EDRG 3344 M&W

Hello guys, sorry I wasn’t able to attend class and share some of my memories and hear from y'all. :( I had an emergency to go to and thank god everything is good.

One of my biggest crying memories was when my dog Filipo passed away like 2 years ago. He was the most and sweetest dog I ever had. I had him for 12 amazing years until one time he got really sick. One time I had got out of work and went home and the first thing they told me when I walked in was that Filipo was not doing well. I walked outside to go see him, and my first reaction when I saw him I started crying because I had never seeing him like that, he looked so sad, weak, and couldn’t even walk. I told my parents let’s take him to the doctor and they said “the only thing they can do is put him to sleep and I was like noo, I want him alive I need him”. I went back outside and the next thing I see him laying down the other side of the house and I went to grab a blanket to cover him, I sat next to him telling about when he was little and the mess he use to do. Lol I couldn’t help seeing him like that. The next day he got worse he couldn’t even stand up and his legs were already too weak. I was with my dad cleaning the backyard and the next thing my dog did, he went up to my dad and put his head in my dad’s leg and he was like telling him something. He walks couple steps and like out of nowhere he falls and I ran to him and I was like please wake up and he was still breathing but it was he’s last moments and I hugged him and once I did he closed his eyes and he stopped breathing and I couldn’t see this I couldn’t even believed it and like 5 seconds he wakes up all the way and fell back and that was the last breathe he took and never woke up. It was so hard to be there and see this; I was crying so much I couldn’t believe it, he was gone and forever. I missed him so much and we all do! :(

3344 M&W BLOG 4

Hello guys,
Well yesterday I really had fun with the “About Me” book activity. I really thought it was really cute :)
I will totally use this activity for my students. I also learned the different types of Personal writing we use in life. Texting is one of the things I love to do. I am not addicted to it but I prefer texting than talking. I have more time to do things such as, while I am washing dishes I can text but I can’t talk because I can’t use my hand to hold the phone and talk while I am washing dishes.
One of the things I will like to talk about “my about me” is I work at HEB. I believe it’s a great job and I will love to appreciate my partners by writing them this letter:

Dear HEB partners,
I have being working for you guys for 2 amazing years. I will love to appreciate every moment all you partners for teaching me something new everyday and how we all make a better place to shop at HEB. J I have learned how to provide good and better customer service and how to keep the Vital 5, which is 1. Greet the customer 2. Interact 3. Offer Wow items 4. Thank them 5. Ask if they need help. I learned so much and I would love to recognize all my managers for supporting all partners and the same with our customers. I look forward to staying with you guys for more couple years. I love all my PARTNERS!!! :)
Here everything is BETTER!!!
-Veronica

EDRG 3344 IF I WON...

If I won the lottery worth millions of dollars, I would probably faint as my 1st reaction but it will be of excitement. I can imagine myself jumping up and down screaming “AY DIOS MIO, NO LO PUEDO CREER GANE LA LOTERIA...AHHH”. I would not believe it myself.
The next thing I would be running to my family to show them the surprised. ¿Que compraria, hmmm? First of all I will take my time to talk about it with my family. I can imagine myself with so many things such as traveling the world is one of the biggest moments I would love to experience. For an example I would love to go to France, Paris, Germany, and somewhere out of the country.
One of the main things, I would help out my family with the bills, my brothers and as well as myself with paying for my college tuition. I am one of those people, where I know I won’t go crazy with money because I know it is important to save it until we know how to spend it.
But in my dreams I would love to buy myself a lot of cars such as a Scion, Honda, and a motorcycle. As you can see I love sports cars. :) I will love to buy me a huge amazing house like the ones in the dominions WOW! I would also go shopping spree and buy me all this expensive purses of all different kinds. There are so many things to buy with the lottery money.
But If I won the lottery ticket, I would be crying how happy and excited I will be and how I will thank god for the opportunity he will give me.

EDRG 3344 Writing Process

Hello Everyone, I hope YA’LL HAD A GREAT DAY! =)
Ok, today I want to talk about writing is a……….p-r-o-c-e-s-s, which makes process! Yayy
It contains 5 steps to make a complete paper: Pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing and publish.
1. Pre-writing- Helps organize your thoughts and ideas. For an example Semantic maps, story board, burger (order of sequence) and etc. can help organize it. Here you can brainstorm the setting, plot and characters. Pre-writing is more like gathering different ideas and from there you can choose which fits best.
2. Drafting- Is like creating a rough draft, (first paper before writing your final paper). It can be written like a paper, journal, blog, or in a computer.
3. Revising- This is when you can change/add or delete sentences as well as content and ideas. We use this part in the drafting paper in order to create a good final paper.
4. Editing- Is when you check for misspelling words/Capt./punctuation.PUBLISH! - Finally after following the Process steps, you have created a good paper and ready to show your audience how well you have done your paper

5. PUBLISH! - Finally after following the Process steps, you have created a good paper and ready to show your audience how well you have done your paper. =)

BLOG #2 3344.351


Hello PEEPS!!
OKk so today it was a really fun day in class. I felt like I was back in elementary lol
especially when Mrs. Harris read us the book, "If you Give a Pig a Pancake". :)
Well we had to get into our home groups to do an activity like the circular sequencing we did today. It was pretty fun because we got to blow bubbles even if ours was broken lol it didnt want to blow not even one bubble. We also got to eat pancakes..yummmy yummy.
Anywho a circular story is when you start off with an object and end up with the same object. For an example today: We had to do a circular sequence for the book, "If you Give a Pig a Pancake", we had to list the events in order starting off with pancakes, syrup, bath, bubbles, rubber duck , farm and back to pancakes. I believe we can use circular story in many ways, such as the circular story wheel we did today, I think we can make puppets and show what comes first and next and so on, having create their own circular story, working in groups and calling it out like we did today too.
Reading can be fun and sometimes a little boring. But we as (teachers) we have to make it fun for the students in order to engaged them to participate and get into it and know whats really going on in the story. Having activities is one way to engage them and have fun with the story, making puppets for the characters in the book, reading in groups and have snacks that has to do with the story. For an example, last semester I had to read about donuts and how to make them and what I did was I took donuts to them so we can have a little snack while reading the book and I also had picture donuts to cut off and colored them. :) There is so many ways and more to learn from others and be able to use them too.
