Today during English today we first wrote in our journals. I couldn’t find any thing to write about so I wrote about what I was going to do this weekend. Second we got on the I-Pads and we got on an app called nearpod and we enter our names and answered a bunch of questions and stuff. That’s what we did for English today.

As I groggily woke up this morning I realized today I get to write my last Daily Blogger. At first I thought it would just be a hassle to do, then I realized it actually helped us become more advanced writers.

            The smell of cinnamon rolls aroused my nostrils as I walked into the lunchroom to greet my friends.  As we walked into English class today we were asked to grab an Ipad so we could get an app running so it would work later in class. After that we grabbed out our journals and wrote about an historic event, which is Free Write Friday. I wrote about the “fun” events that will take place this weekend. Right after that we snatched our folders from our boxes and took out our DGP and diagramed the last one for this week. We then awakened our Ipads and opened the app Nearpod, after some of us had to download it. We then waited for everyone to put their names in and we got going on the adventure. It was pretty fun to draw our answers instead of raising our hands and answering them verbally. Remember to not overuse the exclamation point!!! Also don’t forget to complete your vocab study guide in Mrs. Troester’s Reading class. I hope you all have a great week. Today seems to be a relaxing and enjoyable day. 

            Groggily walking from class to class I realized how much I’d miss Daily Blogger. It truly gave us practice to become superior writers.

I wake up I’m getting dressed and I remember. “I am the blogger today.” I come to school this morning and start writing. I’m in Eng. and writing my blog. In the past 2weeks we gave our speeches. I also learned a lot on my project I did my speech on. In history class we played some current event. Also in English class we are learning about a guy that went to college and was a punter in football. He got caught with a video he made when he was 14. Now he is on the sexfender list.

April 3, 2014~ Late Daily Blogger

As the count down to Friday begins our dreary Thursday morning the gossip fills the halls of our very own O'Neill Public High school. As I stroll through the halls I hear everybody talking about the crushes, the couples, the fights, and the random stories of what happened the night before. The chatter continues as I make it down the eighth grade hallway. I throw my gym bag above the locker and I see Paola and she walks me to Mr. Morrow's and then the bell ran. I rushed to the water fountain to get a quick drink before our mundane review for NESA testing. We went over approximately fifteen questions before the bell rang for the second time that morning.

It was off to English. Before English started Amanda and I went on our little walk around the halls and telling stories of what happened during the ten hours we weren't talking. The straight back to make sure we weren't late. We started off English with our daily grammar practice. The only thing we had to do was add a period at the end of the sentence and capitalize the first letter of the sentence as well. After we finished we started writing on our journal topic that proved to be very thought provoking and debatable. We read an article about a twenty five year old registered sex offender trying to get a pardon to be able to get in to the NFL. When we finished reading the article we had to write down our opinion about if we thought he should be pardoned or not. Subsequent to that we continued the NeSA language review. The review today consisted of punctuation. Before we could get to the review on the computer the bell rang but luckily we finished the review power point. 

To finish out the day we had a surprise nutrition speaker before the Jr.High went to our track practice or P.E. if you aren't in track. The speaker addressed the good habits we should start doing as our daily routine. He talked about how we needed to eat breakfast every day and get proteins in our diet. He also talked about how we needed to drink a gallon of water and twenty-four ounces of milk each day. After all of the uncalled for questions he wrapped up the talk and we headed off to track practice.

Make sure you drink the right amount of water and milk every day!

Daily Blogger- April 3, 2017: Late

Waking up this morning, I was quite relieved that it was Thursday. I only have to get through today and tomorrow and then it is the weekend. With that being said, I sadly don’t have any plans… Today in civics class, we played the current events game. The boys beat the girls, but that is only because I was the keeper of the eye!

In English class, we started off with doing Daily Grammar Practice. We then moved on to an article in the Norfolk Daily News about a man who wants to get into the NFL, but he is having trouble because he is a registered sex offender. After we finished reading it, we wrote in our journal about what we thought about that article. When we finished writing, we shared our thoughts out loud in a discussion. Once we finished that rather heated debate, we moved on to a Power Point over punctuation.

Overall, I feel like we had a very productive day. It was nice to have a little bit of change in what we were doing, rather than the normal English class. If only all my classes could be as fun as English! ;)

Daily Blogger April 3, 2014 By: Shayne Campbell

            Today as I walked through the luxurious door of O’Neill High School, I had one thing on my mind. It’s exactly one week before my first track meet. I have been waiting for it to be this close for over a month, but I am sure others thought differently while walking through the O’Neill High Schools doors. For example some may have been thinking that it is getting close to this weekend. I am sure all were dreading their first period class though, mine is science. I walked in and I knew that today was the day we had to review our Check for Learning. I hate doing this except for the fact that it does help me on my NeSA testing. Everybody paid really good attention to Mr. Morrow, which I am sure he was happy about. Overall I think we had a good first period!

            As I walked down the stinky hallways of OHS, I had one thing on my mind English. I don’t hate English, but we don’t necessarily get along! Most of all I am not the best writer. To start off today we did daily grammar practice. It was really easy because we only had to write the sentence down correctly. It took us all about two minutes and then we reviewed with the class about what the corrections were. Then we moved on to writing in our journal. We had to read an article about a sex offender who is asking for a pardon. We all wrote our opinions and then shared them with the class. This took awhile because we had to read the article and the write down what we thought. For the past few days we have been doing a language review. Today our topic was punctuation. I am not the best at punctuation, but I have to sharpen up my skills because of the NeSA testing that is coming up soon. Today we were supposed to review on the computer, but since class time was running short all we had to do was review the PowerPoint. I am lucky to have made it out of English class alive!

            The yucky smell of school could make me puke! That is usually how I feel about school, but so far today it has been pretty good! I am excited for track practice because that means I am one day closer to my first meet, which is exciting. Mrs. Morrow has taught us a lot about language review this week. Mrs. Troester is always there to help us with our questions, which is extremely nice. All in all those two make a good team of teachers and

help our class learn a lot about what we are capable of! That’s all for this Thursday, April 3, 2014 it looks like it’s clear skies from here on out!

April 2nd Daily Blogger

I walked out of my house and the 21 degree weather hit me hard. Only in Nebraska can you go from shorts and a t-shirt to sweatpants and a big sweatshirt. I then hopped in my heated car and came to school. The bell so rang telling me that it was time to start another day. We had a difficult worksheet in first period Civics. Then we tiredly walked to English class across the building. When we arrived we attempted to enter the class room and avoid the big clutter that we encounter coming in and out of this room because so many kids are in here everyday. Then we got started.

"Four most important things to you" that was our journal topic was for today. When we read some in class I wasn't surprised to hear that many of the boys said girls as one of their most important things. Then we began DGP (Daily Grammar Practice), today we identified the independent clauses of the sentence and what type of sentence it was. Next we went to a website that we have been using for the past few days to practice for the NESA tests. We went to Word choice and did activities 1,3,9,11, and 13 to practice words that sound the same but have different meanings. We spent most of the period completing this on chompchomp.com. Don't forget to finish the quiz given to us at the end of the period.

Overall this was a good day with little homework. It was also a quite day with little going on. Don't forget to finish your quiz and exercises. This is my last time ever being daily blogger hope you have a great rest of the year. Good luck and go Eagles!

Our DGP

As I walk into the classroom I realized that today I ‘m the daily blogger. So today in English we went on Chompchomp.com to do some problems with grammar and we also had to do a worksheet. After English was over my next class was science and in science I studied my vocabulary to get ready for our quiz when I finished I got to work on other homework so that is all I have to say as daily blogger.

When I woke up this morning I thought it was going to be just any other boring school day. My perspective on this same old Tuesday changed from the minute I walked in the doors of O’Neill JR/SR High School. As I walk in I could hear laughing over yonder I wonder what this laughing might have to do with. Of course like anyone else I opened my ears up just to hear the whisper of an April Fools joke. It hit me that today is April Fools.

When the tardy bell for 4^th period rang I could hear the moans and cries of the 8^th grade students at OHS who had English this period. As soon as that bell rang we were put to work. Our first assignment was to write about a funny prank on April Fools you have done, want to do, or it happened to. Of course we had to share these crazy stories. The next thing we had to do in English we went through a PowerPoint the chompchomp.com put together. Mrs. Morrow went through the PowerPoint to help us get the hang of what our assignment would be. When we were finished going through this helpful presentation we moved on to the real work. A 20-problem worksheet from Grammar Bytes.

Throughout my silly day I wound up at my grandparents with my mom. We talked for about 30 minutes. At the end of our visit my grandparents wanted to show us the pictures they’ve put on the fridge of our family and my aunts and uncles families. When we were getting ready to finally leave my grandpa told me he was really glad I was doing band. This was the perfect opportunity for one of my many April Fool’s jokes. I told him I wasn’t going to do it anymore and how my family is disappointed in me for not doing it anymore. The expression and tone of his voice was hilarious! I made sure he knew I was for surely that it was an April Fools joke and we laughed together.

            Today was just another typical day at O’Neill Junior-Senior High School. I crept into the mysterious 8^th grade hallway wondering why there was no one in there, and then I remembered that it is 8:05 A.M. I started scrambling down to Mr. Hesse’s room because I didn’t want to be counted tardy. He ended up counting me present which elated me. In first period civics, we read an article about segregation in schools. Then we did a worksheet over what we read. This morning was pretty uneventful to say the least.

            In second period English, we started off by opening up our journal and writing about our April Fools Day experiences. To be honest with you, I think this day might be the dumbest day ever. Next we worked on our DGP (Daily Grammar Practice) and our sentence was “the hair of the affrighted pedagogue rose upon his head with terror.” Then we looked at slides about parallelism or parallel structure. The slides were messed up but a few of them worked. One of them said that Shane burped with content and that describes our Shayne perfectly. There were examples that really helped me learn how to notice which sentences were parallel and which ones weren’t. Mrs. Morrow called on people to answer the questions. Next the class went to chompchomp.com working on parallel structure and there were some pretty entertaining sounds when you got an answer right. That is what we did for the rest of English class.

            Tonight is the first night for what seems like forever that I don’t have something going on. I might take a nap and just sit around and watch TV. There should be some good basketball on tonight. At least it is only a four-day week for me as I have the state geography bee on Friday in Omaha. Stay classy OHS.
