Learning Experiences
This past week we did a lot of reading for class. I really enjoyed the reading we did though. Learning about the guidelines for making a test was very interesting to me. I have obviously seen many test throughout my schooling so I had plenty of past experiences to compare the guidelines to. It made learning about the guidelines much easier to remember and also much more interesting. I felt like I was judging my past test which was kind of fun.
Current Event

This current event is about the way gender affect the amount a student can learn from a teacher. Studies showed that girls taught my female teachers in math will do better that girls taught by male teachers. I think this makes sense because females are more comforting which makes it easier for students to learn math. It would be harder for anyone to learn math with a less loving male teacher.
Quote of the Week
― Albert Einstein
This quote mkae me think about the things we learned about making test because it proves that the harded more difficult learning levels will help you learn. It also reminds me of the speaker we had last week because of what she went through with her son. She had to find out the reasons to why her son was not excelling very well and it was very inspiring to keep searching for answers.
Observations
The past couple weeks I have really been checking out my options for college. I went to Michigan to visit a school and is was wonderful. I really enjoyed seeing the new college but my friend was not so excited that I was going to visit the school. While I was in Michigan she would not even talk to me so it was very hurtful to me. She doesn't want me to go that far away from home and leave her and all my other friends but I think I have to do whats best for me in making those decisions. It hurt me to know that she is not supportive of me in trying to do whats best for me. This experience taught me a lot about how to treat others though. I would never want one of my friends to feel like that about me and therefore I have learned more about how to treat people from this experience.
Reflections
College is so stressful to think about!! Its so crazy to think I will be in college so soon. It has been such a great senior year and its so crazy to think it is half way over! Second semester starts tomorrow and that means I have one semester of high school left. It is so insane to think about! I am so nervous yet so excited to think about what the future holds.
