Today Simone read the blog because yesterday Vincent picked her to the blog. After that  she picked me to do the blog. Then we read the poem by Shakespeare that Ms. Nakada handed out. She tried to make sound scary but it failed so people laughed at her. After that we took out the nanowrimo sheet. Then Ms. Nakada tried acting like Mr. Hastings by telling the girl who sits in the middle of Noael  to go take a lap. Then we started filling out things in the sheet. Then we all got exicted because the bell rang but  Ms. Nakada told us we can't have a break because last time she gave us one lots of people came late so she got mad so that's why we didn't get a break. After that Ms. Nakada caught Daniel  trying to make it look like if he had muscles but he doesn't!!!!! Then we had to color the picture of Dia de Los Muertos.

HW:  Review Notes
RJ 7.1-7.5

Today we came into class and sat down in our seats. Vincent then read his blog and chose me as the next blogger :P After wards we opened our history notebooks and took notes on : CH.7 The American Revolutions Dates.Strategies. Battles. Anthony then told Ms. Nakada something that he really shouldn't have which caused Ms. Nakada to get mad a little. Then Edwin had blurted out the wrong answer to the question, and Ms. Nakada said, "WOW! THANKS FOR CALLING OUT THE WRONG ANSWER!" and that made everybody laugh :D.  She then said how WONDERFUL her 3rd&4th, and 5th&6th are this year and then how it was last year. And then Anthony had the NERVE to talk about the girls football team! Payge and I took great offense to that! But Ms. Nakada clocked him on it.

We stopped taking notes and did time lines on the dates in the history we where studying. We had to continue to do this for the rest of the period and if we finished we worked on NaNoWriMo. Payge and I were having some problems taking the photo for the blog >:( We figured it out  eventually, then we started to clean up, put the chairs up, put the books away and packed up and got readyy to go for X-Period !!!! Don't Be Late STUDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYeEeEeEeE!

Today we met in the computer lab so that my classmates and I could learn about National Novel Writing Month or for short NaNoWriMo. While we are in the computer Ms. Nakada forgets that we are supposed to read the poems. "Silly Ms. Nakada" as I said. The next thing that we did is read a packet about being a young writer. After we we read the packet Ms. Nakada is talking about creating a novel and the first thing that comes to my mind is, is she crazy? But after she explains it now it isn't that difficult. Now we are about 30 more minutes into the subject then we come back to room 229 to finish the rest of the spa test. While we are taking the test Anthony R. asks Ms. Nakada for a pencil and Ms.Nakada said something funny that made the class laugh but I know that Ms. Nakada thinks she's got jokes just because she made some thirteen year old kids laugh.  When we were done we put the chairs up and Ms. Nakada dismissed us.
