Setting Goals

For this school year I would like to have straight A's. Also being able to pass my math classes. For my behavior I would like to work more on my focusing, and getting work done when it is suppose to be done. And for my behavior in class I would like to be more on task, and goof off less. And get along better with the other students.



In my future I would like to keep on dancing, maybe as a dancer in a music video, or in a movie. I would like to see myself going to college for dance. I also would like to work hard and become a fashion designer. Most of all though, my goal is to have a celebrity wear one of my dresses on the red carpet and have a reporter ask who are you wearing, and them say my fashion label!

Celilo Falls

It is a village that was an amazing place to fish, and many tribes lived off the river. Celilo is located close to The Dalles, On the Columbia River. It was turned into a dam by the government and they have also built a railroad, and a fishery with a fish ladder. It is close to Portland so it must look busy not as beautiful and natural as before. It made it home for the Indiana's because it was where they got all their food supple.

Right or Wrong

I am 17 and I would like to say I know right from wrong, but there are still times when I think getting even is the only solution at the time. I have been taught better then that by my parents and family member's, but when I do not sit down and think about things I can make a big mess. But I am trying to remember two wrongs do not make a right. Another thing I need to remember is just because your watching a fight doesn't mean your not going to get in trouble. Because you did not stop it, and I can say I have gotten a little bit better with that, leaving and not being a part of something wrong. But I could always work harder on being less involved with people who chose the wrong.I can personally say I am good at knowing wrong from right its just knowing when to walk away is what I need to work on.

Salmon Watch Revisited

Well I when we went to the salmon the most interesting thing I learned that i did not already know was how important the little insects are that are in the water. These bugs are called Micro-Invertebrates, and just from being there for a little while with John Yoder I learn so much. You can tell if a stream is polluted or not, and see if the water is too hot or if its good. You can tell these things by going into the streams and catching the bugs and seeing which one are in there. And from looking at them you can see which ones are in there, and if certain ones are gone that means there is pollution because the there are many bugs who are very sensitive. I am glad I learned this, and I know it come in handy some day.

How Am I Doing? (Progress Grades)

Well yes I am all caught up, finally! I think this class is so a great, and amazing! Every one is so unique in their own way, and truly awesome people. I also think that both of the teachers here are so positive, and smart. You can really tell the like being here with us, and helping us grow. I am a very lucky person to be here. =]

The Story of Your Name

Well my first name is from Britain, and my last name is from Spain.My name means Light Skinned, which is funny because I am light skinned. And my last name is a small river Located in the Rioja Alta. I am not to sure, but I am just going to say my first name is from Britain, and my last name is from Spain.My name "Wendy" came from Gwendolen. And Gwendolen was a Queen The wife of King Locrinus of the Britons. Well she was in a battle with him, and she defeated him, and had his new wife killed. It also says "Your 'Numerology' number is 3. You are enthusiastic, creative, optimistic, and fun-loving. You seek self-expression through words or the arts, and enjoy learning through life experiences."

movie madness

1. Well personally I love lifetime movies. Ever since I was little I would watch Lifetime movies with my mom and aunts. I love these movies because every single one is life based, so they teach you a lot.



2.
1.Prom Night
2.WALL-E
3.Rent
4.A Beautiful Mind
5.Things We Lost In The Fire
6. Monster inlaw



3. I think if I had a choice on picking the movie we were watching in class it would be to either watch Rent or Things We Lost In The Fire. I have seen both of these movies in the last five months. I think they would teach us a lot but in a way that we would connect. Because I learn from them.

YAR - Rite of Passage

Well I heard one time that some Native Americans have to put their hands on a piece of wood that has a hot tip to become a man. I also have heard some cultures have a symbol to represent each person, and there strengths. Another example is being able to hunt on your own, and survive by yourself.

In my culture some rites of passage are quincenera, graduations, and your first job, also marriage, and children.

Being able to go to public dances like clubs, and some party's. In my house you are not aloud to go to places like that until you are older, and more responsible like a young adult.

Well in my life the biggest rite of passage would have to be being an advance modern dancer, and intermittent ballet dancer. I have worked very hard to prove I am dedicated enough, and responsible enough for both classes.
