Vehicle Repair Class

I would add a class that teaches students how to reconstruct old and broken down vehicles. The class would meet at any time during the day but it would be a double period. The students would study the different parts of vehicles and for major exams they will reconstruct parts of a car. It would look like an auto body shop, it would feel like an open area, it would be loud at times when the students are working. To show what the students learned, for the final exam they will reconstruct a broken down car.

How old do you really look? This website will tell you in seconds

• You're only as old as you think you are. Or in this case, as old as a computer algorithm thinks you are.
• Microsoft has created a website that tells you how old you look just by analyzing your photo.
• Sometimes it's dead on. Other times it's hilariously, outrageously wrong.

Spring Break

Spring Break

My spring break was fun and enjoyable. On Thursday after schoool I had a small, duel track meet against Wood-Ridge and North Arlington. We did okay as a team but it was more of a learning experience. The best part of the track meet was when my brother Ralf, Jose Aguedelo, Mark Whaley and Javon Drakeford got Greg Carmona disqualified while he was running begause we were running along side him on the field. On Friday nothing interesting happened other than me sleeping and relaxing all day.

We had another track meet on the Saturday before Easter. It was a big one with 16 schools.The wind handicapped our preformances. We did alright in that one too but no one won any medals. My events got cancelled so I sat with my friends behind the bleechers because it was warm there.  Everyone brought blankets because it was really windy and cold outside but we had to wear shorts and a tanktop.(something like this). The blankets really helped us with fighting the wind.

The rest of the spring break I played fifa15 with my brother and I lifted weights with my brother and Jose. I would fall asleep to calm music.

Web 2.0: Multimedia Blog Pre-Posting

My physical education class is really fun. We get a lot of excersice and have a lot of fun. Ms.Roder is a fun teacher and she does fun activities in gym. She is always energized and that carries over ino us when we're doing our activities. We also have fitness tests which aren't really much fun but they make us excersise.

The activities we did in class were speedball, basketball, and going down to the weightroom. Speedball was fun because we all played and it got very competitive. Basketball is really fun because everyone in the period plays and we have a lot of fun. In the weightroom we have a lot of fun because we lift weights and work out, we also talk with eachother and get pretty big. When I was in the weightroom i worked out with Matthew Santi.

Ms. Roder's grading policy can be found in her website. It is -5 points for preperation and -5 points for participation. She gives us written tests after every 3 weeks when we finish our activity and start a new one. We had to do fitness activities like the pacer test, the flexibility test, and the reach test.

My first post (this year)

Hello my name is Tedi Turka, and I'm a 15 year old freshman. I have an older brother in eleventh grade. I like basketball and football but I can only play basketball. I don't like the typical things like homework and waking up before 7:00 a.m. My friends in Web 2.0 are Andrew and Matt. For college I'm hoping to go somewhere in state and preferably a university.
