What Have I Thought About The School







Both semesters 2009 and 2010 have been really fun because when we had finished our TAKS test,we have done better things than in last semester and that makes me feel happy because some of us did pass the test and 16% of us got commended,and even though someone didn't pass it or they just failed it,they should feel proud of themselves because they tried their best and they showed what they got,so they showed skill or strategy for them to pass the TAKS test.What I liked most of our school is that we get to go to fun field trips because the test has passed and I feel proud of myself because I have not been into a fun school like East Austin College Prep Academy because in my other school they just teached us and they didn't showed us like examples for us to get it 100% that we know how to prove our answer,but this is a different school,you get to go t[o tutoring for you to pass every test,they give you sometimes free time because we are good,all of those things made it a special school,so we are part of a family! We have been a good school for others even for visitors,so I don't really know what to say because this school has been wonderful to me teachers are helpful,caring,trustworthy,and they are really concerned about how our future awaits us,so I really think that this school is the best school in town and that we are smart enough to MAX THE TAKS every time we have one!We are really trying to succeed every time we have trouble with something,so the best advice that I have gotten is,"To keep trying and don't listen to others that tell you that you are a loser!"I have to mention that advice did help me with everything.I have learned many things in school and I have been convinced that this school is what I'm looking for!EAST SIDE TIGERS ROCK!!!!!I'm going to work really really harder for me to pass the TAKS,but not only to pass it,I want to get commended!

Bookshare:Charlotte's Web




Charlotte’s Web opens the door to a magical world, which a young girl named Fern finds herself a part of. Fern spends her free time with Wilbur the pig whom she loves and the other barn animals who play a large part in the life of Wilbur. Charlotte A. Cavatica, the large grey spider, befriends Wilbur and helps him deal with the shocking news that his life will end as bacon on someone’s plate. Charlotte goes as far as coming up with an interesting plan that only this spider could carry out with the help of Templeton the rat who never does anything unless there is something in it for himself to help Wilbur escape death.Although he didn't really win the prize of being first pig,they saw the web that said Humble and that made everyone be happy and once again be surprised,so he won a prize and they will not kill Wilbur.When Wilbur gave the great news to Charlotte,Charlotte had said that she was dying which made Wilbur be worried,but she explained how the cycle of a spider is like that.Although Charlotte died,she was still Wilbur's friend and when the baby spiders came,they were so happy that the other spiders left,but 3 remained in Charlotte's door each one of them gave their name which they are:Arania,Nellie,and Joy,and even is Charlotte had died,she still lives on many other animals heart and so does Wilbur.And even though it's based as a Fiction book and it's really sad at the end of the story,I do know that it is one of my favorite books,and I also agree that Charlotte explained how Wilbur made him a beautiful spider to others!

What Did I Think About The TAKS?




What I really thought about the Taks is that,it was really easy for me because I had prepared myself and I really didn't think that I would've done it because I thought,"Oh my gosh!I don't think that I can pass it because it's going to be harder than the other Tests because I'm in 6th grade!",I said.When I had realized that the test wasn't bad at all I started to focus more I had remembered one thing that my mom said,"If you pass,I'll buy you a Game boy."I didn't really think about that at first,at first I had thought that the teachers did this for us and they had prepared for us and that they are really proud of us seeing us growing up,and that we didn't have to,but they also wanted to see us be,commended!I tried my best at everything,so I really think that I either passed or being commended.

The other test was the Reading TAKS test.I didn't really had to worry about the reading test.You want to know why?Because we had strategies that could help us with it,and I did really agreed that they were useful to us because when we had tried the Benchmark of the Reading,everyone did good than the first time,and that really made a difference to our grades well,I think that it had raised.Anyways,I think that in Reading,I did get commended,that's what I hope so!I got a little bit nervous because they had said that there were going to be 6 passages,so that kind of threw me off because what if I mess up on focusing more,so I didn't even want to try thinking of it,but I think that I did pass,or should I say,commended!

I think that everyone attacked the TAKS test because every teacher at our campus had worked really really really hard for us to get commended on it,even the principal she encouraged us that we can do it and that we had worked hard and that it would be very sorry that we didn't pass,but we kept trying and trying and we didn't pass,so I think that we should give a very big thank you to them because they worked their backs off!I really think that if we believe in our teachers,and first of all,ourselves,we can succeed all of the tests that can come to our future now that we go to college and we had seen that believing on ourselves makes a huge difference to everyone,including yourself!
