Daily Blogger- April 11

It was a warm April day I walk through the big doors of the high school and it went through me that I was daily blogger today.

            In English today we worked on a couple of things. The first thing we did was our journal and we got to write about anything we wanted. I had no idea what to write about at all so I just talked about the NESA test and how boring it was. Then Mrs. Morrow got the sticks out just like she does everyday. The first person she called on was Trevor and he talked about the track meet. While Trevor was reading I was stretching and Mrs. Morrow thought I raised my hand so of coarse I had to go. After me it was Tyler that also talked about the track meet. The next thing we did in English was to work on our Dgp that we have to do everyday. So I grabbed my orange Dgp sheet out and started to work on the graph of the sentence. After we did Dgp Mrs. Morrow started to name off things on our sheet for the newspaper. I almost fell asleep during that but then Gabby snapped me with a rubber band. So I grabbed her Rubber band and snapped it in two. Finally when Mrs. Morrow stopped talking about the thing we got to get a partner and pre-review but we only had 10 minutes so we only had time to read the article. This is what we did during English.

            Today in Reading I had no idea that we had a test. I think I didn’t do so hot on that test. But a good thing about Reading today is that I finished the book “Nothing but the truth”. The ending is the most stupid ending I have ever read. Then in Math we are getting ready for the NESA test next week. Sarah marked me with a blue marker and it was all over my leg. So I got her back and got marker all over her arm. Then in the next class I had been civics. Once the bell rang Mr.Hotstert told us the joke of the day, geography questions and then the presidents. The joke of the day I just used my fake laugh like I do everyday. I got both of the geography questions right so I got two stickers. The president we had today was the last president that we had and that president was Barack Obama.  After the president we watched a video about the kkk. This is what we did so far on this day.

            This was the last time I will ever do daily blogger :( . Well this is what we did today in English. Bye daily blogger!

Today we didn't have reading, english, or history because we had our nesa tests. It was great because we had no homework and for 4th period we went out to the basketball court and played basketball. Not to mention when we went out in between test and played. Test was decent. Most of them were easy not very many that were hard.

April 15th Daily Blogger

         To say that April 15 is a bad day is an understatement. Not only did the Titanic sink and more than 1,500 people died in 1912, but also there were many other catastrophic events that took place on this dreadful day. In 1989, 95 people were crushed to death in Sheffield Soccer Stadium in England. A disastrous earthquake took place on Montenegro coast in 1979. On this day Abraham Lincoln died in 1865. 43 people died when two express trains collided head-on south of Bologna, Italy in 1978. Also, a fire swept through a campsite of Muslims making the Hajj pilgrimage in 1997. The official death toll was 343. In 2002, an Air China Boeing 767-200, flight CA129, crashed into a hillside during heavy rain and fog near Busan, South Korea, killing 128 people. More recently, in 2010, volcanic ash from the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland led to closure of airspace over most of Europe. Today is also the first year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing. 3 people were killed and 183 were injured.

            As I wandered aimlessly in the hallways this morning, I noticed everyone was in their track sweats and ready to take on Boone Central this afternoon. Not like normal mornings, I went to Mrs. Troester’s room for Nesa Testing. Yay!:( I don’t know about everyone else, but I hate testing especially now since we can’t have gum or water. The state doesn’t understand what it’s like to take tests for three hours with minimum breaks and not have water to quench our thirst. So far the worse thing that has happened was our computers didn’t cooperate to set up our testing. Eventually we got them ready and started testing. The testing was over math and had two sessions. Due to testing, we missed our 1^st through 3^rd period classes. We also have a JH track meet later in the day. We depart from the school at 12:30 or 12:45ish. The meet is in Albion and doesn’t start till 3. Mrs. Hostert says it’s going to be cold and long. On the paper it said that running doesn’t start till 5:30, so it will be a long day. I think we will be taking one bus.

            Will all the bad things that have happened on this day, it’s not a surprise that Mr. Morrow, aka the MLB Pitcher in the hall of fame, was born on this day. Daily Blogger was really easy today because we didn’t have English, but nonetheless we still had an eventful day.  So before I wrote this we had our track meet, but I recently just heard that if was postponed to Tuesday. Tuesday is the O'Neill meet, so that's that. On the bright side however, we have a 2:30 dismissal.

The Titanic that sunk on this fateful day.

Nathaniel; April 11th 2014

Today I walked into a land of the sun burnt faces. I can safely say though, they were worth it. The team as a whole did great yesterday at the West Holt track meet. Looking into the future at Boone and beyond looks bright for the O’Neill junior high track team.

            Today in English class we started off as we usually do with Daily Grammar Practice. On Friday’s we usually diagram the sentence, and that’s what we did. The remainder of the day was slow paced because people needed caught up on their news articles for the Norfolk Daily News. While that was being done Mrs. Morrow talked gave us numerous tips about how to write our news article. Some examples were, not being to wordy, have accurate facts, don’t start sentences with “there is”, and other tips that I blanked out on. After that the people who had finished their articles peer reviewed with other students until the end of class. Don’t forget all news articles need to be submitted to blackboard by Monday at noon!

            Unfortunately we have NESA testing on Tuesday. Fortunately, the math test is the last one. Unfortunately, they put them on the day of our next track meet. Speaking for you for the last time here is Nathaniel.

Today in Reading class we were going to take a practice test but we had problems. After a while we gave up and started answering the word that matched the definition that was on slips of paper. Though, towards the end of the class period they had figured out the problem, but it had been to late to start, so we didn't do the test. English class was better because we spent the most time talking about how the first day of testing had gone. Most of us agreed that the teachers were a little strict and that it would have made it easier if we were able to have drinks and snacks. After our discussion we talked about our piece of writing that we were supposed to do, and how the people were going to be chosen to be on the page in the news article.

            Today I walked out of my room and got ready for the day. I was tired. I checked my iPod and saw that there was nothing new. So then I cut I piece of banana break and got a glass of milk. My mom and sister finally got into the car and we were driving away. We were running behind a little, nothing new, but I still got to school in time.  When we got to school I went into the lunch room and sat at the table with my friends like every morning. Then I came into English class and opened up my computer. And of course the little notification popped up and said, “Daily Blogger!” The only good thing about being daily blogger today is it’s the last time I will ever be daily blogger!

            Today we start out testing in English class. We couldn’t figure out what site it was and our passwords so it took a long time. We finally found it out after a while. Then we went to math and did the assignment. We all were assigned homework just like almost everyday. Now I am in Civics learning about the Presidents. I am very excited for tomorrow night because we get to go to Lincoln for State FFA. Well I better get to my work! Bye!

It is an exciting and busy week here at OHS, but especially us Jr. High kids. With NeSa Testing today and Thursday, the first track meet of the year at Atkinson, and state FFA and FCCLA is keeping everyone occupied. But, before any of those things take place: we've got to get back to English class.

I got to class, and we immediately sat down and started on our DGP papers. After we wrapped that up, we took up our work again on our news stories for the section of the Norfolk Daily News that we will be publishing soon that talks about technology. We were given packets and  small groups brainstormed some modern technology topics like 3D printing and our 24/7 learning style at our school. Writing about things like this in a newspaper will help some older adults understand how important modern technology is to students. As homework for tonight, we are supposed to flip to the second page of the packet and fill out the prewrite of your article.

In conclusion, we are getting further and further into our news report project, and even closer to the end of the school year. Since this is my last Daily Blogger post, I'd like to wish everybody a happy rest of the school year (or as happy as school can be) and I'll see you this summer!

   Today walking into the school heading to my first period class stopping by my locker like I always do. In my first period class we played current events. I was the keeper of the eye it was fun. The girl’s won for once it’s always the guys who win.

 In English we did something new. We downloaded an app called Nearpod. I did not get to try it though cause it took the entire period to download. Everyone who has that class knows that the internet never works in there, so who ever missed Friday did not miss that much.

   In science my next class we took a Check for Learning test. It will help me to prepare for NESA next week. Daisy was my partner we did well I think it was 56 long questions. Following my other 5 periods school was out for the weekend. One more thing I want to say high five Friday

Today as I walk through the school door I realized that I am the daily blogger. So today I will tell what I did in my classes so in English we tried to go on an app on the ipads, but for some reason something went wrong with the ipad so we used the ipads that did work and we got partners and went to work, but the bell rang so it was time to go to 3^rd period.
