Technology

Technology is probaly of  the most important thing that was created. Without technology we wouldn't be able to do many things. Without it i probaly wouldn't even be writting this right now. Instead we would probaly using a pen or a pencil to write this.We all know that its more fun typing then writting. Well there could be many  advantages in using tecnology. For example, if you spell a word wrong then there would be a line underneath it saying that is spelled wrong. What if some kids really didnt know the correct spelling then that would give them a better grade then they really deserve. But on the other hand it could be a good tool also because you could google something that you didnt know and you would get atleast 100 differnt answes and that could help you with whatever your doing. We could also do many educational thing as well. For example you could do studyisland.,learnia,  worksheets and manymore. Weather its on you phone, the laptop, or your i pod touch you could do may tasks.

Some people use tecnology for unessary things too. They are to addicted to games and unnecessary things . They take advantage of  the internet and dont use it as a useful tool. Instead they "pretend" that they are doing homework but instead they are just staring at the laptop or whatever other tecnology tool wasting their time. Tecnology could be a good tool if you use it wisely. Like Mrs. Patalano. She bought little devices called the clickers and you type in your answer and it would show up on her handy dandy  smartboard. How cool is that! Its fun and its educational at the same time.

Tecnolgy has had an MAJOR inpact on all our lives. Weather we us it in a good or bad way its still affects us today.

Welcome Miss.Carroll

      Hey!!! I am Bijal Patel. I'm from Lincoln Elementary. I tend to be quite and shy but when you get to know me real well I can be loud and talkative at times. I absolutely love Herbert Hoover Middle School. Its fun and not boring. In English class during 4th and 5th period is the only time of the school day witch is exciting. Sitting in s.s, science, and math class  can get a little boring but sitting in English class it doesn't seem to happen even of it a whole two periods. Our English class is prob ally the best. We can get real loud and ask too many questions but it never gets old.  My favorite period of the day is 7th period because its gym. I get to meet all my other friends who are on the other teams and be active.It is the only period of the day witch doesn't involve sittin in a chair and answer questions. Sometimes that can get really tiring and boring.  
       We start every english class by doing a do now. It is a paper and we have a quote of the day. a word of the day and grammer. Ireally dilike the grammer part of the worksheet because it can get confussing at times. Then Mrs. Patalano goes over it with us. After that cycle we go on with the real learnin of the day. We go over essays, thake quizzes and test and may more things, The most thing i hate about English is the Typing test that is every monthe and grammer. I dont like the typing test beacuse its a test witch you do on the enternet and it counts as a quiz grade. I also dont like grammer because we have to learn it everyday and week and sometimes it get boring and we have a quiz on it every friday. The part i love about english is the reading and the vocabulary. i like vocabulary because it is fun and im really good at memorizing stuff. I also like reading because it doesnt involve writting and it takes you mind away from everything else. The way Mrs. Patalano teaches us thing is an excellant way. Unlike other teachers she lets us wirk in teams. She turn the boringest lessons into the funnest things every. She is the most organized teacher i have ever met! She is very nice and funny. I hopoe you enjoy your time with us at HHMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(P.S- i HOPE YOU LIKE PERIODS 4 AND 5)

My career goals

          Even as a kid its never to early to start thinking about what your future might be like. For example, what you might what to study, what collage you want to go to or maybe even where your what house you want to live in after 15 years! As a kid it might sound TO YOUNG to start thinking about your  future goals but its never too late. The years are going to pass by very quickly. As an kid i think i might want to become a pharmacist or a pharma tec. Although, every since i was a little kid i always played with playing medicine containers. I would open it up and put beads in it and pretend that it was medicine that  would cure you. As years past by i really started to think that the playing with  fake medicine containers could really lead me to something and it did . I have decided that i would want to become a pharmacist. Even if it might have a great amount of salary i rather work at/with something that i enjoy then rather do something that is boring and do it just to earn a living. In order to accomplish this gaol i would have to go to collage. I'm thinking of going to Keans University, Brown Collage Rutgers University. I have heard most people say that the two collage's were good. I would truly like to go to Keans University but earthier three are fine with me.
        After graduating from collage i would like to work in the State of new Jersey.I could maybe even work at my our family pharmacy in Newark. Going to collage and finishing it and getting a job might be far but thinking about your future might even help you when you get into high school when you have to find out what you might want to become.

My New Years resolutions

The New Year is the time I make new New years resolutions to improve myself in some good way. This year one of my New Years resolution is to stay in the A honor roll. In the previous marking period I made it but if I continue to but my effort into all of my work I might make it in to it again all three marking periods. Not only will it help me but it will lead to me having a new laptop if I get all A’s on my report card. In order to accomplish this wish i must try my best and but all of my 100% effort into all the work I do. If I accomplish this I will have a very outgoing year.
