My experiences with Math and science
My experiences with science and math are plentiful. In 6th grade I took Algebra 1. In 7th grade I took Geometry and now I take Algebra 2. I like math a lot, I like the way the numbers just fit in. Science is also a strong subject of mine. I have taken 6th and 7th grade science. Right now I am taking Physical science. I have done labs in science before as well as participate in the science fair.
What I did in class
October 27,2007
October 27,2007 was my first day of attending classes to become an apprentice. I was
shaking with excitment. In the morning class, Dr. Panoff came and spoke with us. He talked
about the rules at Shodor. Then we went through the policies and the handbook. Based on what
he said I got the impression that I could suceed here at Shodor and I can shine.
I learned the three rules which are:
1) Those who work, get to keep their job.
2) Raises will become effective when you do.
3) It's better to let us know, before we find out.
Next we had lunch. Then after lunch, we learned the basics of HTML. We learned about the
frame of the HTML. We basically made a page in class. We made the structure of the HTML. I
was so excited. Then sadly it was time to go. The minute I got home I showed my mom MY
webpage.
November 10,2007
On November 10,2007 it was my second class. In the first half of class we talked about Inkscape and Gimpshop. We were talking about graphics and logos. We got the basic tutorial of these two imaging programs from Mr. Ernie. We were assigned a project of making logos. Mr.Ernie had sample pictures we experimented with. I liked Inkscape the best because it is not very complicated unlike Gimpshop. That is my opinion but you also need to use the Gimp when you need to. In the afternoon, we had our Ethics assignment from Mr. Ron. We went through the do's and donts of what to do here at Shodor. Mr. Ron came in to the classrom wearing a New York jersey with a new york cap. The impression I got from that class is that we need to dress and act professionally here at Shodor. Then unfortunately it was time to go.
December 8,2007
On December 8th, we did basic CSS. Our teacher Ishmael Torres was a good teacher. We learned the basics such as text alignment, colors backgrounds classes. Basically we need a selector, which is telling where to apply the property, which is going to be changed and the value changes it. CSS is a little tricky but worth while. In the afternoon we did math. Mrs. Bethany told us that we had to be tested in our math skills.
December 22,2007
On December 22nd, we went over our CSS. We reviewed the CSS and answered any questions we had. In the second half of class, we started Javascript. I learned that Javascript is is sort of a decision maker in programming. Javascript is used in applications. It stores the first page and then the second. When you are finished with the whole application, it is over it sends in to the server. If Javascript wasnt there it would take a long time to finish the application and you ouldn't be able to revise it.
January 26,2008
On January 26th we had the introduction to AgentSheets. I felt Agentsheets was good program. We had problems with Agentsheets, Mr. Matthew taught us this class. I remember, it started snowing that day. In the second half of class we were allowed to start on the growing grass project. I finished the grass growing parts.
February 2, 2008
On February 2nd we basically had the first half of class to just work on projects. That morning, I worked on my AgentSheets assignment. I had to start over because my the file was lost. AgentSheets tends to do that. In the second half, Mrs. Patricia taught the class advanced agentsheets. I had the grass growing and my rabbits were actually eating the grass towards the end of the day.
