End of Year Feels

Some of my accomplishments include, SOL18 challenge, and being able to buy the White Sox field trip. Regrets? Maybe. I do regret trying to join Cross Country. I never even went. I just avoided it. I even started lying about it to my mom. I told her people went to the gym to see if they got accepted and I didn’t. I think that’s the only regret. Oh wait no, when I wasn’t here on a Monday where they watched a movie. I don’t have any goals for 7th grade right now.

Pablo’s Poems

Nature
The breeze going through my face,
Going all over the place,
The changing of the season,
There’s obviously a reason,
After the fireflies glow,
Falling from the sky is snow,
Now it’s fall,
The perfect time to play with a ball,
The sun might have a plot,
Making the weather so hot, hot, hot!


Beach
My favorite place to be,
Beach,
The calmest place by sea,
The waters cold,
“To have fun.” I was told,
Picking up shells,
Listening to them as if they were bells,
Beach

3 Positives For This Week

One positive of this week is that MAP will end this week. Another positive is that Mrs.Coalson will maybe give me a seal squishy I’ve wanted for over years. YEARS. If she gets the package and it contains a seal squishy I’m getting it because I reserved it. Maybe she’ll get it this week. The last positive of this week is that Delilah is getting a squishy as well.  But I reserved the seal first so if it’s there I’m getting it. And if Delilah doesn’t get a seal squishy she’ll get a different squishy.

MAP Testing

Why do we have to take MAP, a lower grade test after PARCC? Ok to be real here I’m excited for it so I can finish with big tests for the year. I want to hget it over with but I don’t want it to come. Maybe there will be an insentive if you gain points on two of them again? Back on the PARCC schedule why is it befor MAP. Pearson was like “Oh ok, let’s make it harder for the students because they haven’t learned anything on statistics! What a grand idea, making the students fail on that category will make the better students and try to persevere through it!”

“50th” Blog Post

i have way over 50 blog posts because of the SOL18 challenge. I got all 31 days. I have I think 81 blog posts. Even then I feel proud. Each blog post I’ve done takes about 8 minutes so imagine how much time I’ve put into Blogger. I honestly feel like Blogger has improved my skills with quick thinking, writing, and by allowing me to type faster. It was really fun to express my creativity over the year. Overall I enjoyed what prompts Ms.Haury’s given us.

SOL Field Trip

Ok so the field trip was so much fun because of my best friend was there, Ariani. On the field trip I got to type with a typewriter and smell a couple things. But most importantly the stories me and Ariani wrote. There are currently 3 stories so far, Horse, Chops, and Bananas. This is Horse, I ran downstairs as fast as I could, hearing footsteps behind me. I went inside the dryer for a hiding spot. They kept walking, was it real or just my imagination? He was looking for his pet ramen noodles and threw up out of nowhere. He called my name, “Horse, Horse! Bring me feud!” He blew up. Before he died he spoke a weird speak, “Huhuhuhuehuehuehueheuhue!” As well did I exploded. And that’s the story of my life. So that was Horse and this is Chops, I was in the school bus. I starved because I had no food. I was the one children on another bus. I’m magical. I eat and cut the school buses Titanic Style. The two sides of the bus fell down. And I flew, “Yaaaaaas!” *Singing* “I flew into the clouds, as I exploded, bye myself I lie to fly in my kiiiiiite!” Have I mentioned I know how to karate chop da chops? I chop for pops and eat the cops. That was Chops and the last one is Bananas and here it is, “Nooooooo!” “My mom has bananas!” She dropped my burger with a banana on it. I was so mad and threw it at her face! I rubbed butter in my eyes to make them fantabulous as well as glimmering. I can’t wait to eat my clothes! They were sooooooo good! They tasted like lavenders from the detergent. I licked myself and said out loud, “I taste like a tide pod.” I go to the TV and say, “Notice me senpai!” And the TV turned on, I got excited and ate the fridge. Next thing I know my bananas are eating me. Since I ate the fridge, why not eat the house? My mom won’t mind, right? It’s time to eat the house, my knees, and the floor. And that were all the stories me and Ariani wrote.

Analyzing A Song

My favorite song right now is “La Vida es un Carnaval.” The “moral” of the song is to enjoy life no matter what might bring you down. I really enjoy listening to it, it makes me smile whenever I do. It tells you how you shouldn’t live your life in sorrow and to enjoy it and to sing. The first lines are really meaningful as to what you might think is unfair and to get over it and to enjoy the earth we live in. It also tells you things like “Todo aquel que piense que la vida siempre es cruel, tiene que saber que no es así, que tan solo hay momentos malos, y todo pasa! Todo aquel que piense que esto nunca va a cambiar, tiene que saber que no es así, que al mal tiempo buena cara, y todo cambia!” Which translates to "Anyone who thinks that life is always cruel, has to know that it is not like that, that there are only bad moments, and everything happens! Anyone who thinks that this will never change, has to know that it is not like that, that bad weather is good, and everything changes! " I don’t bother on trying to change the size of that.

Analyzing A Poem

I found this poem about life. “Life is, a series of events strung together like a phrase of a sentence forever changing and forever adapting. Turn the page and read on.” I really like it because it’s meaningful. I think it means like if something sad happens just move on and get the beautiful things in life. Like birth, seasons, and family and friends. Maybe somebody is trying to fit in but they don’t like doing it so they break out of their shell and show the real them. I remember when I was incredibly shy but I grew to know people and feel comfortable around them.

Favorite Poem

This is my favorite poem. All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks

Are life eternal: and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;
There's nothing mortal in them; their decay
Is the green life of change; to pass away
And come again in blooms revivified.
Its birth was heaven, eternal it its stay,
And with the sun and moon shall still abide
Beneath their day and night and heaven wide. 

I like this poem because of how imaginative it is. Like you can see all of it in your mind. And I like the beautiful outdoors. It talks about life and death and how things come back.

Chicago History Project

So my first topic was the Chicago Fire but I decided to switch it to H.H. Holmes. Anyways he was obsessed with death at a young age. He took care of a pharmacy. He then built a hotel across the street. He killed his coworker Ben Pitezel. He killed them with various different ways like trapdoors that throw them to the basement, soundproof rooms, and a maze of hallways. He was estimated to have killed between 20-200 people. He was caught and hanged in May 8th 1896.

4th Quarter Goals

Ok so for Science I want to at least understand the process of certain things like chemical to heat and how things function. For Social Studies I want to learn more about geography which will probably help me in seventh grade if I get the Global Studies teacher Mrs. Guel. For math I want to reach my MAP goal which is 230 which is high school level and will greatly improve my academic level in math. For ELA I want to make projects that stand out but are good enough to maybe get a 4. For Gym I want to participate more and to push myself above my limits. For Art I want to make a masterpiece when drawing/painting since I think I’m pretty good at drawing geography. To achieve all these goals I’m going to have to pay attention, make more friends,  participate more, and believe in myself.

Spring Break

Spring break wasn’t that much fun other than a few key things. When I won the raffle for the first week I decided to make it my dream journal so I can have better chances to have a lucid dream and so I can’t share them with my friends. I was writing in that every single time a had a dream. They were all weird, one of them was with my dog Snow who had hands. Anyways I went to the store to buy a few things. My dad bought four trees. Three of them were peach trees while the other tree was an apple tree. It took a while to plant them but my dad also bought fertilizer for the trees but what was gross was that my dogs kept trying to eat it. My mom and I went to Popeyes to buy some chicken and ordering was a real struggle because I couldn’t understand what she was saying and I think she couldn’t understand me either. Once we got our chicken (over 60$) we left and didn’t know how to get back home because we were in a town called Peoria. We didn’t know what to do other than use Google Maps and when she handed me the phone I didn’t know where to look. She asked “D you understand?” I said “Yes.” I didn’t understand, in fact as soon as she gave me her phone I got lost and was looking in the wrong direction which is the reason we got lost. Once we made it back home we made s’mores.

Knee Injurie (SOL18 31)

When I was in Mexico I wanted to see the house my dad built. I went by walking with my cousin Lipitor who was on bike. It took us about 10 minutes for us to get there. We went there and I got to see my dads house but it wasn’t finished. I wanted to try Lipitor’s bike so I hopped on, barely and tried going. I tried and I was moving but fel after like three seconds on hard rocks. My hands and knees were scraped and bleeding. I started to cry, the pain was unbearable. We went walking and Lipitor founded this piece of cotton to put on my knee. His dad coincidentally saw us and took us in his car. He had to throw something out first so we went to the biggest hole I had ever seen. It was the size like four Wrigley Field Stadiums and 3 stadiums deep. We drove off to our house where I got the biggest band aid ever. Coincidentally my brother injured his knee a s well but it was a lot worse. It looked like his inside we going to come out.

Baby Bunny (SOL18 30)

One day I was playing with my friends, Emma and Melany. We were playing “Yandere Simulator” in real life. We were playing until we divided to rest, and guess what I hear. “Pablo, vente!” It was my dad. I saw something in his hand and didn’t know what it was. I say wait her to my friends. As I start getting closer and closer, my eyes clear up and realize what it was. It was a bunny, not just any bunny, a bauy bunny! I start sprinting with excitement on my face. I go to it and ask “Can we keep it?” They said we can’t but I got to hold it. It was so small and soft, and cute. I started walking over to Emma and Melany letting them see it. He tried to escape but he failed. I went back home and set him free. He was walking as if he was a worm. That was the first baby bunny I ever got to hold.

Sneaky Snake (SOL18 29)

When I was playing with my neighbor, my brother went to the backyard and my brother said  "Serpents, A snake!!!” When I was there my neighbor and my brothers went up to my house. Both my little brothers were screaming, I don’t know why. My mom asked “What’s wrong?” My brothers than said “There’s a snake!” They screamed even more when they saw the snake go into my house. They begged my mom to get it and kill it. I know garden snakes don’t do anything so I was really confused. The baby of the family started crying worrying for my mom when she went in the house and didn’t come back for three minutes. My mom eventually caught it and set it free instead of killing it.

The Foul Falcon (SOL18 28)

One day when I was at my cousins house me and my brother went outside. We started playing with a ball because it was the only thing there, and some hide and seek. We kept playing until my brother touched something on the wires. He said “Dude lets go inside, there’s a falcon on the wires.” I said “No, those are crows.” There was 3 crows blocking my view from the falcon. I didn’t notice until it was going at us. “Ok let go inside, OMG!” It was so fast, it was coming towards us! We went inside and looked outside, I flew away. We were relieved.

Tremendous Treadmill (SOL18 27)

About 7 years ago I was outside playing with a ball. I saw that the garage was open. I saw a treadmill with the key so I wanted to try it out. It was going pretty good for my little feet and brain. That brain part was a contributing factor to what happened next. I put it on normal which was a good exercise at the time but my head thought “Oh let’s put it all the way up to XTREME!” I guess you know what happens next. I saw how fast it went and I put one foot down while grabbing onto the sensors on treadmill. I put two feet on and I flew. I went faster than the speed of light. My knees were hurting, covered in blood. My brother came is as I was crying. My dad saw me and asked what happened. I said “He turned it to extreme while I was running on normal and I flew.” I blamed it on my little brother. I went inside after my dad carried me and got fixed. I went to bed and started watching Peppa Pig with my older brother.

Leaving School (SOL18 26)

On the last day of 3rd grade for me, which was 4 months before it actually ends, I moved. My teacher Ms.Alvarado announced “This is the last day for Pablo here.” Everybody looked at me, I felt tingly and like a sharp of hungry in my stomach for a while. I thought to myself “Wait, I’m going to a new school where everything is strange and weird.”  I remember my best friend Fernando gave me a broken colored pencil for me to remember him by but I lost it. At the end of the day I was crying so I just asked my mom to buy me some corn. The corn was good so.

Fun Fair (SOL18 25)

Slmewhere between July Piper has a fun fair every year if they have enough money. When I went I first went to Emma house before we left to hang out with her to arrange some thing like, money and time. Once we left to go we’re were surprised to see it. There was so many things like spin the wheel, bean bag toss, a game where you try to make the frog go in a bucket, a pinball, and more. First we ate pizza but the bad thing is you only get one slice, they were square. When we finished eating we got our 200 tickets to play games, I remember playing this zodiac sign game, and I remember winning. There was this game were you compete again like 7 people and go around in a circle, there were circle pads on the floor were one person has to go on one. I went there on my first try and I won some cupcakes. The game was Cake Walk. Once we got all our tokens which was about 100 we turned them in for prizes. I got this orca necklace that I gave to Emma, some toy dinosaurs that grow in water, and some candy. Emma got a bee necklace, candy, and the expanding dinosaurs.

My First Communion (SOL18 24)

When I was in church school every Saturday, I didn’t like wasting my weekend on more school. One time I was late and she made me say hi to everybody, that were like 18 years old as to me, I was nine years old, you can clearly see the difference. Another time she was amazed with one piece of homework that didn’t have a name, and asked whose is it, once again I was too nervous so I raised my hand ever so slightly, she didn’t see it but other kids did. Ok so when I did my first communion we went to the church where we went up in front of everybody to get out “bread” and wine, I’m not sure, pretty sure it’s no wine though. Once I went up there I didn’t mess up and got to playing for 3 minutes non stop. I forgot who I chose to be my god father but I know his daughters name, Ashley. I went back to sit down and I got this mini wooden crib with a baby in it and a box with a necklace I later broke by accident.
