Math Profile

22elijahh on

Math in the past for me has had its ups and downs. In fifth grade I loved math. It was my favorite subject. As I got into six grade I started to struggle a lot which made it more stressful and dislike full. What I like about learning about math is that I can be really rewarding at times when you accomplish something. What I dislike about math is that you can get really stressed out with it at times when you don’t get something right. I consider myself a good math student because I don’t quit when I get stressed out. One of my flaws in math is studying and that is a really good goal for me in the future. I need to learn how to study and what to study. Another goal for me is to check over my work, last year on test I would just do the test and not check my work and many times my work was wrong and I got a bad grade so I learned that I need to go back and check my work when I think i’m done.

Vocal majors

22elijahh on

The year so far in vocal majors is very fun. I really like how it’s very interactive and fun. I really like the warmups that we do they ar my favorite. Three things I’ve learned about my voice is that it’s hard to find the pitch because it’s low, my voice doesn’t project as much, and I can use my low voice to my advantage in singing. One thing I’m wondering is when harmony started.

Poem

The color red

The color blue

Then I chew

On that tiramisu
This is one of my poems. I did not really have any inspiration for this poem I just started to write and this is what happened. An element of poetry is line breaks. I don’t actually really like this poem at all. I could of worked way harder on it and spent a way longer time on it.

Poem

Saturn

Solar system

My favorite planet

So far away from Earth’s Humans

Saturn

 

This is one of my poems. This is the poem I am using for the poetry breakfast. One element of poetry in this poem is line breaks. I really like this poem and that is why I picked it for the poetry breakfast. If I could change one thing I would re-word some lines to make it sound more artsy.

Poem

22elijahh on

Basketball

Fun, challenging

Running, shooting, dribbling

The sport I love so much

Basketball

 

This is one of my poems. Its about basketball. It is a cinquain type of a poem. The elements of poetry in this is line breaks. I like this poem a lot. I think I could of worked way harder on it but I still really like it. If I could change something I would of made it a little longer to say more stuff about basketball. One thing I really like about it though is that it explains a lot about me because I love the sport of basketball.

Map Project Final

I really like this project because I felt I was really creative with this and I spent a really long time on it. If I could change something I would of made the pray paints look a little more exact.
