I won $50,000.00 !!

In this project we were awarded $50,000.00f. But in order to be giving my winnings I had to write a proposal on what I was planning to buy with the money. What made this project a little difficult was that we couldn't donate or invest the money. I really enjoyed this project because it was cool getting to buy stuff with $50,000.00. If I were to do this project again I would buy other stuff, because I really focused on buying stuff for my car. In the other hand this project wasn't hard at all. It was mostly fun !

Back to the future !

Back to the future was a very exciting project! The point of the project was to find the cost of random items and compare the cost in 2009. After that we had to use percent change to determine the cost of the items in 2029. I really enjoyed working on this project because it was very easy and fun. More over, because me and my partner Victor both use teamwork, in order to complete this project. If we were to do this project over again, I would have been more prepared. This project was very important because how well we did would determine are grade.

The feeling of the song is sad because it said "Don't want you to go away".The singer wrote this song because at the time, he felt sad. More over, because the song music is very slow and smooth.

Poetry Response

Where I’m From

by Willie Perdomo

Where I’m from, it’s the late night scratch of rats’ feet that explains what my mother means when she says slowly, “Bueno, mijo, eso es la vida del pobre.” (Well, son, that is the life of the poor). / Where I’m from, it’s sweet like my grandmother reciting a quick prayer over a pot of hot rice and beans. Where I’m from, it’s pretty like my niece stopping me in the middle of the street and telling me to notice all of the stars in the sky.

From this poem I can infer that the little boy and his family are latin. The poet is feeling worried because, his mother told him that 'that is the life of the poor". The theme about this poem is that a little boy is probaly going thew some hard times. I some how can connect with this poem because I also am latin.

8th Grade State Math Test

Yes I am ready for the test next month, but I feel like I still have to keep working on some standards. I have been doing my homework and studing for like ten minutes every day. i think the topics i still need help in are percent algebra.

"Transformations - Conclusion"

Yes, I enjoyed this unit because we were able to move figures around. More over, I learned that a reflection is like when a figure is looking at itself in the mirrow. We can apply transformation in real life, for example for people that build houses and sidewalks they need to have an understanding of how figures move.
