Aleena Imran - BLOG 3.3 - Grade 8

 This is officially the last blog I’ll be writing for aep this year. It seems so sad that this school year has come to an end. So many things happened, but you don’t even realize it because it went so fast and now it’s just memories. The school year overall went by insanely fast, I barely remember what occurred during the first few months of the school year. And this is why I say to enjoy things while it’s happening, because it’s not gonna last forever, just cherish the moments while you can. And this is the last time I’ll be saying this.

Without further ado, let the blog begin!


May 6th, 2024 - Surprise, Vocab quiz!

We started off with our squardle as usual, it contained 62 words. But this time we played it a bit differently, we had a 15 minute limit to guess all the words in time in order to get 10 merits. Ms chose Rayan to hold the pen but it didn’t turn out that well. He did not understand any word anyone would say. So Mysha just stole the pen from him, I love that. It was super fun, everybody was yelling and honestly I was enjoying it for once. After Mysha, Aire took the pen. But sadly, we didn’t end up getting the words in the time limit but Miss was kind enough to let us continue doing it, we were super close anyway. We can say it was a bit chaotic.


After all of that, we started reviewing for the vocab quiz which some people didn’t know. We started off with the crossword, which I was a bit too excited for. We restarted it and then each person took a turn to cross out a word and then read the meaning out loud, so everyone could hear it. Next we did the sentences on the website, Sid actually answered most of the questions. He was pretty quick. We also did the definitions on the website too, it was also pretty speedy.


And what we have all been waiting for, the vocab quiz! As usual Ms had the wheel of names which contained the words. We all went around the room getting asked to spin the wheel. Each person took turns asking Ms to spin the wheel, some people got it and some people didn’t. Ms allowed the people who didn’t get it to get a second chance, someone like Rayan celebrated when he got it, “YES!”. I only got one word which was pivotal, which means essential.


Lastly, we continued the seatwork. The seatwork was about finding the main idea of the passage and to make a summary about it. It was old seatwork we hadn’t finished yet, that’s why I was confused when we received the paper. I did like three exercises which I think are pretty good. The topic was about ninjas which I think is pretty odd. And that was the last of what we did for today!


May 7th, 2024 - No warmup?

It was a bit different today as you can tell by the title, we had no warmup. I didn’t realize it until I started playing a game. The game was making words out of the 8-11 letters we chose, whoever got the highest number of letters in one word, won merits. But first to choose the letters, we all went around the classroom and either said “consonant please ” or “vowel please”. I found it quite difficult to do but I was surprised to hear that other people were able to find words with loads of letters. Somehow even Hyeono thought of an eight letter word, which was Homepage. We kept on playing repeatedly, to be exact ,seven times.


Lastly, we played a super quick game of Contexto. But the thing was, we only had five minutes left to figure out the word. We were guessing terribly at the start but got a little closer every time we guessed. The bell rang for next class which meant we weren’t able to finish the Contexto game. Better luck next time!

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.
