WB 2-4🥥: Magical Magic Notes

 WB 2-4🥥: Magical Magic Notes

Summary

Hey, fourth blog in the second quarter!! This one is gonna be only a tad bit different because now, I will be sharing about Magic Notes (more specifically one I like the most). This week, me and my period worked TV and our GT's watched as well. This also meant that they get to start working after school sales with us and even though things went wrong, I'm sure they didn't mean it. In Social Studies, we are currently working on the "Event details/Leaders" portion of our NHD project, and its going smoothly I think, because everytime we have to search different websites and articles I start losing my mind. In ELA, we read an article called "Why We Should Focus on Earth Instead of Colonizing Mars" or something like that and it was pretty good. It explains how and why we should focus on rehabilitating Earth rather than trying to escape it, and I agree. Science is not okay. I hate the two boys I am sitting in between. They keep copying my answers, they keep yapping, and I cannot have a single science period in piece without them ruining it. We had a CFA to do on photosynthesis and I am not confident that I did well on it. Anyways, Math has been easy because it's just about integers and stuff, but we got scolded on how we need to be more responsible on checking our own work and we also have a test on Monday so that's pretty bum stick. Art has been fun because we are doing visual journaling, and I love doing that kind of stuff. I like leadership the most because, let's be real, they're the most tolerable people I know and it's just a vibe in A101. We are currently working on starting the yearbook, and I am doing staff and peep div. Basically, I have to take pictures of all the adults working in this school, and peep div is the pages in between new sections that are just filled with pictures. I started taking pictures for peep div since Mr. Ing mentioned that we are able to start now, and I only got like, fifteen pictures sadly. I had to write twenty-nine magic Notes for everyone (except for Ms. Shayna) and I'll be honest, I only started on Wednesday and somehow finished it on the same day and I think the first person to show Mr. Ing that I finished. I forgot one person. . . but I quickly fixed that problem. I love all the magic Notes I got, and I saw a lot of frog doodles, lol. I really hope everyone liked my magic Note I gave them because I am not the best at writing and expressing my feelings toward others, and I truly tried my best. During seventh grade lunch, we had a rap battle (??) that included me, Sultan, Markwil, Emma, Gledys, Ariya, Cheyannae, and Meygan. It was so fun watching them roast each other and I even got to roast Sultan (sorry Sultan, lol).

Highlights + Lowlights 

Highlights 

  • Finishing My Magic Notes -  I'm so proud that I managed to write twenty-nine Magic Notes for everyone (except Ms. Shayna) and completed the task in a single day, even though I only started on Wednesday! I was even the first person to show Mr. Ing that I was done. It felt great to try my best to express my feelings to others, and I hope everyone liked the one I gave them.
  • Enjoying Leadership Class - Leadership is absolutely my favorite class! It's such a vibe in A101, and the people there are the most tolerable I know. Starting the yearbook has been fun, and I'm excited about working on the staff and "peep div" sections, even though I've only gotten about fifteen pictures so far.
  • Finding Agreement in ELA - I really enjoyed reading the article "Why We Should Focus on Earth Instead of Colonizing Mars." It was pretty good and articulated a viewpoint I strongly agree with—that we should focus on fixing Earth rather than trying to escape it.

Lowlights

  • Science Class Stress - Science is definitely not okay right now. The two boys I'm sitting between are constantly copying my answers and yapping, which ruins any chance of having a peaceful period. Plus, I'm really not confident about how I did on the photosynthesis CFA.
  • NHD Project Headaches - The "Event details/Leaders" portion of my NHD project in Social Studies is driving me crazy! Searching through different websites and articles makes me feel like I'm losing my mind.
  • Math Test Anxiety and Scolding - Even though math itself has been easy since it's just about integers, getting scolded about being more responsible with checking our work was a bummer. Now I have a test on Monday, which makes things a little stressful.

Lessons Learned 

Magic Notes & Finishing Tasks.

The Lesson: I learned that even when a task seems overwhelming (like writing twenty-nine notes!), if I just sit down and focus, I can accomplish big things quickly. Pushing through and getting it done efficiently made me proud, and being the first to finish shows that my commitment and ability to focus are stronger than I sometimes think.

Leadership, Yearbook, and Social Connection.

The Lesson: My leadership class reminds me how important it is to be in an environment where I feel comfortable and valued. Surrounding myself with people who are "tolerable" and who create a good "vibe" makes even work, like starting the yearbook, feel enjoyable. It teaches me to prioritize positive spaces.

ELA and Critical Thinking.

The Lesson: Reading the article about focusing on Earth showed me the value of engaging with strong arguments, especially when they align with my own beliefs. It’s important to form and articulate my own convictions about big issues, and feeling that strong agreement reinforces my own moral compass.

Science Class and Dealing with Distractions.

The Lesson: The stress in science class teaches me a hard truth: I can't control what other people do, but I can control my reaction and my focus. Even when I'm surrounded by distractions and annoying behavior, I need to develop strategies to protect my peace and concentrate on my own work, no matter how frustrated I am.

NHD Project and Information Overload.

The Lesson: The NHD project is teaching me about perseverance through complexity. When I feel like I'm losing my mind searching through articles, it's a sign that I need to step back, organize my research strategy, and break the overwhelming task into smaller, manageable chunks. It's about enduring the struggle of deep research.

Math, Responsibility, and Confidence.

The Lesson: Being scolded in math and feeling worried about the test is a clear reminder of the importance of personal responsibility in academics. Even if the content (integers) is easy, the lesson isn't about the math itself; it's about making a habit of double-checking my work to ensure accuracy and build true confidence, not just relying on surface-level understanding.

Magic Note 


This is one of my magic notes that I have received this week. This was made by my GT, Megan, and I picked this specific one because she expressed how I was patient with her when she first came to leadership, and how she admired me (WAHHHHHH). When it comes to teaching others, I try my best not to be too bossy or impatient, and seeing that she liked me and didn't see me that way made my day.

Bio Cube 🐤 Summary This blog is going to be different from normal blogs, heh. This blog will be about the process of creating my Bio Cube. A Bio Cube includes information about yourself that others can read to get to know you better. The information included six different sides that include; pictures of yourself, your background, saying what personalities you have, what things are significant to you, what obstacles you have, and a quote you use to have you with your life. We answered all of these questions (aside from the pictures) in our Leadership Notebook, so that we know what to put when we did it on Canva. When we got Chromebooks, we logged into an 'Ilima account made for Canva, and started making slides that had the six things on six different slides. We got to design the slides so that we can make it however we want, and design it however we want. After that, we waited until Ms. Shayna printed out our slides on pieces of paper. We had to cut out the squares, and tape them o...

WB 3-3: E

 WB 3-3: E Summary So this week has been low-key kinda but not really stressful because I had lots of stuff to do. My odd periods were okay, since math subject was easy (for now) because we are still on percentages, just worked on orientation and yearbook in leadership, and all we did in explore wheel was learn how to use our binders and write our journal entry for the day. My even periods were the harder ones because I had way more things to do. In ELA, we still worked on PBL and have to do ANOTHER ahupua'a bro like this is the third one. I also got to eat in class because I told Ms. Miya I was hungry, and accidentally broke my friend's pen, woops. Social studies has a lot of art assignments, but it's okay because Mr. Cole is fun. We had an assignment where we had to do an essay and I think I did a decent job, since all we had to write about was how the missionaries changed Hawaiian society. Mrs. Arakawa legit farted by me and I died inside. It was during a CSA too. . . an...
