Aleena - BLOG #6 - Grade 8

 Back with another blog this time. Except, it’s extremely long. This week has been pretty hectic. Upcoming quizzes, projects, more homework and other assessments I have yet to accomplish! Also, final examinations are getting closer each day. Which means I have to study harder and hope for the best. Whoops! I kept you waiting for the blog. Okay here it is!


October 09 -  A Chaotic Squardle Game

From the time we started till the time we ended, I’m telling you, there wasn’t one minute of silence. There was always at least one person shouting. It was almost the end of the school day, and you could tell, I had no clue what the class was doing. Me, who doesn’t get enough sleep, was exhausted. But that didn’t stop me from participating in the game. The more words we got, the harder it got. As the easy words were guessed, we were left to ponder the remaining words, which was a bit difficult.  I found this tiring but on the bright side it made me communicate and work out the words with my fellow classmates. Which was extremely fascinating. Sadly, we weren’t able to guess all the words in time. Which was really devastating as I was really looking forward to accomplishing the game. Oh well, better luck next time!


October 09 - Preparation for the Vocab Quiz #5

It was pretty much the same as last week. But this time, Rayan was back with us. We each got 2 words to find the definition of, which was super easy. When it came to the time when everyone had finished looking for the definitions of the words, we had started the Vocab game. Somehow, both of my words came first. Which was surprising as I didn’t expect for that to come first. As normal, everyone had gotten their words. Until it came to Rayan, who had a hard time in Aep. I’m not sure what word he was given, but he was the only one who didn’t get the word's meaning correct. Which led us to getting 19/20 in the game. It’s alright, because I know he will improve overtime.


October 09 - Seatwork

 This seatwork was slightly hard but not easy. I had to write and answer the type of dress given in the picture. But there was more. We had to match words with their meanings, except these words I wasn’t really familiar with. I found this seatwork pretty fun to say the least because I was able to learn the different names of dresses. I didn’t know there were names for dresses (literally I didn’t know these dresses existed). Welp, that concludes it. I found this day extremely interesting and entertaining. I hope we have more Aep meetings just like this one because Oh boy! Was it super fun!


October 10 - Quordle

Playing Quordle after a long period of time, felt sort of strange. As warmups, we would always play Squardle which I’m used to. But playing a game which we did back in Grade 7 was really refreshing. There’s so many games out there such as Wordle,Waffle and many more. I tend to forget which one is which. We were able to successfully finish the game in 5:56 minutes (yes I remember that). Playing Quordle brought back so many memories, sometimes we really struggled in Quordle (back in grade 7) or easily accomplished it under 6 minutes.


October 10 - Continuation of the Seatwork ;0

This seatwork which we did was a bit hard. But we were able to do it. My group members were Kuk, Mysha and my dearest, wonderful Summer. I feel like Summer and Mysha pretty much carried the group, but I tried my best to contribute. As I was reading the text, they had already started to answer, which left me behind. Eventually, I catched up and figured out the answers with them. I’m not sure if we were correct, but at least we answered it. 


I had always found English difficult and stressful. I never thought I could do these things including hard seatworks and Squardle. But doing these things all together makes the learning experience much more enjoyable and amusing.

“When working together, difficult tasks become achievable.”


Thank you.

AEP BLOG 3.1 - Summer Rose S. Valdez

           The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of maps and musicals, and it's quite fun.          March 5, 2025 - I Went on A Vacation...Somewhere      We began with a unique warmup this time.  By turns, we all had to say a new place on the map.  Each person has to retrace the steps of all the previous and so on.  I did not do well, but I didn't jot down notes of everyone's locations on my notebook anyway.  It was a memory game.  Afterwards, Miss taught us how one can remember things by remembering a place they visit often - by associating the different keywords with different objects or areas.     After that, we moved on to worksheets.  These worksheets involved maps and places and tenses.  For some reason, I forgot the difference between the past tenses.  Thankfully, though, I remembered what passive tense was.  Simple English fundamentals like types of...

Blog 3.1 - moving too fast? - huda g11

  From juggling multiple homework and exams to participating in the musical, parliament, varsity and maintaining a social life, the days seem to blur together in a relentless stream of busyness. It's easy to get caught up in the chaos and lose track of time, which left me constantly feeling like having to keep on picking myself up again to start the next new thing. Despite the chaotic nature of this school year, it's important to take a moment to pause and give ourselves a small break. I think that is where AEP comes in line. With the moderate pace of learning new vocabulary, which I have found to be very useful considering I've passed by many familiar vocabs as I go on with my studies ehehehe, AEP gives me a sense of pause to my hustling life with its conversation-filled lessons incorporated with productive discussions on the words as well as the inclusion of what I would see it as “old-style” learning. The idea of bringing back the usual norm before covid of ‘pen and pape...

i stopped counting the blogs at dis point

       Ah boy here we go again Another week, another blog about random stuff. Holy hell everything moves so fast that I feel like I could take a nap and suddenly miss 21 different events. it's a little odd when you get pulled out of your usual schedule and are forced to do a practice exam but like 'they' say: "practice makes perfect." also been rewatching RVB, kinda sad cuz Rooster Teeth decided in a Hail Mary attempt to earn some of that sweet moolah that they should make a large majority of their shows paywalled on yt and you have to use the inconsistent official Rooster Teeth website that is absolutely plagued with stunky add that no one wants. yeah more ads than YOUTUBE ,  AND THEY'RE ALL UNSKIBBABLE BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY ARE AND YOU GET 4 OF THEM EVERY EPISODE (some at the start and then some midroll ads). I know it is to push people to join their site and subscribe to FIRST but Oh ho hoh man... that is a level above despicable.
