Check-In Letter

Hi Ms. Priester,

How are you doing? I have been doing great. I've been working hard on catching up with my missing assignments for your class. So far I only finished 16 assignments and still increasing, but I think I'm going to need some help on some things. My day has been going good so far and I'm hoping that the end of this quarter I have at least a 2.5 or a 3.0.

I'll see you in summer school. We are going to have a lot of fun together. Can't wait until spend my whole summer vacation with my favorite teacher. I want to pass the 10th grade so I don't have to be behind on credits. This experience would be beneficial to me because it's letting me know that I need to work harder and get all of my work done and turned in on time.

This year's extra curricular activities were very hard with not being eligible to any of them. I don't want to be on academic probation when football comes around next year. I was on the baseball team and it was something I enjoyed doing, but I didn't stay on top of my school work and I wasn't eligible to play anymore.

Fourth Quarter Goals

My goals are very simple for fourth quarter. My plan is to try to get a 2.5 or a 3.0. I have a great support group who support me every step of the way, improving my grades. Another one of my goals is to improve my behavior in class and try to stay focus on my work. I have been noticing that my behavior has change but it’s okay. I’m sticking to these goals because I want to graduate with my Sophomore class. It’s is going to be awesome n shocking if I get an outstanding GPA this year. I’m looking forward to the awards assembly.

Testing Tips, Strategies, and Plays Reflection

Knowing tips, strategies, and plays can help me on testing because they are given hints. My feelings about the upcoming CST is very relaxed. I'm not worried about it because if I follow the tips and strategies, it would make the questions easier and if I know my material it would make the questions more understandable. I just need to take deep breathes and not spend too much time on one question. I think I'm going to do great on the CST this year. I hope all of my classmates pass the upcoming CST. This is going to be a lot of fun.

SPA Fest was on Saturday and I had a friend come over. My friend is more like a sister to me than a friend because she is on my behind about school work. The worst part was last week when she had Becky made sure that I did my work. It made me feel like I was living in a nightmare. But in the end, it's worth it because I don't have to worry about if I failed or not. I know that I have people caring about my education because they don't want me to end up in the streets like a bum on a sidewalk.

Third Quarter Awards Review

My reflection about the assembly was good. I was not feeling good at the time because I had a fever, but It was desent. My favorite part was when we left for lunch because I needed medical attention really bad. Even though I didn't get an award, I'll try to get one next qaurter. It inspired me to get my work done and getting a 3.0 for fourth quarter. To acomplish this goal, I will turn in all of my work, study for tests, and pay attention in class. One part of the assembly that I really liked was when Johnny from the cafe got recognized by the Y.E.S. program and Ms. Taylor. Another part that I liked was when the Friends of San Pasqual recognized some of the students for their hard work.

“Switch” Play Audience Member Experience

My experience as an audience member at the Playwrights Project Project play “Switch” was quite intriguing and emotional. There was a part in the play that I related to when I was a little boy. When C.P.S. took the kid away from his mother. It gave me a flashback of when they took my sisters and I away from my grandmother. I liked how the play was structured and how it was put together. I would really recommend this play for people to see how our lives are. It was an amazing experience for me.
