Last blog post of the school year

I'm sad to say this is my last post for Rogate. I had a great time this year and I'm sad to be leaving. This year in Rogate class has been fun, interesting and no doubt my favorite class. I'm going to miss this class. My favorite part of Rogate was the things we got to learn. We did projects and lessons on things we wouldn't normally learn in regular classes and we discusses our views on the topics as well. The class discussions we had throughout the year were great. Rogate introduced me to a lot of new interesting things that I'm glad to have learned.My favorite project we've had was the Google 20% project. This was my favorite because I got to spend time learning about something I enjoyed. We also used blogs in Rogate but we didn't get a chance to use them often. In order to use these more effectively, I think a topic should be assigned  each week that the students will write about and have the students comment on each others blogs. Also, I think we should use our blogs like we use our Edmodo. I'm glad to say that I will be taking the Gifted and talented Seminar I next year and I'm very excited. But I am going to miss the middle school especially my friends who will be leaving and the teachers. I'm excited though to finally be in high school  and I'm starting to realize how old I am. It feels like yesterday we just started our first day in Rogate. I'm ready for the challenges that face me. I plan to spend my summer playing basketball, going on tumblr, stalking one direction,going to the beach, and hanging out with friends. I'm also looking forward to no homework for 2 months(except for the summer assignments) and warm weather. This year's been great and I can't wait to see what kind of fun things we'll do next year.
