Young Artists For Haiti

Wavin' Flag, that was created for Haiti, I think has a had a impact on people especially in Canada just because now it is showing that as Canadians our help is needed in Haiti. This really shows how Canadians come together as one to help out another, as 25 artists came together to create this song. The artists of this song have taken responsibility to help Haiti and to help aware of others of how big Haiti's problem is. These artists very caring and genuine people. Remember that these artists did not have to help with this song, it was something they chose to do because they wanted to help out. When I heard this song it made me think of how I could do my part and help out. I quickly bought the "Hope For Haiti" CD on iTunes so that the money went straight to Haiti. I try to help others in need as much as I can, usually I donate my old clothes or items to a certain place for people in need. If we all helped a little our world would be even better.

Grade Book

On Friday, April 16th I received my grade book from my tag teacher and I was pleased with the marks I have. I am proud of how I have a high mark in math and english especially, and also just in general how lots of my marks are in the 90's. My tag mark needs more work, just because I forgot to blog a couple of times which brought my mark down from the start of the year. It shouldn't be too hard to get my mark back up to a 90% in tag because I should be able to do make up assignments. I do not have specific goals for my final grade but I want to aim for a 90% average overall. My best grade so far I received with this grade book was my french mark, 98%. I do really like actual marks instead of a letter grade like we had in elementary school because it gives you the exact mark you deserve. With letter grades if you fall just below the letter grade's requirements it makes it seem worse. Overall I am proud with how I am doing in school and I plan to carry that on until the end of the year.

Spring Break

Spring break '10 was a well needed break for myself and I believe many other students as well. I was busy with friends each day and just had lots of fun going here and there. I think that is good for students to get away from school for a little while. It gives us a little time to rest and then come back into school until summer. I feel that for myself it is needed because sometimes you just need to get away from school for a little while. Teachers can't sit back and say that they disagree with spring break either because they know that they too need a break from school. It also allows them to prepare for the last couple months of school that are left in the year.

I think that getting out of school a week early in June would be a great plan if it didn't mean that spring break was taken out of our holidays. Seriously, who wouldn't want to get an extra week of summer? I doubt that it will happen without taking out spring break because I believe that the school board knows that spring break is needed for students and teachers.
