We had our last day of the TLI today. I started in the TLI in 2006 and I worked with Mr. Elliot.
He was my computing 1 teacher and my computing 2 teacher was Darla. Betsy taught me how to use a blog and powerpoint. Alice taught me reading, writing and editing. I worked with Alice for 3 years. We did reading, a book report and editingon the computer.
I also took a serve safe course and got help with math.
In 2012, Julia taught me fractions. She goes to Bryn Mawr.
On January 26th, 2012, Julia and I met for the first time to talk about our goals for the semester.
We were trying to get to know each other. I told Julia that I wanted to learn how to use fractions, how to edit and how to improve my reading. Julia asked me what time we should meet.We decided to meet on Tuesday and Fridays. In our first meetings, Julia taught me how to add, multiply, divide, subtract and simplify fractions.
1/2 x 1/4 = 1/8
1/2 -.- 1/3 = 11/2
I wanted to learn about fractions so that I could double recipes when I bake. I used adding
fractions when I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch, and I doubled the recipes. After we finished with fractions,we started doing editing.We did sentences like this: Did you know that I like spaghetti? -Did you know that I do not like spaghetti?
Here are some example of things we worked on in 101 clear Grammar Test:
Personal pronouns: we, me, I, you, he, she, it, they, us.
Question words [Interrogative pronouns]- who, where, why, what, when
Prepositions; under, above, on, in, behind, below, etc.
We also worked on verb tenses like these:
Simple past tense: I run - ran, I walk -walked, she climb -she climbed
Progressive tense; They are playing
Past progressive; They were playing
It was absolutely wonderful working with you this semester. I'll see you around in the fall.
