Last week we had a quiz about linear functions. Normally we take this quiz by ourselves, but this time we had to do it with a partner. We had to share the same paper, so our grades would both be the same for that quiz. It was a bit challenging because sometimes your partner wouldn’t agree with what you wanted to say, so it put some pressure thinking about which was right or not. Also if one person did something and got something wrong, then you would get that grade too. I would maybe like to do something like this in the future, but I also like to do quizzes on my own too.

First Trimester Teacher Comments
A few days ago we got our teacher comments about how we did this trimester. It helped me learn about what I should focus on more, and the things that I have improved on. Now I am able to make some new goals for the second trimester based on what the teachers wrote about to improve on. By reading what the teachers wrote, next trimester it will help us write our own comments. By reading these comments I hope that I will be better in the second trimester.
Science Class
For the past week we have started a unit on chemistry. I’m really excited to learn about chemistry since you get to try a lot of experiments and see what happens when you mix different things together. Last week we did a lab called the Rainbow Lab. We had six different test tubes, and poured red, yellow, and blue into them. Then we followed instructions and mixed the different colors in different test tubes and the end result was a rainbow. The first test tube was red, then the next was orange, then yellow, then green, then blue, and purple.
ABC Essay Writing Reflection
I think this essay was not the best essay I’ve written. At first it was kind of simple, so then I edited it again and it kind of got mixed around, and then edited it again and was a bit confusing. I think I did well on separating the paragraphs and focusing on two different topics of rejection of self. But I think I have to work on placing the paragraphs and not mixing them around, introducing the characters, and jumping to different topics. I also think that I could add more description to my analysis and describing more about the evidence I put in before.
Winter Break
On the second week of winter break I went to San Jose to visit my friend who lives there. It was really fun and I got to learn a lot new things there. She taught me how to use a skateboard type thing, I tried a lot of new foods, and watched a lot of movies. Since she lives in California I don’t get to see her a lot, so when we got to see each other it was really exciting. I also took a day trip to San Francisco and got to see the Golden Gate Bridge, we went to three different stops to look at the bridge and each view was really cool. I was only there for 3 days, but I had a really fun time.
