My Progress Working On Flash


The only thing that is hard for me is you know where the timeline is,well that's where I get all my mind confused well,I'm really working on that for me to understand it better and to not ask Ms.Miller again that I don't get this,or that my timeline is messed up.I think that if it would've been quieter,I would've understand it better with the timeline,so we really need to work on that, so we wont ask Ms.Miller that we should already known.I think that it is really important to remember the coding because if Ms.Miller isn't here and we have to do Flash with another teacher,and the teacher doesn't know,then we will have to do it by ourselves,but if we do remember all that coding then we wont have too much difficulties with it.I mean it's not that hard to remember all those codes all you have to do it practice and then memorize them,so you wont be all that lost and behind.I don't think that Flash is hard it's only the timeline that worries me too much because on March 24,2010,I really had a difficult time fixing my timeline because I thought that my timeline was messed up,but the thing was that,I wasn't paying too much attention that's where I got really lost,well,I do really need more practice with it.I do really agree that talking did distract me from paying attention,so it's really clearly that we do really really need to work on,on being quiet when the teacher is talking.The reason that I said yes to that question is because,others are trying to pass this class and get good grades so that we can go to where there are games,so I don't really think that it is fair to the others that are trying to learn while others are talking.I think it does help me because it shows you how to do the things better and it really has the name "FLASH TUTORIALS" so it's really nice of Ms.Miller let us watch the video first so we can see what we need to do and then try to do it.It's really helping me a lot with my progress.Since I said yes for question #5,I don't really think that GLOBALORIA needs to improve more because it shows all of the details that we need to do in Flash.The ways that I can make myself for me to understand Flash better is to pay more close attention in what the teacher is talking about and what to do.The main reason that I get lost is because everybody is talking at the same time and that makes it harder for me and for the others to learn and pay attention on what she is telling us to do.I really feel comfortable with Flash because it's really easy for me,except the timeline well,you know that I have to practice more on that,but I do feel good with the other stuff.I think it will help me in the future because what if I want to become lets say,a Flash Expert.I want to be good at it and I don't want to make errors.That's the reason that it will help me in the future.Those are my feelings of Flash.

What I'm going to do for Spring Break


The things that I'm going to do during Spring Break are,well first of all,Monday I'm going to work with my mom a place called,"Fonda San Miguel" it's mostly a restaurant were people eat and have other people sing to them for them to have a relaxing day.When I enter there,I meet adult friends and their names are Willie,and Angel in Spanish.When we have done greeting them,I help my mom make ice creams for her not to work on Tuesday.When we have finished with that for about 2:00,we pick up my grandma and we go back home since my brother has Spring Break too!I'm not really sure what I am going to do I think I'll just get sleep because this time of the year is when I have to get serious because,we have TAKS test in April 27th and the 29th,so I'm really worried about that,but no worries because I'm getting the extra tutoring that I need that has to be required and that makes my head and myself to be smart enough to pass the Taks test.I really watch my favorite novelas they are programs that are in Spanish even though they are not being serious.I like to watch my favorite channel that is called CW4KIDS because it's about sonic and yugioh,and all those kinds of cartoons that are in these days.That's one of the things that I like the most because I like to eat at the couch and watch TV.Well,I think that's about it what I am going to do during Spring Break!

Field Day


On Field Day we were doing activities that were so fun that Ms.Penticuff made a game of throwing Pies at her,but we could only throw a pie at her if we answered a question correctly of RADIUS,DIAMETER,and CIRCUMFERENCE.Well,it wasn't that easy to answer the questions.Well anyways,I really really had a fun day because the teachers and the principal were so kind to us because I don't think if we had gone to another school,we wouldn't have all that fun and wont have all those activities to play,that's why I think that they were so kind to us to make this a fun day!There were some problems that caused a lot of trouble,and for that reason we went inside because some students were really bad in the day and they think that it is fun for them to do those things,but I can tell them that they are wrong because some students think that it is funny to break the rules,but I think that it's not really fair.Why?Because the teachers thought really hard of going home with a fun day and have SPRING BREAK for us to not get a boring day doing work all day,but the teachers might notice that we can't handle it with having fun.Besides that,I think that everyone was having more fun on playing football and throwing Ms.Penticuff a cake at her face!I really had fun in the station of playing football,since I don't how to play football or catch it,but I tried my best and i did it good!That was like in the middle of the day and I think that we could've done it better if we had behaved better.Anyways,I did enjoy the day with my friends!

The Visit From Shannon Sullivan From Globaloria


What I learned from her visit was when she tells us to tell her something,we should do it,especially when we are shy to speak up to the others.The thing that surprised me was that she is really caring for our game on how it's supposed to be like really perfect,well,not perfect,but it has to show Math into it that's why I think she is really caring with people and I think whenever someone is really sad,she can help the person to be cheered up!Her instruction was to introduce ourselves as a team so when she comes back,she will know us as a team.The other instruction was to look at the examples at the school at Sandy River School,so we can have an idea of the 8th graders putting Math into our game.My Team named Flash,did a really good job on answering questions that Ms.Miller gave us to answer.An example of a question that she gave us to answer was "What is one thing that you liked about the team that you read about?"Well,we answered about the flash things when you click on it it flashes.We answered them good and Ms.Miller gave us a 100 for paying good attention to the team that made that page that it looked so perfect.The way I feel about Flash is that I know more about it how to update our files in another way so nobody can mess with it and to not erase it.The way I feel about changing a FLA to a SWF is that it will help me a lot because I will not ask help for the teacher because Ms.Miller showed me another way to do it much more easier than the other one.The way it could help me in the future is if I want to DRAW INN FLASH one time I will know how to save my files in my DESKTOP so I wont have a difficulty doing it.That's the way I feel about Flash and the visit of Shannon.

Team Progress


Our team is really starting to get along because they really know the consequences of the teacher for not getting along,and they usually work as a team and my teams name is Team Flash and we did like that team name because we are really going to work on Flash.They get along because we usually work together all the time for our game to be prepared.There are still some unresolved issues and it's one of my teammates and their names are Erik and Chris O..Well the problem with Erik is that he talks too much during instruction and really distracts other people for them to finish their game and be as well the others,we are still working on that issue.The other issue is with Chris F.because he is usually like talks to the other people and really gets annoying with him and he really gets off task and then doesn't want to do the work and doesn't want to help.We are still working on that issue.Actually my team does help me a lot with the assignments when it comes for them to do their part.They usually help me too with the questions like for example when it was March 8,2010 with the lady that was named Ms.Shannon and they helped me with the questions that she asked me since I'm Team Captain.The thing that I don't like is that they are always going away and don't know what's going on.Our game is really going pretty well because now that we are in groups,the stuff of last semester is not that hard like we know have team roles and someone that can help us with it.My topic was better because last semester I presented my introduction and I did pretty well with it and my team did decide my topic so they are the ones who said it,but it really was worth it because my topic did have to do with EDUCATION,so that makes a lot of sense to me.Those are my thoughts of my team progress and I hope we do better with the talking and the drama!
