Blog: Week Ten

This week in Geography we had our maps and guided readings due.  We also had a map test today and I'm pretty sure I mixed up a mountain range.  Today we also got our Unit reviews and we will be having a test soon.  Then we will be studying for finals.

My summer vacation will be really busy this year.  pretty much every morning I will be getting up at 5:30 for swim practice at 6:00.  After that swim practice I will have another swim practice for another team.  I'm also taking 3 trips this summer.  I'm going to camp in Colorado for a week.  I'm going on a mission trip to Juarez, Mexico for a week.  And at the end of the summer I'm going to my lakehouse up in Idaho for a month.  It should be a fun eventful summer.

Blog: Week NIne

This week in geography we have been learning about Southeast Asia.  We finished our projects, taken the South Asia test and  done guided readings on Southeast Asia.

Out of all the places we have learned this year where do you want to go??  Hmm I don't know.  When we learn about places we tend to learn about bad things that re going on there.  But the Maldives sound really really cool.  I would love to go see all the islands and coral reefs of the Maldives.

Blog: Week Eight

This week in Geography we have been wraping up the chapter on South Asia.  On Tuesday we went to a lecture where we heard people speak about different religions.  On Wednesday we watched a movie about Mount Everest and today we completed guided readings from the chapter.

What do you want to be when you grow up???  That is a really hard question for me to answer because I really don't know.  I might want to be a teacher or own a business or something.  I'm not really sure.

SWIM MEET

Blog: Week Seven

This week in school we have had TAKS which is a big state wide test.  So we haven't really been doing that much in any of our classes. But in Geography we have been reading articles about the monk protests in Myanmar.

I just joined a new swim team and it has been really difficult because it starts at 5:00 and so I have to go strait from school and it ends at 7:30 so once I get home, eat dinner, and take a shower it is 9:00 and then I have to do all my homework.  So I've been pretty tiered, but it is fun and a really good workout.  We usually have 30 minutes of dry land where we run a mile then we do ab workouts.  After dryland we have 2 hours of swimming and we usually swim 2-3 miles.
