Although it may be a ways away, Christmas is coming up! With all COVID-19 related shipping problems, I would advise to start your holiday shopping NOW.
2. Cozy Socks!
3. Card games! Everyone loves a little bit of good ol’ uno.
4. Stickers! Random, but effective.
Although there is definitely going to be some hate towards this post, Journalism is the BEST elective. You cannot change my mind. Journalism is amazing because you get to start your own blog and do fun activities to share with the world. (If you somehow get your site link out there) And if writing and prompt activities aren’t your thing, there is also a photography unit where you have a photography prompt, and you can go outside and take photos with (usually) a group of your choice. During the photography unit, we learn how to use the cameras and sometimes mess around a bit, resulting in some fun and silly photos. We also complete a podcast unit, which is really fun. The class gets to record alone or with a friend on a topic they want to talk about and we will complete about a 5 episode series and each episode is about 5-10 minutes long. Mrs. Steel is also one of the reasons this elective is so great. She is a very chill teacher and has fun lesson activities, while managing a class of mixed 7th and 8th graders. Journalism is the best!
Some items from the journalism photography unit:
hello, my name is Emma, i am Allys BPFF! (best potterhead friends forever!)
i have been asked to write a post and have been told it can be about anything, so, i will write about harry potter! Harry Potter is a wizard, the only child of James and Lily Potter. He is famous for having survived an attack by Lord Voldemort when he was a baby. He is also sometimes known as ‘The Boy Who Lived’. For the first eleven years of his life Harry lives with his mean aunt and uncle and is unaware of his wizarding blood. while he is also known as “the boy who lived” i like to call him “the cutest boy who lived.” he is tied with draco though. harry potter is honestly a pretty vague topic so im deciding to write about the hair evolution and rating it!
first, harry potter:
in his first year he looks really cute and innocent, so i give it 6/10.
second year is pretty much the same so…. 6/10
third year makes me cry and i give it 100000000000000000/10
fourth year is a bit to long for my liking. but harry is always hot so 8/10
fifth year made a big change, and normally i would give it 9/10, but with that look on his face! definite 10/10
that picture for sixth is hillarious, and reminds me of my fav scene. (when harry takes felix felicis! “harry!” “sirRrR”) 9/10!!!
im sorry, but deathly hallows, year seven. im just not a fan.. of anyone really, but like i said, hes really cute so 7/10!
next i will do draco! (because i cant choose whos cuter!!!!!)
ok so… first year is just absolutley adorable. so 8/10!
second is kinda awkward, 6/10
third is 1000000000000000000000000/10
fourth is 10/10
fifth is 10/10
sixth is 9/10
seventh is 8/10 (im not liking that facial structure though…)
i hope you have enjoyed this blog post! in the comments post who your crush is!

Since March 12, 2020, the world has been in a crazy time with a virus going around. And because of the nature of the COVID-19 virus, we had to stay at home for a while. For the rest of the interrupted 2019-2020 school year, people did school on their laptops at home. This was tough for many people, and this virus shut down the world. It also deeply split American people, mainly democrats and republicans. This is not really a subject I would like to elaborate on, after all the things it caused. After the 2019-2020 school year ended, the summer broke out, and airlines were mainly shut down, so not a lot of travel, so many people stayed home for a few months. Then once the summer ended, havoc broke out when the new school year started. It was hard on many people, especially the teachers. they had to teach the extra 70 kid class on top of all the other period classes they had to teach. But soon the vaccines rolled out, making the accessibility to school and work more applicable to people. In the end, we came together, and the world recovered.
(Disclaimer: Please do not give hate on this post, I am just identifying the problem at hand, and how we are solving it)
Harry Potter is a magical franchise that is very popular world wide. You may know it by the books, the movies, the parks, or even people just talking about it. But back in 1997 when it first was released, it wasn’t super popular. Because of the fact that it had magic and witchcraft in it, which made religious leaders angry, because a children’s book had ideas of magic and magical people. But things eased up overtime. After the first few book releases it started to get popular. Every time a book was released at midnight, people would line up for hours to get their hands on the next book. This was called potter mania. One of the reasons that harry potter was so special was because it made kids want to read.
