01 Science
Rating: ***
The subject itself is no problem. Science has always been one of my best
subjects granted that I actually do the work. My science teacher's style is
not too bad: we do a lot of labs, though they are sometimes very stupid.
And she changes how much certain tests are worth, so one test counts a lot
and another one is worth very little, so it is harder to mantain a high grade.
Her homework policy is great, because if I forget, I won't get in trouble if
I write a bunch of bogus answers down. ;D
02 Geometry
Rating: **
The subject of Geometry is one of the most difficult things
I've ever attempted to learn. I dislike it very much. It has nothing
to do with our math teacher, who has a sharp tongue and a fun sense of humor.
I like her a lot - she's also good at explaining things. She's the only
one who keeps me afloat during this troublesome journey through the
rough sea of triangles and parallelograms. (Sounds dramatic)
We have this class on the
computer, so it's hard to learn. Homework is not often but when it is given out,
prepare for a long haul.
03 English
Rating: ****
I'm not wonderful at grammar but I love reading. I like to write
too, especially when we have a themed journal entry.
The English teacher is a big guy and he's funny.
I mean, he makes jokes and subtle pokes of fun, plus he makes up awesome
Quotes of the Day. He's cool 'cause he lets us go into groups. Plus
we read a lot of stories! Too bad he likes to give out a lot of
tests. *pouts* I enjoy this class a lot. Note: There is a cute rilvary
between him and my history teacher.
03 Symphonic 8 Band
Rating: ****
::hums:: I like music and playing my alto clarinet (and clarinet) -- I
just don't like playing exercises and things. I love my music, but since
I'm now playing the alto clarinet I get a lot of the bari sax stuff,
which has really boring parts. Note, rest, note, rest for example.
My band instructor is awesome.
He's funny but he won't take no crude from his classes.
Our class is huge, seventy kids. My only gripe about this class is that I fail
a lot of playing tests, which may lead me to awful grades. [edit]I'm so
relieved. I got an A- in this class first marking period. [/edit]
05 History
Rating: ****
I'm not a history fan though I like reading about what they wore and stuff,
but once we get into dates and junk, no thank you. However, I like
this class a lot. Plus, the teacher loves to READ, thank you very much.
Reading I can do. As an added bonus, during SSR (Sustained Silent Reading)
she will let me eat candy and I don't even have to be reading, as long as
I'm quiet. I love it when teachers don't follow the rules. :) Homework is
generally easy and so are tests. My history teacher is the "Old" and
my English teacher
is the "New" in the battle of Old vs. New. I think they both have a healthy
respect for each other though they argue and make fun of each other.
06 French
Rating: ***
I switched to this class from Graphic Communications so now my schedule won't
be changed for the whole year. Plus I got my P.E. waivered!
Mademoiselle Stutzman is a bit of a Nazi for talking though. Hehe, no one
listens to her. French is fun, though I have problems sometimes.
I have a few friends in this class, we have such fun times. A bad
end of the day class though, I'm so...rowdy?...that I kinda let myself
go. :K Too many tests take place, though homework is kinda lax (yay!).
French is an interesting subject, but I'm only taking it so I will have
the knowledge of a second language behind me.
