Blog 4 - OCT 1 - Mysha M

I just realized I never submitted my blog sdklgjasd (WHOOPSIE DAISY) I wrote this on Oct 1 i promise Welcome back people! It's been a while since our last blog, and tons of new experiences have since accumulated. If I'm correct, we last left off on August 21. 41 days ago. Woah. A lot has happened since then: our first midterms, Buwan ng Wika, camping, yada, yada. Aside from all that, AEP still holds its spot as the highlight of most weeks, and in the time since our last blog, much more has happened in our cosy little class. Miss had introduced a new game called Squaredle! It's essentially wordle + word search, and it has to be one of my favourites so far. Our class devoured Squaredle it was the only game in which we all worked on, and with 11 people, that's pretty impressive.

The main issue I have with Squaredle though, is that it takes a crazy long time. A decently sized game could take up to one period, and even smaller ones use up roughly 20 minutes. I guess it's better than doing seatwork though. Actually, talking about seatwork, the stuff Miss assigned this past month has been a lot of fun. When we were on the topic of schools, she made us brainstorm all articles of clothing that would be allowed in the building (alas, not on Fridays for some reason). I argued my butt off. I swear, Miss was being hard on me and my 76 examples. Even with my many, many rejections, I enjoyed it. We also tried another way to expand our vocabulary. We tried out how the Grade 7 did their quizzes, which was a lot easier than ours. We were given 1-2 words that we had to learn the meaning of, then Miss would spin the wheel and whoever's word was chosen had to define it.

I'm loving AEP so far, I genuinely didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did last year, with all the additional new students, severe lack of scrabble, and Filiz leaving, but honestly, after two months of it, AEP is just as hype as ever. I'm so looking forward to the rest of the year!

Sigh, I really do need to learn my native language though. Sometimes I forget I'm a full Filipina.

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.
