5th period-What are you wondering/feeling/thinking about this class and this school year? by Reagan B Mcdonald https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r Answer the question in complete sentences and title it with your full name. en-us 2021-08-10 16:15:36 UTC 2025-11-18 04:27:17 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f60e.png Sahana Gadgil https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676130083 This school year I wonder how I will balance volleyball/extracurriculars, business, and school. As in incoming freshman, I will have to work on time management skills to excel in everything I do. English class was never my strong suit. I want to expand my knowledge in this subject. ]]> 2021-08-12 00:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676130083 Aaron Yang https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676170469 I am thinking about how my teachers are like and how well I can do in my classes this year. I want to get get to know how my teachers are like and get used to coming back to face to face learning.]]> 2021-08-12 01:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676170469 Aashna Parekh https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676174043 I am wondering if we will be reading a lot of different books of different genres for class assignments. During ELA in past years, these assignments have been my favorite since they allow me to really analyze the book and find new favorites. I am wondering if this school year will be any different due to COVID and how that will affect the students. 

I'm thinking/feeling that this class will really make me open my eyes to different literary genres and also help me learn more about grammar in general. I feel like this school year is going to enable everyone to find new ways to do things and learn.

I am feeling good about this class and school year because I feel that the school is more organized because they are putting everyone in face-to-face school rather than letting the choice of it stay optional. I have been thinking that I will try my best to find reading more enjoyable by looking for more books that might match my interests.]]> 2021-08-12 01:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676189799 Elena Nutzman https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676193505 This year, I am wondering how it will be for me transitioning from an online learning environment to a face to face learning environment in ELA. I am feeling excited for the coming school year particularly in ELA, because I can't wait to read new books. I am thinking that this year has the potential to be exciting, enlightening, and fun!]]> 2021-08-12 01:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676193505 Kubra Sakinan https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676203611 I'm curious about the projects we will be doing later on in the year since I saw many artistic and creative decorations in class today. I feel a bit overhwelmed coming into a completely new place and seeing so many older students however Im also very eager to make new friends and start fresh. I'm thinking that this school year will be hard to adopt to since we havent been to school for a year and a half along with all the covid procedures. Either way I am extreamly thrilled for this year.]]> 2021-08-12 01:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676203611 Shubham Agarwal https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676208187 I am thinking about how the school year will go and if I'll enjoy my classes. I'm also wondering how many people I'll know in my classes. For this class, I am wondering what we'll learn and if I will improve my writing skills. ]]> 2021-08-12 01:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676208187 Emily Zeng https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676208714 I am wondering how I am going to manage my time with afterschool activities such as clubs and volunteer hours as well as keeping up with all my classes. I look forward to being able to discover a new genre or book series that interests me, along with improving my writing skills and vocabulary use. I am thinking that I have the potential to improve myself and do better this year.]]> 2021-08-12 01:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676208714 Aarnav Gopinath https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676218913 I am thinking about how I will adjust to high school coming from middle school, as well as readjusting to the school environment after being online for a year. For ELA, I am feeling good about the class and I want to improve my writing skills, as well as my comprehension skills.]]> 2021-08-12 01:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676218913 Lucas Wat https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676220837 About this class, I am wondering about how we'll operate.
I feel annoyed having to carry/use two composition books; no other class requested that.
I think this class will be okay, as we did some fun activities today, and the rules/syllabus seem fair enough.

I'm wondering if this school year truly should be face-to-face, as there's already some cases of students testing positive for Covid-19 at Austin High School. On the other hand, students sometimes barely pay attention when on online class, but it's more organized.
I feel partially unsafe from Covid, but pretty excited about seeing everyone again.
I think the school will be pretty crowded; so many people cramming into the school and its hallways.]]> 2021-08-12 01:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676220837 Francesco Mirto https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676231012 I am wondering about the difficulty level of the class. I am thinking about if I will not know much of the material and will be confused in the class. I hope it does not end up being too much.

I am also thinking how I will adapt to face to face learning since I have been doing online school for quite some time. I hope I learn a lot in English class and I also hope to improve my vocabulary. I am a little concerned about Covid-19 and how the school will accommodate it. But I’m sure it will be a wonderful experience and a great opportunity to get to know others and make new friends.]]> 2021-08-12 02:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676236664 Nathan Tam https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676284033 I am wondering if this class will be difficult. I am thinking about how much different a high school English class would be compared to a middle school one.

I am wondering how this school year is going to go with a majority of the freshman having been online and going into a new school. I am feeling kind of nervous about high school sports. I am thinking about how will Covid-19 affect our school year.

I am feeling very strong about getting to class on time because of the fact that my 4th period class is not that far from English, which I am very grateful about! I also am feeling confident about the the potential I have with gaining lots of knowledge in this class. I am thinking about the new year and how excited I am to learn more about the English subject and how I could further enhance my proficiency in this class than before. ]]> 2021-08-12 02:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676285701 Kyle Chapman https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676286958 I am wondering how difficult the classes are going to be compared to middle school. I am feeling that this class is going to be a good challenge for me because middle school English was much easier. I am thinking that the variant of Covid-19 might end up affecting this school year and putting us back to online school.]]> 2021-08-12 02:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676286958 Jaden Chackonal https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676297121 I am thinking if we are going to have group projects. Online group projects really sucked but hopefully in school is better.
I'm thinking if I will pass Spanish this year because in general, I'm really bad at Spanish. I feel as if this class is going to be on of my better ones.]]> 2021-08-12 03:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676297121 Isa Smith-Willhouse https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676303581 I am wondering how I'll be able to adjust coming from online classes back to face to face classes. If I'll be able to keep a time management for all of my classes, so I don't get behind. I feel like I'll have an amazing time here and get to know all of my teachers better this year. For English, I feel like I might struggle in the beginning, but later in the year I feel like I'll be able to grasp onto all materials that we'll be going over in class. I hope that all of my classes won't be that hard, but also to be a great learning experience. ]]> 2021-08-12 03:07:50 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676303581 About this class, I feel excited! Last year's ELA class was difficult for me, so I hope that things will change for this year. The environment created today was fun, warming, and kind, and I hope that energy is kept up throughout the year! I am wondering how group projects will go though since I would love to work closely with friends after spending almost two years apart! At the same time, I hope to make many new friends this year, and make good grades! Regarding this school year though, I hope I am able to grow academically and mentally in a way! I want to strive for higher goals and be successful, but we'll only know as time goes on! https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676305573 2021-08-12 03:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676305573 https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676313279 I am very excited for this class this year!! The group of kids that we have in the class this year everyone is very nice and respectful to each other from the vibes i got today and we seem to have an amazing teacher to guide us in the right path this year!! I’m always really looking forward to group projects and interacting with other students!! ]]> 2021-08-12 03:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676313279 Hajar Qadri https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1676365048 I am wondering if this class will be difficult and if I will be able to do good in this class. I'm also wondering if I will be able to get along with everyone in my class and hope that I can make new friends in the class. However, even though I am afraid of a lot of things this school year, including the fact that everyone is coming back and some people may or may not get sick, I am also very excited to be getting back to school and seeing everyone and doing work in person. I hope that this year I am able to work to my fullest and be able to put in my best work.

Also the amount of homework that I'll have and how much time it'll take to complete it on time with having homework from all of my classes. The time is also a big adjustment from what I'm used to compared to summer and middle school. I think with time and friends it'll get easier along the year to get used to this new schedule.]]> 2021-08-12 21:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1677354932 Mohammad Sheikh https://padlet.com/reaganmcdonald/6t3q024a6ox0u40r/wish/1677396791 Im wondering how hard the classes are going to be compared to middle school.
