Newsletter on Homecoming

Now this blog post is about the progress we have made on our Homecoming Newsletter. Well, it says on the website that the Newsletter was due on the 26th? Well I really hope that isn't true because we are not too far along. Homecoming just ended yesterday right? Anyway, we have two out of the four of our articles written and we have the template picked out and we know exactly what were going to do with it. I have some great pictures from Twin Day and some pictures from Homecoming, so hopefully I will be able to figure out how to download those pictures onto the Macs.

Nurturing our Physical Development

This week we are to post how we are going to nurture out physical development. Honestly, after reading the mission statement twice, I really dont know how I'm going to do that. I can't really tell now if I'm going to grow taller or physically change in any way. I guess though I'll try to nurture my "physical development" by trying to stay healthy this year because I hate missing school because of sickness. Also, by trying to stay fit and not to get injured at all. Especially not during soccer season! I hope I never tear my ACL!

Homecoming Newsletter

Hello!!! New Topic: Thoughts about the homecoming newsletter. Well our class hasn't really started working on it, but it sounds fun. I'm doing it with Emily O'Neill and Kaitlyn Schlink. So we haven't really decided what articles each of us are writing either. We're all supposed to write two or three articles I think having to do somewhat with homecoming. Also, the project is supposed to be on Pages. I don't remember if we have worked on it or not, all the Mac programs sound familiar to me. See ya!

Nurture the "intellectual" spirit?

Hello everyone. Well it's 5:46 right now Sunday night, and I have had a great weekend!!! How about everyone else? So this week we are supposed to write about how we are going to nurture our intellectual spirit I think. Well, I shall try that by just trying to do my best in all my classes. I think I'm going to need to do a bit better in Laird's class beacuse I think I like failed the test Friday. I'm sure many people could relate...Anyway I'm going to just try to study hard for all my tests and do all my homework and just work hard.

Now, we have to post another comment on our saint powerpoints. I'm doing Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta. She's not really a saint, but she's very close to becoming one. Her canonization is pending. Anyway, it's not that different working with powerpoint on a Mac compared to powerpoint on a PC. It was different working with the storyboards, but powerpoint is more familiar. My powerpoint is exactly eight slides I think and I am not looking forward to presenting it.

Well, right now it's sunday and I'm doing my homework and apparently we have to post a comment on how we are going to nurture our emotional development this year at school according to our mission statement. This year, I'll try to nurture my emotional development by making good friends, keeping up with school, and trying not to stress out. Also, by trying to stay happy and positive and not being negative.

Okay, I found out today what Mrs.Brown meant about all the posts and comments, and I have to post one right now about the Peoria Notre Dame Mission statement and how I'm going to try to nurture my spiritual development this year. Well, our mission statement is "teaching the Catholic faith and leading students to be Dicsiples of Christ" and "teaching the arts and sciences in a climate of academic inquiry." Well, I guess I shall try to nurture my spiritual development by mainly trying to be the best person I can be. For example, like trying to be patient with school and sports, being respectful, responsible, caring, and trying to apply good works to every single day.

Well, it's almost 5:00 pm and I officially hate Mondays. I'm studying for three tests for tomorrow and I am not enjoying it. As for computer class, I like the storyboards we're making. They look like they will turn out pretty neat, but I don't know how to use the transitions or how to add the music! I think we need to take an entire class period and learn how to do all of that stuff because I am totally lost! Also, I really like how air conditioned the computer room is.

Hello! Welcome to my blog!
~My name is Tricia and I'm a sophmore in high school writing this right now at 7:10 pm. I made this for my 8th hour computer class. We have been working with Macs and have discovered many new things. I think the best is the little camera on the top of the screen! Anyway, we searched banned books, used numbers to make spreadsheets, made blogs like this, and are now working on storyboards. I think our class is moving a little fast, and we need to take it a little slower so everyone is on the same page. Comment my blog!
