learned in my project was that its better to start earlier because when you wait until the last minute, you start rushing and messing things up and you start to stress out. When I did my project, i learned that George Washington owned slaves in the city of "brotherly love". I also learned that George Washington had some of his slaves teeth in his mouth since his fell out. I learned that you should have partners that know how to work well with computers (which my partners did).I also learned that NHD is a very important project and this grade determines your grade for historiography.

3. My partners and I had some successes. The first success was that we finished our project. We also got very good information for our project.

4. The challenges we faced were doing our voice overs because we had a hard time doing them because we always had people go before us I think that this was the mos frustrating challenge we faced.

5. Next year, I might do a exhibit because it seems a little bit easier than a paper and a documentary. I also would like to start a little bit earlier for my project. I think that I will have a better experience because now I know what to do know and now I know what my teachers will expect from me.

Activities for Service Learning Project

1.Well I don't really know what I want to do for my Service Learning Project because I don't really know what I'm interested in.I don't want to work with little kids or old people. Hmmm.....i really don't know what I want to do. Well I might want to help sponsor a fundraiser for kids in Africa or kids that have cancer.

2. Well i don't know many contacts, but maybe I can call a sponsor person that helps kids that hav cancer, or kids in Africa.

3.I haven't called anyone yet
