AEP BLOG 2.2 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

 


        Welcome to the new year!  One hopefully filled with exciting adventures (academic and not) that will disrupt my obnoxiously lengthy screen-time.  Clearly, despite my hollow enthusiasm, I have not changed for the better this January.  


Time runs quickly - and this time, I have not been able to catch it.


        January 8 - Pie, anyone?

    What better way to start the new year with a quick game of hurdle?  In our case, it truly was quick.  Three rounds and we have blundered.  An unexpected defeat, but not an unfamiliar one.

    Starting off with something we have experienced quite a bit last year, we reviewed charts.  Though this time, we took on learning pie charts.  Although they seemed intimidating at first, I got the hang of it and filled out blank spaces in my used-to-be empty worksheet.



        January 15 - Again

    What's more than a nice, simple Wordle game?  37.  Imagine my surprise when the board displayed not one, not two - but 37 wordle games, all at once.  We had to answer Wordle after Wordle after Wordles again and again.  However, past its intense visuals, I managed to answer a good amount of the words through my groggy thoughts.

    Once again, we reviewed pie charts.  After staring at colorful circles, we had to write the main takeaways from them.  I did not mind this at all, because it reflects on our past lessons on identifying key information from given graphs.



        January 22 - Read,  Reflect,  Fix.

    After an expected win against Wordle, we dove into our past mistakes - oddly terrifying.  But it wasn't so bad after all.  Thanks to this, I learned to prioritize the most important part of the sentence to be at the beginning, rather than focusing on the little details.  After that, we fixed our mistakes.  Though I was immensely tempted to peek at my past (mistakes), I had to face the future (sentences that must be written).

    Ignoring the incoherent babbling from a disruptive student fixed to sitting next to me, I enjoyed as we wrote about pie charts again.  Looking at information from different countries and about energy sources, I managed to come up with enough answers and key points of information.



Now that we are nearing the end of the month, and the first month of AEP this year has gone by, I feel rather melancholy.  A few of my peers and I have experienced the class of AEP and Miss Disa's teaching together since Grade 7, and it is coming to an end soon.  Recently, my parents have discussed plans of moving me to Filipino class next year to prepare for college.  Despite all this, though, I will not forget the lessons Miss Disa has taught me through these years.


Since the beginning of this year, I started to realize how little time there is.  Like a carefree bird, it flies on and on - aloof from our endless pleas to slow down.

Blog #3

First blog of the year! This blog includes the padlet of many, many AEP meetings.  Last padlet of the year (December 10, 2024). On that day, we didn't do much, just played games. We first played Scrabble (which Selim won) and then played Waffle. Had fun that day. First padlet of the year (January 7, 2025). The break went by so quickly, it didn't feel like 2 weeks at all. I wish it was longer. Anyways, at the start of the class, Miss Disa asked us about the lessons she taught us and if we learned/remembered anything from it. After that, we played Scrabble once more. Somehow Selim beat us again. Selim is insanely lucky in Scrabble for some reason. He had nearly double everyone's score. He had around 120 something points if I remember correctly. We then played Contexto after we finished playing Scrabble. I enjoyed AEP and had a lot of fun. Missed lying on my bed though. Second padlet (January 14, 2025). The class began with us playing Unlimited Wordle. It looked and seemed lik...

Busra D (AEP 3.1)

ITS ALREADY 3ND TRIMESTER THAT IS CRAZY. Time goes by so fast like flash I’m excited and nervous at the same time for this 3rd trimester!!  This time I will do my blog different , I’ll just explain what we did most of the time in AEP. Before we get to the main part of our topic of game we always play word puzzles to get our mind moving, it helps us not sleep in AEP heh. Sometimes we also play scrabble which is really fun. I lost my streak sadly :( Jia is really good I’m usually 2nd place. One of my core memorize is dogo news miss makes it so fun to read and has interesting topics ( just like the banana taped on the wall) it will never get out of my mind. We also do listening tasks which is alright I guess. Well anyways this 2nd trimester went by so fast hope to see you next time byeee!!!.

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...
