My summer was good, I traveled a lot, I went to Nebraska for my 48th state and I went to Canada and cooperstown for hockey and baseball. I think it is important to be an active participant in class because you can learn new and more improved details in the subject that you are learning. You can help me by making study links on google classroom for flashcards and study games and study guides for if I lose papers or if i missplace them.

It is important to be an active participant in class because if we are not active, we won't learn as well, which might mean we fail a test or exam.

I had a pretty good summer. I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. I also did a few training camps for golf and football. It is important to be active in class because if you feel you are struggling and cannot answer questions, then once you participate anyway, you'll learn more for future tests and assignments. I learn well through Quizizz and Quizlet.
