Christmas Break

Christmas break starts this Friday. This post is about what I will do this Christmas Break. This year my family and I will take our annual trip to Mexico. Every year we go to Mexico to spend Christmas. Almost every day before Christmas we do posadas. Our friends and our family come to our little house and start praying. On Christmas Eve at 12AM the kids get on the floor and put a baby Jesus on a blanket. Then by morning my relatives come back to show off what they got for Christmas. But I ususally don't get stuff like that because I don't believe in Santa Claus. But I would still get some money, at least, from my parents. So that's basically what I will be doing this year during my Christmas Break. On January 5th that's the day we will go back to school.

Tech Class

I am feeling great in Technology class because I get to type in my game ideas on the computer. I have learned a lot of new important facts about my topic. For example, the majority of gang members are teenagers. I have struggled mostly with answers to my questions. I do research my questions on the internet, but I don't get any answers. I want my teacher to encourage us more to focus so that we can get on task. What I would like to see change her is working a little more with movie clips because they were really fun. Lastly, my ideas that we should do here are to blog more. I want that because blogging is cool so that everyone can see it.

Toros Game

So yesterday we went on a field trip to see the Toros game. We got on the the bus at school, and we got to the Austin Convention Center. We went into the basketball court and the game started. We saw the cheerleaders, we hanged out with the bull, and plus we got to see the players. After that all of us who had money go to go to buy some snacks. I bought some popcorn for me and my friend. Even though I didn't pay attention to the game I was very entertained by the bull and the cheerleaders. It was the best field trip we had in 6th grade. But at the beginning of the game the Toros were winning and through most of the 2nd period. All the boys' favorite part without a doubt was the cheerleaders. We would get off the stands with the cheerleaders to take a picture with them, we also took a picture with the mascot. Also during most of the game they would play some music. Also when the Toros were defending the announcer would ask us to chant "DEFENSE, DEFENCE". Unfortunately, at the end of the game the Toros lost to the Vipers 88-97. So even though the Toros lost it was worth going to that game.

Globaloria This Week

Yesterday on 11-23-09 we were visited during our technology class. They taught us how to develop our game ideas and how to put math in it. When she came we started to take a look at the agenda. It said that a few students were going to present their game ideas. First me and Ricky had to present our game idea. It was okay and then Ms. Rachel got on the computer to help us on how to make it a little better. She also told us how to put math in it. After that I started to get so excited about my game. Now that Ms.Rachel made it a little better it's going to be awesome. Also if my game could be the best one it will be awesome if I get to go to D.C. Ms.Rachel really made it better I could win that trip. Globaloria is awesome because of the games we will create and now that all of us have our game ideas we will be so anxious to create those. We haven't started to learn yet how we will create them. But I just know that when we do we will be to over-excited to create our game. Then when people start playing it online it will be even better. Also yesterday Ms.Rachel then planned another game about teenage pregnancies. We chose teenage pregnancies because it's a big problem in our community. That is going to be our topic. We also chose it because we think it will really help us for our community meeting class. Yesterday was a great day in Globaloria and I loved presenting my game. I can't wait till' I make it and put it on the internet.

Thanksgiving Day

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving Day. All I will do is watch the Mexican Soccer League playoffs. This Saturday Monterrey will play America, and Puebla will play Cruz Azul. On Sunday San Luis will play Toluca, and Santos will play Morelia. On the next Saturday Cruz Azul will play Puebla, but this time Cruz Azul will play at home. Those are going to be the quarter-finals. The team I really want to be champion is Santos, the team I least want to be champion is America. Even though my most favorite team is Chivas and they're not in the playoffs I'm still going to watch it. Here is a vision I have of the future.

Technology So Far

So far in tech class we've been learning about action scripting. We saw a video that teaced us how to add animation on flash. I hope that will really help us when we create our games. I'm really looking forward to create my game, I can't wait. But I'm worried that I'm not going to know how to make the game. On my research of ActionScript, I read that ActionScript is used primarily for the developement of websites and softwares. Like if you have your own website or software, and then you want to develop it, like make it better, you can go to ActionScript and edit it. That is what it says in my research in ActionScript is. And if you want to see my research click here. I think of ActionScript being fun. It's cool how to develop softwares on ActionScript. It's like you actually have control of that software. If it's fun to use ActionScript by just practicing, I just can't wait until we use it for real. When we create our games it's gonna be awesome! And when we do create them they come out on tv, and everyone can see it world wide! I hope I can create the best game so that I can go to Washington D.C.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Technology Class

I feel great here technology class. I'm glad that post anything on our blogs and everyone can see it, and by everyone I mean EVERYONE as in anybody in the world. I learned how to add a picture, a video, and a hyperlink. That's so cool. I can't even wait until we start creating our games. I can't find anything pressuring with this class. This is the easiest and best class ever! I wish I didn't have to go to any of the other classes and just stay here in tech for the whole day. I also like how we get 15 minutes of free time and sometimes we might even have more. But although sometimes I hate when our free time is over and we start working on our wiki. But my top 3 favorite things in technology are free time, create games, and blog. It's just too bad that we only stay here for 1 hour and a half. If only we could just stay here for the rest of the day. I don't care if I would have to skip the other classes I just want to stay here. Technology without a doubt is the BEST CLASS EVER!
