News Letter

My group has made more progress on our newsletter. We have our group article done. I have finished my personal article. the article I wrote was about twin day. It is about one hundred-and-forty words long so I definitely have enough length. Maggie C. and Maggie R. are both almost done with their articles as well. we have also picked out our pictures for the newsletter. I can't wait to put it all together!!

I posted on Jessica Blair's blog.

Physical Development

I plan to help my physical development in a variety of ways. I have been working hard in my pre-season basketball conditioning. This started a little over a month ago. we lift, jump rope, and then we go to a gym to play. Because of this, I should be in good shape by the time basketball season rolls around. Then i will have soccer and that will get me in even better shape. This is how i plan to nurture my spiritual development.

News Letter

I am excited for my new assignment! We have to make a newsletter about homecoming week in groups of three. In my group here is Maggie Rothan, Maggie Clark, and myself. We are hoping to make ours creative with pictures and stuff like that. I can not wait to see how it will turn out! I hope you enjoy it Mrs. Brown! We are hoping to finish it up soon because it is due on next Wednesday and we would not want it to be late. I commented on Hannah Ward's blog.

Inellectual Progress

I plan to make a lot of progress intellectually this year. I am no a freshman anymore so i know what to expect and I will not be caught by surprise. I should to spend more time studying this year than I did last year because I think that will help may grades immensely. I have a tendency to rush through work so I also intend to take more time on my assignments. This is how I want to improve academically.

This week in our computer education class we are working on Power Points for a specific saint. We will be presenting these to the class. So far I am on my third slide because it took me a while to figure out the setup of the program. There are some subtle differences between PC and Mac PowerPoint versions. I like it though. My saint is Saint Brigid of Kildare. She is an Irish saint. So far I have only put in information but I can't wait to do pictures.

Emotional Development

There are many ways I plan to nurture my emotional development this year. I will probably be put in situations I am not familiar with. I have to be able to learn from my mistakes and do it right the next time. When you make a mistake you have to move past it. I will try to do that and imrove through my mistakes. Happier people are people who don't let things get them down.

Mission Statement

After reading the Mission Statement, I plan on nurturing my spiritual development by going the the confession offered during homeroom. I may not be able to go every week, but I will do the best that I can. So far I have been enjoying the storyboard assignment, which I finished today. It seems fun but I'm not the most creative person so we'll see how it goes. I have twelve slides right now which is where Mrs. Brown said we should be. I will turn that in tomorrow in class. Talk to you later. =]
