class
I read, write, and learn best when i am doing something with my hands. I prefer to read alone because i learn better that way and i can go at my own past. No, because i didn't blog everyday like i was suppose to. Yes, i did comment on other post but i didn't put many on there. No, i got to know them better in person than on the blog. I haven't matured this year i have been the same person as before. Yes, i will continue to write and read this summer.Yes, i would write on the blog if it was still available. My goals for naxt year is to get my reading grade up and to write betteer. I don't know what my goals are in ten years. I started my early years being excited because I had one of the most awesomest teachers ever. When it came to first grade i was petrafide of the teacher because she was so mean to me and some of the otheer kids. I haven't matured over the years. My habits as a student are not doing my work unless i like the teacher that is teaching the subject or if I don't get it i won't do it or ask anyone for help. I don't really have any expectations for school except for this year because i have to do good in order to stay in high school. Well, thats what my caseworker says. I will take that even if someone judges you they have low self esteem if they make fun of you or even talk badly about you and its not worth getting mad or sad about it.I will remember that the people got to know one another and they actually got along.
FINAL LETTER!!!!!
My most memorable class project was the one about the guy from NYC about the football player there was SOOOO MUCH PASSION in that project. My most memorable book was by far twisted it was one of the best books i have ever read. My most memorable writing was the one about the old guy who couldn't read. I LEARN THE BEST WHEN I CAN SEE WHAT I'M DOING BECAUSE I CANT LEARN BY JUST LISTENING. I prefer to read alone so i can go at my pace and stop to think about the book at anytime. Yes i do. Yes i comment on other peoples blog post. Sometimes i could. Ya i think more as reader then a student haha. NO!! I WONT!! Yes i probably would just to talk to people. To pass all my classes. GRADUATE COLLEGE. YES i was very excited about starting school. I have become more involved in class. my habits are to talk a LOT!!!! My expectations are to go to and graduate college

Dear Miss James.
Miss James,I think you are the greatest reading teacher in the whole school but well I guess you are now.I wanted to tell you too many stuff about the way I read but i guess I have to go steps by steps then..The way that I read in your reading class is to participates on every words that are very similar to each text,the way that I write is to listen to you and looked at what kind of passage are you telling us or me to do and then we are going to write about it,and the way that I learn best is the way of reading all the passages or words is to help me to communicate with all my classmates and the reason why is that is because I wanted to learn more of reading skills from every teacher who is teaching reading especially to you too Miss James,I wanted to learn more of the reading powers because it is very important to me and it is my knowledge to take reading because I wanted to speak more of English.It's depended on the teacher if the groups are going to works on groups or work alone because sometimes when you and your friends wanted to hat about something when you guys are working in groups together.OH yes,I think I did participate in the weblog stuffs because I like the way we read and then posting them.I did comment on other posts and the posts are really awesome and it have good compliment words.I did get to know a few students in the class and also in the blog and it is great to greet other people.The way I matured as a student is being participate on every class that I take and yes I have matured.I really love to continue reading this summer because it really does help me with my reading skills and everything.My goals for next year is to get good grades on every class that I have and to get involves on every single thing that are very hard but I have to pass it.My goals for in the ten years is getting my degrees at my high school and try to get in college if that is okay with the people who work there.My first day of my high school was okay and it was fun.

My goals for next year are to not only play basketball and volleyball. but to make a deference on the team. i also want to make great grades and make alot of friends! my future goals are to go to collage and get my masters then try and be a marriage counselor. i love helping people and working out problems and this just seems perfect for me!! Even when i was younger i loved helping people. i was also a good friend maker. the first day of head start i was friends with everybody and always made them smile! i was always excited to go to school. i was the crazy friend that would always take risk. no matter how bad they would turn out. now i have learned to think before i do and make wiser decisions. school is how you make it. if you go in with a good mood then it will be a blast! if you go in closed minded then its horrible.

Dear Ms.James
My most memorable class project was the project about the guy from NYC.That was a sad storey tho.and my favorite read was ''the burn journals'' because....come on the kid lights himself on fire how much better can you get.
My most memorable write was......well........this.my favorite part about this is that your not writing about an book and that its going to a teacher and not everyone in the class.
I am a kinetic learner.because that's how i was born.I prefer to read alone because I'm not a very good reader when i read out loud.I kinda post everyday they get really short tho.I did comment on other peoples posts.I will not continue to read this summer but i will continue to write.I would continue to write on the blog if it was available to me over the rest of the summer.

Letter of Self-Assessment
Dear Ms. James,
The most memorable part of this class was QUAN ALERT!!!!!!!!! Another most memorable part of this class would be the people in it, I had a great time with my new friends Taylar and Joslynn.
The way I learn the best is to see what I am doing and then for someone to show me how to do it, then I will be able to do it myself. I prefer to read alone because then I can take as much time as I need to comprehend things and so I can go at my own pace. I did particapate in the classroom by posting and commenting on other posts. I think that I did learn more about the other students by reading the blog. During the summer I do not think I will continue to write.I will not continue to write on the blog because I am very busy. My goals for the next year are to keep my grades up and to get involved in clubs at my high school. My goals for the next ten years is to graduate high school and college and to get started in a career.
During my early years as a student I was quiet and didn't like school at all. My first day of school was at Mcbride elementry and I was so tired I came home and went straight to sleep. I was not excited to go to school at all. I am a smart yet quite student. From this class i will take an understanding of how to understand text better.
I enjoyed being in this class!!!
