Blog#2- Almira


Lately, our AEP classes have been pretty cool. We usually start things off with a game, like Wordle, which is always fun. After that, we read some interesting news stories like how ants can do surgery and why July is National Ice Cream Month. We even talked about the Barbie movie and a lobster that got saved!

We’ve also been learning how to skim and scan when reading, which sounds tricky but is actually pretty useful. We practiced with some seatwork and even had a pop quiz. Before the bell rings, we usually play a quick game like Contexto, which is a fun way to end the class.

Overall, AEP has been a good mix of learning and fun.

The immutable and all-consuming nature of time unveils itself as each of the four's journeys progress, gently guiding them to acceptance.  The book uses charming prose juxtapo...

AEP Reflection 5 “Deep and meaningful”

Welcome back you all to another AEP blog! Today, Ill try my best to express things through words! Probably! Today was crazy.. currently in my car and I think I have to word things well here.. So, lets get started!  Today in AEP class, the atmosphere was calm, with the usual quietness filling the room. It felt like a regular session as we were handed a single sheet of paper for the activity just like the last meeting. This simplicity was becoming a pattern~and I found comfort in it.  As we settled in, the familiar voice from Ms. Disa’s phone once again guided us through the task. This time, we were presented with a checklist that asked us to select words we believed best described who we are. On the back of the sheet, the task became more challenging, as we had to choose the words that we felt defined us “perfectly”. It made me think harder about what truly represents me. When it came time for me to reflect, I chose family, art, and leadership. It was difficult to narrow down t...
