The Literacy Games: Day 2

The game that I enjoyed the most was called Wizard poetry. In this game I studied the following skills of figurative language. In order to win this game I had to read riddles and figure out if it was alliteration, simile, metaphor, or just rhyme. The thing I enjoyed most about this game was I had to go from room to room, looking for creatures that have riddles. My partner was Mark Clark. He was the winner.

My partner was Mark again but this time, I won. To play this game go to this linkhttp://www.quia.com/ba/55203.html

A Persuasive Essay

I believe that students should have physical education and health in class. Students need to run around and exercise. Students also need to learn about the body. Taking physical education is a great way to help you stay in shape. Taking health class lets you learn about the body and teaches students about whats good and whats not. This is why I believe students should have physical education and health.
Here, in C.I.S 339x, during physical education, what we know as gym, we exercise as our warm-up, then do physical fitness activities. We play fun activities like kickball, basketball, and more. Sometimes, we have a day for just fitness where we can do push-ups, sit-ups, weight lifting, and more. Physical education is an important way to stay in shape.
During health class, I am learning about food in the food pyramid on the website known as mypyramid.gov. There are six different groups:grains, fruit, vegetables, oils, meat and beans, and milk. We learn how to take control of our diet. That is very important to know. These are the reasons why I believe that students should have physical education and health in class.

Journal Assignment Two-Step Equations

Name: Desire Ramos
T-mobile charges $34.99 a month for phone service. They also charge $0.48 per minute for long distance calls. If Joshua's bill was $64.75, how many minutes of long distance calls did she make?

Part A - Write an equation that can be used to solve the problem.

Equation: $64.75 = $34.99 + $0.48m

Part B - Solve your equation and answer the question in a complete

sentence.

($64.75 - $34.99) ÷ $0.48

($29.76) ÷ $0.48

62

I got my answer by first subtracting $34.99 from $64.75. My answer was $29.76. Next, I divided $0.48 into $29.76. The quotient was 62. My answer was 62 minutes or 1 hour and 2 minutes.

My Social Studies Reflection

So far in social studies, I have learned many things. Write now I am learning about many things. I learned about the Boston Massacre, The Acts,(The Stamp Act and The Tea Act), and more. But all of these things led to the American Revolution. The Boston Massacre was many deaths. It was between the colonists and the British. This started from the acts. These acts were passed down by the British. The colonists had no say. This made the colonists angry. The colonists attacked British Soldiers. They threw rocks and sticks at them. The Soldiers panicked and started shooting. Six colonists were killed and three colonists were injured. The British and the Colonies went to war, known as the American Revolution.

Football

The Game
Football is rough

But It's kind of fun
People yelling OUCH

Though they have the strength to run

BOOM...The football is kicked up in the air
I'm on fire
When I play
And I better go higher

I'm the one
My name is Desire

Pancakes

Pancakes

Fizz,Fizz
Look at me
I'm making pancakes
All so buttery

Flip,Flop
I'm turning it around
After eating, gotta clean
With out making a sound

The Native American Museum

I learned that Native Americans aren't really Indians. They were being called Indians over and over again just because their language wasn't understandable to Christopher Columbus and his people. The dresses females wore was made by hand for themselves and their daughters. Different styles are used for anything they wear. Every mask and dress had its own story. I learned that Native Americans know exactly where they come from. My tour guide, William, is from a mountain. It was a really cool experience.

The Magnetic Poem

Hello

Then we'll eat two raccoons 'till I'm blue

The Senses

My Five Senses!
I feel the smooth softness
Of my baby brothers skin

I smell the smell
Of the roses my mom was given

I see the colorful blinking lights
Of sirens every night

I hear my sisters cry
Over the scary movies that give them fright

I taste the tasty treat
And sleep for the rest of the week

My Reflection 3/13/09

The math exam Book 1 was very easy to me. It was not at all difficult? The Book 1 was multiple choice. It was also easy because the math, to me, wasn't at all that hard. It was the easiest test of all. I know I did well on Book 1.

The math exam Book 2 was a little more complicated. To me, it was difficult. There was no multiple choice so I had to be careful with what I did and made sure it was absolutely 100% sure correct. The math exam Book 2 was more difficult than Part 1. I think I got a 4 on the math exam. I get 4's every year and this year was the easiest. I believe I finished with 20 minutes left on both exams. I checked my work over and over again making sure to get a 100% on both. I did excellent.

Yesterday's poetry quiz was easy. All we had to do was write. The answer were easy but I just had a lot to write. The poetry quiz today was even better because all I had to do was go back to the poem and find the answer. I think I passed the test. I was prepared for this test because I knew what to expect and I knew what to look for.

Aim: How do we evaluate algebraic expressions?

12x= 12*X...12 x X...X x 12...X*12

4/y= 4/y

3xy/2= (3x)y)/2...3yx/2

The difference between a variable and a constant is that a variable is a number replaced by a letter that can be varied or changed. A constant is a value that never changes.

HARD APPLES

Harsh hard, heavy apples
Eight apples that hurt a lot
Ached my tooth, made me cry
But really hi the spot

The dumby, dumb, dull dentist
Made me jump with all his tools
Then he said, "I'm pulling teeth"
He really pulled out two

MY FAMILY

My mom is a super hero
Strong like stone

My dad is my life
Like a never ending world

My big bro-lick brother yells
"FIRE" at target practice

My sisters are precious silver pearls
Shiny, Silver, Sweet

My baby bro is my secret star
"Goo goo ga ga" he cries

This is my family
This is my life

MY MOM AND I

Ramos
Thats my last name
I am short like a mouse
My mom is a super-hero
The END

An other Limmerick

THE SMILING CLOWN AT THE SEA
The Corney clown clowned
Googly goofed and drowned
He swam,he struggled, and cried
He thought he almost died
He survived but with a frown

My limerick: Football

The football was thrown
A 70 yard pass in the zone
"1st down," the ref. screamed
Sweating under the sun that beamed
We scored with the win, behind the cone!
