 December 11, 2024 - Hurdle Defeats us


Starting off a game never knowing it will defeat us is truly the most humbling experience in AEP. And in this case, it was Hurdle. Everyone thinks it’s over, but it always comes back to us. It’s truly a battle, a battle between choosing which letters were correct and the placement of it. It was quite humbling to see at the end how blind we were during the game.


We did a worksheet that included a graph and filled in the blanks. Other than that, we all recited one detail about a different graph and also read example answers. It wasn’t too difficult or anything like that since I adapted to doing these types of activities.


January 8, 2025 - Defeated once again


Once again, Hurdle returns to us. But it was quite different, it was somewhat similar to wordle, but you do it multiple times in a row until you lose. To our surprise, we lost after three games. It was quite devastating but oh well.


In our worksheets, it included how to describe pie charts. We went over the worksheets for a bit and then wrote a few sentences as practice. It was quite a coincidence since we were also learning pie charts in our math class


January 15, 2024 -   Duotrigordle?


We tried a new warm up called Duotrigordle, it was doing 37 wordles at once. It was actually quite interesting as we had to think of multiple words at the same time. Also, after completing the first words only gives us hints for the following words to be guessed. The surprising thing is we guessed with a perfect amount of guesses, we also did better than the others graders. It was actually a fun warmup that took around 20 minutes.  


Next, we wrote a few sentences that included the main points about a pie chart which was pretty easy. Then, Miss went around and asked for our scores that we think we deserve, I said 10/10. Although my sentences  weren't the best, it definitely wasn’t wrong, it could be better. As our last task of the day, we wrote 5-6 sentences about a pie chart regarding the energy usage in the USA in 1980 and 1990. The topic wasn’t necessarily relevant, the main focus was our grammar and sentence structure.  Since Miss teaches us how to properly structure sentences regarding pie charts, I found it quite easy and simple to do. 


January 22, 2025 - Pie charts again?


We started off with a classic but easy game of ours, Wordle. Since we’re already experts at this, it took only three tries to guess the word, which was “Reach”. Summer had guessed the word. 


Then Miss handed out our notebooks, and one by one checked our mistakes from our previous sentence about a pie chart. Some of us struggled with sentence structure, so we discussed that for a bit. After that, to see if we learned anything from our previous sentences, we rewrote the same sentences but way better. 


As our last task for the lesson, we received a new pie chart to write four sentences about. It was about the ways Australia and Canada get access to their news such as looking up online or watching television. I quite enjoyed this lesson as I got to learn from my previous mistakes which I found really helpful. Last but not least, we ended off with a game of Sectordle.

"Before The Coffee Gets Cold" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi || Book Synopsis

In a hidden café tucked away in all the bustle of Tokyo, disconsolate patrons are given the rare chance to travel back in time. But, there’s a catch: they must return to the present before the coffee in front of them cools, or risk losing themselves eternally in the past.  " Before The Coffee Gets Cold ", a novel by author Toshikazu Kawaguchi, tells of four heartwarming, contemplative tales of a magical cafe's patrons that all interweave in the most little, yet enchanting ways. The first, a forlorn woman who seeks to mend a strained relationship before it becomes irrevocably broken, while the second hopes to acquire an explanation from a departed companion. A third character wishes to revist and undo a moment of regret, and the final traveler longs for one final brush with someone they had lost. 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...
