This week we had to read an entire book. The book I read was The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan. The book talks about the roman gods and goddesses. As most people know Percy Jackson from the Percy Jackson series, he has lost his memory and is running from 2 gorgons. You might be saying why and how did he lose his memory, well the goddess named Juno in the roman form or Hera in Greek form took the memories from Percy so that he could help her on a quest. The 2 gorgons are trying to kill Percy because he killed their sister Medusa. So he is running and a old hippy looking woman told him to carry her across the bridge or he could go to the sea to where he belongs (Percy is the son of Neptune). He said that there are two guards blocking the way to go across. She said they will let you. So he carried her and ran across, but when he got there the gorgons cached up and started to fight and the guards told them to got to camp Jupiter. So then they went and she got off and turned out to be the goddess Juno. So then Juno makes him go on a quest to full fill the prophecy called the prophecy of seven. He took two friends he met named Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang. So they go on a quest to free Thanotos. They face lots of dangers like the amazons, Phineas, and Alcyoneus. Then they come back and have to fight against the ogres. Once they were done they ate and celebrated. The next day Percy, Hazel, and Frank waited for the Argo ll to come with Jason Grace, Annabeth, Leo, and Piper.
This week I checked my grades. They were better than last week, because last week I checked and had only one A and the rest B's. This week In math I have a B ( 86% ) because I got a 75% on my quiz. So with that I have a C for my assessment and A for CW / HW. That is why I do my TRF on math. My goal is to pass my test better and get the grade into an A. In Language Arts I have an A (90%) because I got good scores on test and homework. I got an A on CW/HW and a B on my test and quizzes. My goal is to get better scores on test and quizzes. In Science I have a B (87%) because I got a 45% out of 100% for my geologic Time Scale Test. My goal is to do better on my test using my interactive reader and try to get an A. For Avid I have an
Last week our AVID teacher told us that we were not going to do TRF today.She told us we were going to go down to the 1st floor into a room to do something really cool. When we got there we saw lots of supplies. Then she told us we were going to build rockets. There was a lady. She told us that she was from discovery science center. She said she was going to help us build the parachutes. We had to work together in two partners. My partner was named Christian we had to measure the inches for the parachute. We had to tie it with some string it had to connect to a metal part. The metal was not heavy but for the parachute it might have been. Once we did that we had to go outside and test it out. There was someone who helped us tie it good and make sure it takes a long time to come down. They told us we were going to come back on Thursday. On Thursday we did come back there was a new lady she told us we were going to launch the rockets. We went outside to launch it. Once we were at the grass area she told us to fill the rocket with 1/4 of water. Then she told us who wanted to go first. Lots of people went. Then we wanted to go but my friends went first. They were pumping the air up and the other one pulled it. But once he pulled it went to him, hit him and he fell to the ground. So we didn't get to go. But it was a lot of fun.
