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.

yet another blog for this week

 yet again we do the thing where we type what we remember about the stuff that happened this week. So, there's not much tbh, there isn't much going on other than I picked up EP again since I think I'm suffering withdrawal with notoriety getting taken down and I'm cooking some video I made with someone showcasing some stupid shenanigans. So yeah is fine cruising so far (but so far)

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...

Aleena Imran - Blog #4 - Grade 8 :)

  This week was quite enlightening. Our first lesson was very interesting. We got to learn about different school uniforms and what people wear to school. We started learning by listing as much clothing people wear to school as possible as a group work. My team was Dharanika and Summer who listed loads of words, sadly some of them didn’t count.  Following that, we discussed the parts of a uniform. I found this class super engaging as I got to expand my vocabulary in terms of clothing.  To pass a few more minutes, we wrote down what we were wearing. This session was a bit tiring and fun at the same time. The second day was more relaxing and refreshing. As we basically were assigned 1-2 words from Unit 4 and searched in the dictionary for their meanings. Which was pretty amusing and calm. After that, we did a crossword. Sadly, I wasn’t able to get my words in time as someone else had found it first. From there on, we all were tested about the definitions of our words. I enj...
