AEP BLOG #3.3d - Summer Rose S. Valdez

 


        Well, well, well.  Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Summer Valdez's very last AEP blog for this school year!  Haha sorry, enough of that now.


        I am absolutely dumbfounded that, finally, I am writing an AEP blog for the last time this school year.  So much has happened, yet it all somehow flashed past our eyes.  Why is that?  Can memories last forever?


        So much has happened since the start of the school year, and I have learnt so much.  To think that it's finally come to an end feels peculiar and while exciting, a bit bittersweet.

May 6 - "I Love This Class"

    We begin with one of the last Squaredle games we'll play this school year.  This time though, we had a 15 minute time limit.  Our class failed to completely solve it before then, but we managed to finish it anyways shortly after.


    Studying last minute isn't easy.  But when there's an AEP vocabulary quiz you forgot about, you have no option but to try to the best of your abilities to understand each and every word.  Thankfully, we had several exercises before the actual quiz itself to give us time to learn and understand the new words.


    Something I vividly remember during the lessons of that day was the energy radiating in the classroom.  Perhaps I usually take this for granted, but I've never realized how fun it is to be in an AEP class.  The casual banter, silly remarks from Miss Disa, and everyone in the class really make a memorable experience.  I recall Aleena saying, "I love this class" multiple times throughout the AEP classes which made me realize how every precious moment will merely become a memory, and appreciating every second is crucial.



May 7 - "Vowel, Please!"

    It was a very fun AEP class.  We played a game where you must find the longest word possible from a random group of letters we would select by saying, "vowel please," or "consonant please".  It was an exciting way to get merits and exercise our vocabulary-stuffed brains (or so we think).  To my surprise, I did pretty decently and ended up with 5 points or merits.  And to my surprise, a bunch of my other classmates did really well too!  Seeing myself and my classmates improve in utilizing the English language throughout the year is very fascinating.




    I certainly did not expect time to fly by this fast.  They always warn you about it, but you still never end up realizing it.  Perhaps enjoying the moment as is is better than worrying about the future.  Grade 8 AEP was an absolute blast of enjoyment and education.  I will miss this, but thankfully, our amazing teacher makes us write blogs about our lessons so even if the memories fly by, I can reminisce on little bits and enjoy them like how I once did.  

And as I type the my last blog of the year, I relive those precious little moments recorded in a humble AEP notebook.


"I love this class!"


So do I, Aleena.  So do I.




💓 See you next year!

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.
