Hey there, everyone! It's so great to be connecting with you all through our first blog post of the year 2024. A little late but a very Happy New Year to you all! I hope you guys are doing well and keeping up with your New Year's resolutions. As for me, after a long break, coming back to school was quite a challenge. But after spending the whole week rotting in bed, getting back on track was possibly the best thing for my body.
Anyway, let me catch you up with the AEP class progression. Miss Disa was still enjoying her lovely vacation in her sweet homeland in the UK, so we were bound to stay in our homeroom with the Filipino students. As Sir Macky was absent as well, we got Sir Whey as our substitute teacher. He passed Miss Disa's instructions to complete two essays already posted in our Google Classroom. While the Filipino students were reciting their coursebook in groups, we, the AEP students, were focused on writing down the assigned essays. I tried to do essay number 1 first as my brain comprehended the image much faster. It was basically about the production of cement and how it is then utilized to make concrete. Whereas, the diagram of the second essay was about brick production, and I was still confused about what was happening in some of the steps. I only finished the first essay on the day, but I still felt like it needed some polishing, which I later did at home.
The next day, our substitute teacher was none other than Miss Jonna. Having four periods a day with Miss Jonna was not something I was looking forward to. Well, I was kind of freaked out at first, thinking she would provide us with some works for English, but thankfully, Miss Disa had already assigned us a worksheet we needed to complete, which I would do any day over an English task. The worksheet consists of crosswords from Unit 9 vocab. We just had to solve the crosswords and find out the meaning of those words from an online dictionary. Miss Jonna looked through the paper once and asked us to circle the word we already knew the meaning of to determine our English level. As per her instruction, I ended up circling 5-6 words among those which proves my vocabulary knowledge is not that immense, which means I still have a lot to learn! I was done with the worksheet pretty quickly and after submitting it, in the remaining minutes, I finished editing my essay #1 from the last day, and I was happy to get it done and dusted!
Miss Disa finally returned the following week, however, her device for the board was taken to our classroom as our smartboard had malfunctioned. Unfortunately, we were not able to play our traditional warm-up games due to this. The class was short, and we simply revised the vocabulary of unit 9 to prepare for the quiz the next day.
Finally, on the next day, we were able to play SQUARDLE as our warm-up game as Miss Disa had gotten her device back. After that, we took our vocabulary quiz, and everyone managed to obtain a perfect score! It was a great start to the year.
After a short break, Miss Disa dictated a perfectly written IELTS essay on cement and concrete production, which we had to copy down. Once we wrote down the entire essay, we were given another 10 minutes break. Later on, we reviewed the structure of writing an essay, and in the following week, we will be writing the same essay again.
That was the start of the AEP classes. I'll be back next week for another block and will keep you updated on what happens. Until then, take care and goodbye!
