Going Green

I can help the environment by having all the unused appliances that I have by either turning them off or by unplugging things when I am not using them for no apparent reason. The video tells you how you can conserve energy and what you can do to make the environment greener and safe for everybody to live in. This video can impact so many people who want to help the environment. Yes, I can this would really want people to help the environment no matter where they live they can help not just me but everyone else.

My family and I try to conserve energy by not having all the lights on and not to have a lot of thing plugged in. We try to not watch as much TV as possible which is kind of hard to do considering the fact that we watch a lot of TV shows and never have time to watch them. So in a way it's really hard to do. We try to not use our thermostats as much when its warm outside but my dog can get really hot and she can't really stand the heat so we try to keep her nice and cool. My parents and I try to keep the house as cool as possible if we can but we are hardly ever home. My brother and I try not to play a lot of video games but it's kind of hard to do.

Student Led Conferences

I think that the student led conferences are going pretty well so far it's just hard for some people because they don't know what they are going to talk about with their parents and with their counselors. My biggest concern is what my parents are going to think and what they are going to say. Some of the questions I have would be would I be able to answer all the questions they ask and how I am doing in classes. I need to get all of the things put together and practice what I am going to say in front of my parents.

Olympics: Chen Yanyan

My name is Chen Yanyan. I live in China. My country is the first mos populated in the whole entire world. I don't really care where I live. I was born April 5,1985. There are three people in my family: my mother, my father, and my sister. When I compete in the Olympics my event is, Swimming, which by the way is alot of fun. One of the races I am in and very good at is: The Women's 200m Backstroke. I have gotten 6th place and 19th place. I prefer the 6th place one rather than the 19th place because 19th isn't what I was going for I was going for the 1st place but I guess I psyched myself out a little too much.

Making a modern day movie of Romeo and Juliet

I thought that it was hard to create a video of Romeo and Juliet and it was over all difficult to make it into a movie. I thought that it was okay creating the video but it was really hard to come up with how your really going create this video. It was hard for everybody because of the limited amount of time we needed to make it but it was really hard to create for some people. I would rather take a test rather than doing this because it would be alot easier to take the test. Whereas, the video website was really hard to use and to create the movie.

The olympics represent each and every country and what sport they do. The olympics to me means that people from all over the world have different talents and are good at many things like soccer or swimming and that encourages me to do anything I want if I try or put my mind to it. I would either do swimming or soccer. I would do soccer because first of all I've playing it ever since I was little and love. I would do swimming as well because I love being in the water alot and because I'm really good at it.

I wouldn't stick with playing the violin if I didn't want to unless my parents forced me to. The boy made the right decision and decided to stick with playing the violin to help him and his father because they had no money. If I was the boy I wouldn't do it unless we needed the money or anything like that.
What we learned in the Academy this week was that Romeo and Juliet are going to get married and run away together. In Social Studies we learned how the Chinese are all serious about everything and how they need to stay with something that they started and commit to something and just to stick with it.
