SPRING

Dear blog viewers,

                             This week I am here to tell you the uniqe power of spring. Spring is a very beatiful blossoming season. Not too hot, but not too cold, just perfect. Spring starts in the Northern Hemisphere and is indicated by vernal equinox which occurs on March 20 or 21. Te Southern Hemisphere sees it as the beginning of autumn because they are on the opposite side of us and so they ahve the opposite season. Just as some of us learned in Mr. Lothian's science class the spring and autumn eqinox take place at the same time. Spring for most of the people signifies the hope and search for new meaning in life. To me as well.


                             I think spring is the time of flowers blooming and the bess buzzing, and everything appearing bringing the right weather. Here is a wonderful poem about spring!

For winter's rains and ruins are over,
And all the season of snows and sins;
The days dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

Algernon Charles Swinburne  (

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough.

ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!!!

Dear blog viewers,


                             This past  week that I am sure you remenber included Thursday, March 17, 2011, Saint Patricks Day. Everyone one belives St. Patricks Day as a fun jolly day that everyone wheres green on. The myth of this day is if you find a four leaf clover you are proved to be veery lucky as well as if you see a rainbow and you follow it to the end you will find a leprechaun you will be able to steal its pot of gold. Along with that myth there is alos a true meaning to St. Patricks Day! St. Patricks Day also comes from the Irish or in other words Ireland.

                            The actual meaning of Saint Patricks Day is that the name saint Patricks Day comes from Saint Patrick the patron saint. He was the national apostle of Ireland who is credited with bringing christianity to Ireland.  Patrick died at Saul, Downpatrick, Ireland, on March 17, 460 A. D. Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide. So that is the real meaning of Saint Patricks Day. We on the other hand, celebrate it in our own way which includes the myths we believe in.

Resumes, Coverletters and Application

Dear blog viewers,

                                          
            Should kids at school have to write a resume, coverletter and an application in order to take elective classes?  There are two options. Yes! or No! Each answer has wrong and rights to it.




Ex. Resume

             NO HAVING TO WRITE A RESUME, ACOVERLETTER AND FILL IN AN APPLICATION FOR ELEIVE CLASSES!!



          No! Why should kids have to write an resume a coverletter and also have to fill in an application for elective classes.  As of now kids are still too little to be having to write an resume , a coverletter and apllication for electives. And neither is it fair for kids that like one type of elective alot and because of the fact that their resume and the coverletter and application are bad so they can not get the elective anymore. Not fair some would oppose to!  As of now the kids should have the right to choose what they want because if they do not like a certian elective and are forced to learn it they are not going to put any effort into it. But if they have the right to get the elective that they want they will be able to learn from it, enjoy it maybe later on in life actaully use it. That is what some would oppose to . A no! But there are also many that would oppose to a yes!



 Ex. Application




          YES KIDS SHOULD HAVE TO WRITE A RESUME, A COVERLETTER AND HAVE TO FILL IN AN APPLICATION FOR ELECTIVE CLASSES!!

                   Yes! Why shouldn't kids have to write a resume, coverletter and an applicatin to fill out for elective classes. People may think kids are still too little  but if you think about it wisely actaully they are not. They are reaching to the age where they have to start being mature and taking on responsibily, and also taking wise decisions.  It is not fair how the kids who actually work hard in school and get all a's pick an elective and because of the fact that they randomly put you in an elective that you do not get what you want and a dumb person who picked the same elective as you derserves it. If they do have to write a resume, a coverletter and fill in an application then you would be the one to deserve being in the elective you choose but not the other person because your resume was better than thet persons. So you should have to write all that.  Like I said there are many ways a person can oppose to if they tried.

                                                   

  Ex. Coverletter                        

                 What do you think about this arguement. Comment back on what you think.

Dear blog viewers,

         This week I will tell you how people oppose to the question should we have single session classes or not? What do kids prefer? Having to leran with a single - gender group or like they do now with a mix of both genders? All kids have diffrent views to this quetion. Some would say A mix of both genders where others may say a single - gender group.

SINGLE - GENDER GORUP



                                             Of cousre some kids would say. Having the kids study and work together in a single - gender group will allow them to work together more cooperatedly because as to say most girls have the same thoughts as other girls and also many boys as well have similar thoghts to smoe boys. As to say where if there were mixed gender groups they would not understand each other as well. Also gilrs and boys may also have a difficult time working together because uslaay boys are faster than girls so it changes the way most things may work. For example, if there was a race and it was mixed boys and girls then it may lead to a fight in the groyp that one may say you made the group lose because boys and ils both have diffrent speeds. Also according to the article it states that test scores have gone up by seperating mixed genders.

 So like I stated before there are many ways to give rights and wrongs to both opinions. As of my opinion I think that  we should work in single - gender groups because it will cause less fights and more concentration and cooperation.

 

 

MIXED GENDERS

                                             Mixed genders is the best way to help kids learn better and work together. Exactly why?  Well if they work together in mixed groups evn though they have diffrent tastes they may try new things like if boys like basketball and a boy told the girls how fun it is some girls may even try it. Working togetther will help them get used to getting along which may help them later in life. Boys and girls may fight at first and then soon realize to stop fighting and work together. Also by working together they can combine both tastes and make something ecellent out of it. Everyone has diffrent opinions and those pinions will effect on behalf of how opposing it is. In my opinion I think we should work with mixed genders because it may help to understand that you will be working with them in the future. What do you think about this question?
