Newsletter

For my class we have a new project which consists of having a group of 3 to 4 people and making a newsletter. We each get to choose a topic containing information about homecoming week. My topic I have to write a section of the letter about is class color day. My class color is red. I am very excited to start this project and to see what everyone comes up with for their creative ideas. The people in my group are allison, mallory, molly, and I. I belive this project will be a little difficalt but fun while doing it. Tomorrow is tuesday and it is my day to take picture on the class color, so I am looking forward to walking around taking pictures all day. :)

intellectual goals

As a student I have many intellectual goals for myself. I plan on having A's and B's all through highschool and college. I plan on keeping with my good study habits to maintain these grades. As to right now, my study habits contain to coming straight home after any after-school activety, sitting down at the kitchen counter, and studying for at least 2 hours without any electronics near me. This year I am working hard to get a car because I will turn 16 over the summer and my grades depend on what type of car I will get. At home my parents have my siblings and I make goals for ourselves which really helps us to accomplish more, and at each report card we get a present if we accomplish our goals. For my future as a college student I want to be able to get good grades but also have a social life. I will try not to stay out late. For my first year of college I will focus extra hard on my studies and focus on how college works. When I become older I want to become a successesful person. I want to own my own business and come far in life.

Progress in class

This week we have worked on a powerpoint on a Saint of our choice. I chose Saint Paul. This project has been easy and fun. I have learned alot about St. Paul that I never knew before. I am looking forward to presenting it to the class. I hope they enjoy watching my powerpoint and learn as much information as I did. We have to have at least 8 informational slides all together and an introductional and works cited page. It has been a nice experiance working with powerpoint and getting to know how it works.

Emotional goals

I have many emotional goals in my life that I would like to accomplish. My main goal is to come closer with my parents and make them more involved in my life. When I have something on my mind I will try to go to them for help and advice, or when I have a problem I will ask if we can just sit down for a little while and talk. Since switching to Notre Dame, I have made a ton of new friends that I love being with and everyone is very nice to be around. I am very happy that I switched schools and I feel that it is probably one of the best things I have done. My siblings are both younger than me so we are not that close. I hope to be very close to them one day when we are older and more mature. When we were little, we use to play together all the time and now that I have gotten older, I have gotten busier and haven't had time to hang out with them. At school I love all of my teachers. They are all very nice and try to help me succeed in school. I am a cheerleader and I enjoy my coaches very much. They try to make me a better cheerleader as well as making sure I have a positive attitude all the time.

Spiritual goal for myself this year

This year I plan to bring myself closer with God. I will set a time every day to devote my time to God. I will try to pray more each day. I will try to sin less. I will try to be more like Jesus Christ. I will think daily about Jesus to see him more clearly and to love him more. I will try to attend church every sunday no matter what the situation. I will try to change my behaviors that are bad. Just like Jesus wants us to be, I will try to be like his disciples. I love Christ and try to obey him as nuch as possible.

Progress in class

The first couple weeks of technology applications class have went very well. I have made alot of progress. Right now we are just finishing up making a slideshow to one of our favorite songs. We each got to pick one of our favorite songs, make slides for it, and as soon as we are all done with that we will put the slides all together to make a movie. This project is one of the most fun projects I have ever done because I love music and just taking a song and breaking it down into lines and putting pictures with it is just very neat and exciting to me. I am enjoying this class and look forwarrd to the rest of the quarter.

Progress in class

Hey, I'm Kaitlyn Minor and I attend PND high school. In technology applications class we have made aton ofprogress. We have started 3 projects already and they have been very interesting. We have to se pages and numbers instead of Microsoft word because the school got new computers. I find Microsoft word easier to use because I am more experienced with using them. In class we have done a research paper about a banned book of our choice and created two spread sheets. I found the research paper to be rather easy, but the spreadsheets were more difficult. Technology Applications class is one of my favorite classes because there is no real homework and you get to do many fun projects. We are just starting to start a project where we will be using a song to make a slide show and then make a movie. I am looking forward to the ret of the year in this class.
