thursday !
Today I read about seven men and a pregnant woman who were trying to hold on to a little boat in Mexican waters. They were found and rescued Friday afternoon. The Coastguard then brought them ashore at Shelter Island. Six of them were taken to the hospital, some were treated for hypothermia. Since then four have been taken back to Mexico, after being rescued off the coast of Tijuana. It is unknown whether the group of 8 were trying to enter the U.S. There has been a huge spike in human smuggling this year.
I am pretty sure that the group of 8 was trying to cross over to the U.S. I also think that they should be able to come to the U.S without it being illegal. It is sad how Mexicans and other races try so much stuff to just come live here and have a better life.
I learned it is very hard now for people from Mexico to come over to the U.S.

Alexis-
Overall my Summer quarter went well even though I was not here the entire summer quarter. I think I deserve an A or a B. I think i deserve those grades because I came late, but was still able to catch up on everything. I also have been attending school everyday, and I only came late a few times. I think the most challenging class for me was probably Government. I think Government was challenging for me because I've always had a hard time in World History, U.S History, just because it is alot of information to remember.
During the Winter quarter i would like to finish my cooking elective, and most of all government. I just want to get government over with so i can start Economics. I want to finish highschool by June, so I do not care how much work I have to do , I am going to do it. During the Winter quarter I am going to take some of my work home so I can finish even faster.
I think everything is fine how It is. I have not tooken any test since i barely started about one month ago. Usually when I am about to take a test though, it helps me to review a study guide. The study guide always gives me an idea on what the test is going to be about. My favorite class is english. I like reading, but I only like reading interesting books. If the book is boring I will not enjoy reading at all. My other favorite class is my cooking elective. I do not enjoyo cokking, but i need to learn or else when I am older i will starve ! Other than that i do like this school, and i just want to graduate on time.

My summer quarter was an okay quarter. I didn’t fail any classes but I could have got much better grades. I hope to improve by finishing physics and putting more effort into my assignments. I also plan not to talk as much to my classmates when its time to work. Hopefully by accomplishing this I will be able to graduate and accomplish other goals in life.
My goals for the next winter quarter is finish my Physics and another book too. I also want to get all A’s so I can make my mom happy. I hope to get all A’s by finishing all my work no matter what even if I have to take work home. I also hope to get all A’s by not coming as late even if that means waking up earlier and coming on the trolley.
Right now I’m kind of not liking this type of school because I am so used to writing by hand than by typing. I’m also the type of person that needs to have a list in order so I can be motivated. So it would be very helpful for me if you could print out a weekly list of the assignments that I have to do by having this list I think that I’m gonna be able to get more accomplished.

Well i liked how i did at the end of the summer quarter even though i was not here for the whole quarter. The thing is i think i did a good job for the reason that i was always on time and i was not absent one day. I think next quarter i need to do my work faster and be more on task. I did turn in everything and was not missing any work. I think i deserve all A's and i am not trying to seem as i want them i just think for all my hard work i deserve it.I think i can keep up my attendance and not be tardy at all unless i have a really good excuse.
This quarter i want to accomplish the same i did the last except i want to not be left behind on my work and actually be ahead. I am going to do my best and not be lazy to finish all my school work. I think i am going to do all my work every single day and keep checking what i am missing to not be behind. My request for a change in the class is to have a little more exciting projects instead of book work. I like the projects we are doing for this quarter and i hope it keeps coming to us.
I really like this class and i hope i can graduate from it. I also think that in my tests we should keep doing that little egg game because my opinion is it really helps. Well really i don't really have any thing to say just to keep up being the same miss Jade you are a great teacher. One thing i go think should change a little is to follow the calendars and do what they say on it like the field trips and art classes. That's all i have to say and i hope to keep doing as i have been doing.

Winter quarter goals


My goals for this quarter are to improve on my attendance, and to be more patient with the other student. Last quarter my attendance was bad, but I’ve been working on it. I know that I get frustrated easily, but that is something that I’m working on.

Last quarter I think I got the grades that I deserved. I don’t really feel like the classes are challenging. My attendance was really crappy last quarter because I was sick a lot and I was late a lot too.

By next quarter I would like to be done with my English work book. Next quarter I will be on time and not miss school as much. I’m going to try to wake up earlier and go to sleep earlier. Something I would like to see changed is that there are students that really don’t put effort into their work and that is why I don’t like to work with people on projects.

I think that everything Ms. Jade does is a fun way to learn. I score high on test because I do my work. I really don’t study anymore that doing my studyguide. I think that the studyguide is a really good way to study.

i was not here for summer quater but since the week ive been here it went allright. Way diffrent from all the schools ive been to. i do not know what grade i diserve i dont care as long is passing so i could graduate and not go to school no more. i was late everyday to school beacuse i come from San Ysidro and in the morning there is alot of traffic.
my winter goals would be to finisht atleast one of ma books. i am goin to work even harder i am going to try and focus more on the books and try not to get distracted as much.
from what ive seen i think you are an ok teacher i cant say nothing because im doing my own stuff which could get pretty boring.

Thursday.
My summer quarter was ok. I think I did good on some things and bad on the other. The advantages this summer was I did pretty good on some subjects. The disadvantages of this summer was that I didn’t turn in some of the subjects that I was suppose to turn in which left my report card half blank. I’m somewhat pleased, because at least I did something better than nothing. I’m still disappointed at myself, because there were some things that I wanted to turn in but never got it done. Next time, I HOPE I do better. I’ll probably just stay home and work, work, work. I think I deserve the grade that I got despite my poor attendance, because I still do work when I don’t go to school. The thing I messed up on this quarter was my attendance. That’s one thing I really need to work on. My attendance is like a roller coaster, it goes up and down. There are times when I go to school, then out of nowhere I disappear then return. I know I cant keep doing that. I don’t want to be forever be gone in this school. I think poetry was the most challenging subject to me. I don’t know how to write poems. Nothing inspires me to write. There are times when I get lazy to study and do the work. I hope in the future my attendance gets better. Its not going to happen unless I make it happen.

My goals for this new winter quarter is I need to stop slacking off on my work. I want to be able to turn in more work and get my grade on it. I hope I finish the work that I was suppose to finish last report card and get a grade on it for this report card. My other goal is I want to improve on my attendance. Its not that I want to but I HAVE to if I want to graduate.

I think doing our study guide on our own helped me out a lot. Looking for the answers in the book helps me learn more, because just looking back at the book refreshes my memory at what I learned. My favorite class was English. I think it was pretty easy except photo shop.I forgot how to use photo shop, because I used to have it at home, but stopped using the program for a long time. I think going around to every student was fun, because you get to present to them what you’ve done on your project which will reflect what you learned. Not only that, but they will also learn from you.

Eduardo Ramirez Summer and Winter Reflections

My summer Quarter was my 1st quarter at SBTA. I got caught up to some of my classes and did good. I think I maintained my A’s. I think my best classes were History and English. I don’t really know my grades in Geometry or biology. My attendance was good but I want to come earlier and want to improve. For some reason I just feel tired at 7:00 in the morning.
I was planning to return to regular school by January because I want to start when the second semester begins. This quarter I want to continue my work so I can return in the second semester. I'm going to try to continue my grades good. Some of my strategies are trying to memorize long essay answers then write them on the test. I want to be on time better and not miss a lot of day’s.
Since I got here I felt more relaxed. But in regular school sometimes I would be stressed. I think to help some students that are struggling you should let the good grade students help the ones who are struggling. If that doesn’t work you could motivate them with a prize. Strategies that I used are Memorizing and writing, eliminating wrong answers, complete the easy ones first, and more. Some things that helped me in this class is that you need to concentrate on reading and on your work. I like Science and History since sometimes there both easy. If you motive your students with prizes they might want to do better in school.

Well in my summer my work habits was kind of going down because I wasn’t really all focus on work had to much going on been sick a lot and it caused me to miss school so I was always getting behind in my work and it was doing me all bad because I was lagging it from my graduation date. My most challenging class would be the English because it just a lot to do in just one but and it’s a little to much because it doesn’t give us enough time to do are other work or anything else we have to do. Well for the winter quarter my goal is to continue my goal from summer quarter do way better than what I done in the previous quarter and graduate and expand my learning habits instead of being a fool and not learning it like I am suppose to. I want to improve in doing more work and paying attention more instead of getting off task and making my graduation date go further than what it is suppose to be. I just want a little things to change just like are time on doing things and the way you put a bunch of big things got to be done at once because I am always to busy with practice and games and I cant really get everything done at once. I am feeling good this is helping me to get my work done faster but it is still a little to fast because than I forget about the other big thing I am suppose to do and It stress me out. Well me listen to music help me tune out everyone and do my work better and focus more on it. I j just think I am starting to get distracted now and it Is messing me up.

My summer quarter was good but not really that good it could have been better. my work habits were mostly there but on some assignments I didn’t apply myself when I could of and done better and on the rest of them I did pretty good I think. I am kind of pleased with my performance this quarter because I’ve accomplish some assignments but I could of done more and better. What I will do different is do my work and do my work when I receive It and don't procrastinate arrive on time and complete all assignments. I honestly thought I was going to receive all f’s but I was surprised the I passed history and if I can work my way up to this then I can get better grades in all classes I believe I can. In this quarter I believe I messed it up because I so bad wanted to pass. The classes that were challenging was English and bio because I was unorganized and a lot of work and also I got mix up but now I think I got it down and will do better in the next quarter. my attendance was ok but got very crappie toward the end of the quarter but planning on getting it back on track I can make it better by applying myself and you can help me by doing just what you are doing now to help me

This new quarter I want to accomplish really good attendance and pass the quarter. I am going to work hard and stay focused ask for help and ask miss j to push me a little more. The different things I mitt do is don’t put assignments aside or say I’ll do them later. I want to improve my attendance and grades along with behavior I really would like to see my grades change but change as in improve

I am feeling good kind of happy because I kind of expected the worst but turn out better then i thought. I have no suggestions for teaching styles because you teach in a good understanding way. what will help me lean is a tutor and a little bit of motivation. On the test you can help me by making it shorter or maybe a little easier. More projects and fun educated assignments

Today in the Union Tribune I read about the gays boycott. They’ve become the weapon of choice for conservative Christians, which I believe those are not even real Christians because Christians are supposed to be peaceful and loving to their enemies so the should just let them be who they want to be and be with whoever they want to be with. Now gay rights groups and their union allies are trying to turn the tables by targeting the Manchester Grand and the Grand Del Mar because the hotels’ owner gave $125,000 to proposition 8. NO on proposition 8. I also read in my morning blog about a man named Walter Ellis was charged earlier in the week with first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of Joyce Mims and Quithreaun Stokes. On Thursday, Ellis was charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of Sheila Farrior and Florence McCormick in 1995 and Irene Smith in November 1992. He was also charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Deborah Harris and Tanya Miller who were found dead within a day of each other in October of 1986. Ellis has not yet been charged with the deaths of Jessica Payne and Carron Kilpatrick.
