noreply@blogger.com (Melissa) — Sun, 17 May 2009 23:22:00 +0000

I have decided to nominate one student each week that has been the best blogger of the week. If you want to vote for someone you can vote before the end of the day each Friday, just comment on this post you need to include: the person's name, a link to their blog and why you are voting for them.

I will be looking for a few things in specific ...

1. You blogged at least 2 times during the week.

2. You used the words you know in English.

3. You are being creative and speaking your mind.

Have fun this week and let's see who is the student of the week. By the way if you are the Blogger of the Week then you will receive 5 extra points on your exit project. Good Luck!

(I will be checkign blogger and tumblr)

Family

noreply@blogger.com (Melissa) — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:23:00 +0000

Family is a little difficult to define. Some would say a mom, dad, and some kids. Maybe a group of people joined through blood. Some would say a bunch of close knit friends.

I’d like to think of family as a group of people who sacrifice themselves on daily basis for the people they love. This sacrifice is not for praise or recognition, but for the happiness that comes when you know you are giving yourself for the ones you love.

My Weekend

noreply@blogger.com (Melissa) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:06:00 +0000

This weekend was busy, but fun. My brother in law and cousins were here in New York. They arrived on Friday morning and went to Central park. After work, I went home and all of us went to eat at China Star, a restaurant by my house.

On Saturday, we went to Times Square and had a lot of fun. My cousins really liked seeing Times Square because the have never visited. Then on Sunday, we went to breakfast and then went to Chinatown. My cousin, Kari bought a purse. Then we went to Little Italy and ate lunch. At 6pm they left for the airport.

I had a lot of fun with them. I hope they can visit again soon.

Movies

noreply@blogger.com (Melissa) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:03:00 +0000

I really like to watch movies. I mostly enjoy movies that are sweet and tell a nice story. For example, the Notebook, Rataouille, Wall E, Little Miss Sunshine.

I also like movies that tell an epic story like the Chronicles of Narnia or the Lord of the Rings. Those stories are so great. They make you feel like you the characters in the story. You don't want the movie to end because that is when your relationship with the characters end.

What are you favorite movies?

Learning

noreply@blogger.com (Melissa) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:00:00 +0000

Learning is something we do everyday. Learning is a very difficult things to do. You have to make a choice everyday whether you are going to learn or just go through the day without thinking.

I think the way that you know you have learned something is when you can explain it to someone else. When you can teach someone what you have learned then you know that you are learning.
