The Last Blog

 Agenda: Take a Minute Blog/Corrections Last Letters HW: Last Letters To Me To Yourself To Next Years' Eighth Graders Today (not the day in which I'm writing this, but the day in which this will be read), is our last English class of middle school. The feeling is a bit solemn, melancholic even, but not really. As we confront this milestone, we watch our no-longer-daily take a minute video, and it tells us we need to touch grass, which is ironic, seeing as the person in the video is in a dark room with no plants. Then, Mikey and Hudson go up to read their very last blog. Once that commenced, we took a poll of all the different places that we will end up once we leave this chapter of our lives behind. After that, Ms. Nakada read to us her letter dedicated to us, the Class of 2026. She gave us advice to help us tread the path before us and summarized all that we have experienced within these four walls through these past 174 days. We then began our very last English assignment: a ...

Hunter the Great and Vance the Studious's Last Blog :)

Agenda - take a minute - blog • corrections - week 19: lines - ten year plans Homework Think about your life in ten years. Blog Good Afternoon! Today the class walked into the classroom and sat down. Ms. Nakada played the take a minute, and we listened intently. She then called up the last bloggers, and they read their fabulous blog. The bloggers then selected Vance and I to write the next blog. We then proceeded to read our lines for the week, "Just as the Calendar Began to Say Summer" by Mary Oliver. Then, Adrian burst in and relayed a mysterious message to Ms. Nakada. Then, Mr. Kamm came in, spoke a few words of wisdom, and left. We then analyzed the poem, and almost moved on to the ten year plans, but were interrupted by a "leanthy karioky descusion." Vance, your spelling is quite unique. After discussing the rest of this week's lines, we moved onto the ten year plan, where we looked at possible fields we were interested in, and their salaries. Then we moved...

Layla and Miriam's Last Blog :(

 AGENDA -take a minute- -blog/corrections- -Week #19: Question and Song- -ten-year plans- HW: Think about your life in ten years... Good morning! Today we walked into class chatty as ever, and settled down to watch the take a minute video. Next, we wrote down the question and discussed what we were excited and nervous about for high school.   Alex, Ethan, Kingston, Nell, Maya, Sigi, Goldie, Lev, and Molly all shared their opinions. Next, we listened to the song 'See You Again" by Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth. This song was very nostalgic and talked about friendships and loss.   After that, we talked about our budget for our life in ten years and about how planning is helpful. We then talked about the prices for utilities, food, buying or leasing a car, gas, insurance, phone bills, entertainment, savings, and student loans.   The total cost including all of those factors came out to $4800.  The bell then rang and that was the end of our English class.  Bye!...

Sigi's Last Blog :(

 Agenda: - Take a minute - Blog Corrections - Week 18 Quiz - Week 19: Grammar/Quote - Ten year plans Homework: Think about your life in ten years... We came into class on this fine Tuesday after our three day weekend and reviewed our take-a-minutes. Maya and William shared their poetic blog and then we took our quiz from last week. We talked about our studying habits we plan to carry into high school and had a productive conversation about AI. Then, we quickly reviewed our quote by Maya Angelou.  We started to plan our life in ten years, and I decided I want to be a social worker, doing Broadway auditions on the side with my ferret.

L'amour Toujours - William and Maya's Last Blog ⊹ ࣪ ˖ ꒰ঌ ໒꒱

     Agenda -  take a minute blog - corrections week 18: song original oratory prep hw - original oratories due 5/21 Less than two weeks remain. Twelve and a half days. It's everyday when we experience something for the last time. On May 21st, we walk into class. Some are tired, some are talking. Metal legs scrape the floor. Alex and Sam read their blog... Alphaville's "Forever Young" fills the air. Melancholy hangs decidedly with it. Because we don't want to live forever. But this year is almost done. And we couldn't be more conflicted that it's coming to an end. Ms. Nakada reads her original oratory. And weirdly enough, we are quiet. We stand still and listen. Listen to her, her thoughts, her feelings, And we appreciate it.  More than we show. And as another class comes to an end, The printer screeches as it prints out oratories. One down. Classes dribbling to an eventual stop.

Then, we jotted down the agenda into our binder-reminders. Afterwards, we watched the take a minute video and discussed what it was about. Afterwards, Goldie and Molly went up to read their blog which was good enough to earn us a point. Then, Molly wanted to pick Sigi, but Goldie decided to pick Alex for the blog. After, we wrote down the week question into our notebooks while talking about achievements/awards that can look good on a college application. Afterwards, we listened to people go up and perform their poetry slam, we listened to Maya, Ruby, Kaadra & Kellan, Miriam. Then, we worked on our oratory prep paper with some people being done starting their speech. Afterwards, the bell rang and that ended our fabulous English class.
