Garbage Collection??? - Aire M.

Hello! What a great day it is, to be here in AEP. Last year, I was told that I would be moving back to Filipino, but that changed, and now I'm back! I'm glad to be here, even if the essays I have to write are endless. I'm quite at home here, in Miss Disa's cramped room, using a language I like. Completely content and at home.

But what is this home like? On the 5th and 6th period of a Wednesday, take a peek through the small looking glass and here's what you will find inside...

NOVEMBER 6, 2024

Today was a little strange. Instead of diving head-first into a warm-up, we talked about term 1's accomplishments and how we would be moving forward. Moving on from the overview writing, we decided to lean more onto vocabulary instead. After a little chat, we moved to Scrabble for some fun. It got chaotic, but it was nosier than usual. I still had a bit of fun, especially when I was able to work and have fun with our new classmate Mika! We got last place, though.

Today was pretty chill overall. Miss made our new classmate, Mika, go hold the pen as we completed Squaredle, but I think she got a little overwhelmed with all of us shouting at her. We ended up completing it at the cost of her sanity. Seatwork followed closely after, which was pretty fun, since I completed it quickly. Some of my classmates admired me for my speed and how all these english things came naturally to me. I tried to help them with their own work, and it was nice knowing I was able to have a positive contribution in another's life. But I am not perfect; I needed Mysha's assistance for some of the questions, hehe. Maybe one day, when I am fully able to stand on my own two feet, that's when I will be proud of myself. For now, I'll slowly try to get there, one step at a time.

Today we started the class with some good ol' Squaredle. Miss chose me to hold the pen, and while I usually do enjoy this task, I did not enjoy Hyeono bossing me around to try words... and getting it right. He got a lot of words, and we completed the little warm-up quicker than I thought. I suppose he is improving.

After the warm-up, we continued the seatwork from last time. There was a really weird graph on garbage collection that confused us all. Miss told us she's never seen a graph like that in her life. My head exploded a bit while having a go at an actual essay, which wasn't too bad? I was just so sleepy and that made me lazy to do it, even if I knew all the words and how to write it in my head. Maybe that's a skill I need to get better at. Putting my thoughts onto paper. It certainly would help me communicate with others more efficiently.

Well, that's all you'd see if you watched our class cramp up Miss Disa's little classroom for the past 3 weeks. Bye now. I'm signing out.

Aleena Imran - BLOG #3.2 - Grade 9

  I honestly cannot believe we are already halfway through the third term, it feels like we started it yesterday. This will be one of the last blogs we’ll be writing for the school year, which seems so crazy. As much as I’m not fond of writing blogs, it’s still a reminder that we shared our moments together in AEP.   March 5, 2025 -  An Off-Board Warmup? This warmup was unlike our other ones. We usually have our warmups on the board, such as Wordle, Hurdle or waffle. But this time, all we had on the board was a map. Everyone had to state one sentence about the two maps shown on the screen, but there was a plot twist, you had to remember what the previous person stated and add on to it. As more people stated their sentences, it only got difficult, it meant you had to remember more sentences, but in the correct order. I wasn’t able to remember the sentences in order, but I still enjoyed watching other students struggling to remember the sentences.  Later on, we g...

Abracadabra — Leo Blog 3.2

 This term, we've begun with a list of terms related to environment, ranging from the devastating crises happening around the globe to the lovely descriptions of catastrophes caused by man. While it's a very fun and a not-so content-heavy topic, it reminds us that we can't say ' abracadabra ' to felled trees and watch as they rise from the ashes of our ancestors. Well, it's a shame, really. Would've loved to see some of the forests and wildlife that existed before the world began pumping steam and breathing coal. The first thing we did when we got to the third term was pairing words to form collocations. There were a variety of them, 42 collocations to be exact, and we had to figure them out. Most were easy, words we knew were things like 'climate change' or 'heat wave', but some were new. 'Paddy farming', 'septic tanks' and other words were quite interesting. Unfortunately, I wasn't there for the AEP period the week after...

End and the start of term!

Helloooo everyone! Welcome with another blast! See, your favorite blogger is not late this time!!! And that is because it's just the start of another term, and the workload from school is quite light. Can you believe it's the last term already?? I am still in disbelief—only 2/3 of grade 11 is left, and then our final year of high school... I don't even want to think about it! We have learned a lot of things in AEP last term, including discovering new games and learning a lot more of Miss Disa's fun anecdotes. AEP this year has taught me a lot of technical terms as we have been getting lessons on very niche and specific topics. You know how a word appears a lot when you newly learn it? Now, due to my expansion of vocabulary, I started seeing the words I am learning everywhere, and that brings a bit of peace in me, as I think, well, I am learning something. We had worksheets on Healthcare, Crime and Punishment, Business, and Politics. My favorite among them was the health...
