Welcome back!


Bearing in mind that two more months are missing before you move on to 7th, I would like you to reflect on this quotation

"Constant effort and frequent mistakes are the stepping stones to genius."

Elbert Hubbard

Hello Miss Ale
This two months are going tobe hard but with a little of efort and reflecting on owr past mistakes we can past a good time learning. Nowing that this two following months are going to hard we have to pae attencion and use our one skills recuayred up to now in primary. If we got a mark below 7 we can practice and use our one skills to get a full mark. With a bit of nolege we can achive eny gol for school that we want. I WISH I HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH MY FRIENDS!!!

Dear Miss Ale:
I know that usually the last term is short, but not easy. This is the time to fill the marks that we had below 7 in the last term, because if you don't fill them, we will have to come in December. But all the same, I think that this year was easy, like a review of
5th. And, I don't have any subject to fill. That doesn't mean that I don't have to put effort, but maybe, those who have subjects down do need to make a bigger effort than me.
Are you going to the trip on choir? Miss Florence is. My sister told me that before, you went. I think I am going to have a good time there. WELL MISS ALE, I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD AFTERNOON, AND A GREAT WEEK!!!!
CHEERS!

HI Miss Ale
Im so scared and happy. Because of the end of year getting closer it makes me feel that so many things are going to change and that can be good somtimes changes make a good thing to us but sometimes it scares you because you can't predict how this change will be. If I am going to get higher marks or lower well I am going to do my best and not only next year but this year also because. I feel like I put alot of pontencial in this tear but i feeel like it wasn't all my pontenciall and that is something I learned because I was not understading Geometry. I thought it was all my potentiall but when i tried more I realised that it was not all it was just a little and that I could do much more so now I understand it and try to put my best. Also that my friends will change in a way because my best friend will not be the same maybe but i am also exited cause I now people from punta chica and I will be in class with them it will not be completely new but we will be toghether alot of time not only with my class friends but with other people.

I think this quote means that in this last term, although it is very short, it is very difficult. All the final test are coming and the last chance to, if you have a lower mark thatn seven in something you can make it higher so we can all go to Mascardi! Well, back to the quote... as I said, this is the last but hardest term of the year, we are going to make mistakes, but we have to put all the effort we can rich all of our goals. We have to go step by step to reach what we all want, 7th grade. So the quote means that now we have to effort and we can have some frequent mistakes, they reach us to be genius! Also I think it means that sixth year is the last step to success.
Until now I found 6 year easy, not so easy but not difficult. I don't have to fill any subject, or work more hard. Of course I can always work more hard, and I have my preocupations. But in general I think I am fine.
THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SO MUCH HOUSEPOINT TODAY, I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE GOING TO BE SO MUCH!!!
THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS POSTING A COMMENT ON THE BLOG...
see you soon...

Hello miss Ale
You´re right, it is true, in two months time, we are moving on to 7th... And, I interpreted this quotation like this:
In a way, mistakes are good, because you learn how not to make them again, and you put all your effort so as not to make them again.
I also understood that by putting frequent effort in your scholar goals, and by commiting mistakes (and obviously trying to learn from them), you´r on track to 7th year...
See you tomorrow ale

Dear Miss Ale: I LOVED THIS WONDERFULL QUOTATION!!!!!!
I think that this quotation is very significant for us because of the big change you teacher are prepering us to have a very good year with other new friends!!!!!
I think that this quiotations means that you can ALWAYS make big or small mistakes, you should always beare in mind how good will this mistake be for your future,and most important of all, you should always remember not to be sad because of your mistake. The only thins that are constantley people looking of us is how we put EFFORT to things and how we get to the correct result by the way we never thought that could be possible, by MISTAKES, that is something very very important in our life.Then it talks about that this very important things metined before are the steping stones to genius. I think that that means that before being someone who knows a lot on that, you ARE and WOULD be having some difficulties and mistakes and then when all of this finishes you will get to be a genius, and thats why I think your personal comment was so importnat as a kind of introduction for the quotaiton. We have been through our very funny(now that we are bigger)fights, the funny situations and more we passed at kindergarden and lots of other things we will never forget, our teacher and friends. Then we grew up and went on to 1st grade, were we learnt how to count up to 100 and more, where we had knew friensds, and our unforgetable teacher wich were there to help us when we had any problem. An the years passed and while this time was going on, we sometimes made knew friends,got more responsabilities, have more and more teacher, and our very loved friends, with wich most of us were since 1st grade, those are friends wich will probabley will never forget. But still years passed and then we got to 5th year were we were very happy to be nearly the most big children at school, but we saw how the 6th grade(at those times)always took advantage of us and never wanted to be good with us(some of them but for just a little time)Then we finally got to 6th grade, the year we were all willing to get to, were we had (up to now)lots of fun togetehr, we got the lockers wich only 6th grade has, we learnt lots of new things and have a teacher for each subject, wich we only got for this year up to know. But althugh we had changed of building and of friends when we started primary, if would not be the same because we can´t have the facility we had when we were in 1st grade, we will always have fun together at breake, but in class we spent most of htetime, and we will have new friends wich will last till the end of secondary school, next year it will be a year wich we will have to suffer different events annd the consequences of averything we do or what we will do, because we will have to face, once again, getting to know new people, I know that we know the people form Punta Chica because of gym, but it would not be the same, and that is what we will be going through next year, we will have more friends, but at the same time we will be having new subjects, new teacher, we will have a different building, we will be the smaller kids in the building, but I´m sure we will have lots of fun gettin g to know other people and at the same time getting with the other friends we had at Kinder8not in my case)the ones we had at Primary School and the ones we will have at Secondary School. It will be a specific year were we will be havings lots of changes because of the location and the friends that we will do, we are going to have lots of mistakes at new subjects and all of the other tings mentioned before, but we will have our friends of Kindergarden, Primery and Secondary, to help us get rid of the rocks that are in our path, we will only get there because of the help our teaacher and old and new friends upport us...
MISS ALE I LOVED THE QUOTATION!!!!!
I WISH I HAVE A FUN AND ENJOYABLE TIME WITH ALL MY FRIENDS THROGH OUT MY LAST MONTHS AT PRIMARY SCHOOL!!!!!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!
BYE BYE
SEE YOU SOON...

Hello Miss Ale
I know I all ready writed but I would like to expand my idea. The stepping stones mean that porfaps you up to now you have some problems in our studies but giving an effort and practicing whatis difficult for you. You can get beter and beter in that and get to be one of the bestest person that is good in that. It is a very deap quotation that takes you to thinking what you can do in this two months that we are missing to finish priamary. It also mins that you don´t have two avandon what you think is difficult or you are not geting full marks you only have to put a littel more time and effort to it that the rest of the things you are duing. If it somthing is difficult you dón´t have to give up as the poem we learned in 3rd: Tria Tria again if the first time you don´t succied tria tria agian....... I t mite be difficult be we have the noleg and the skills we only have to uce them properly because nothing is inposible. I loved the post it leves you thinking. You can be dealing with bad notes but you can also be dealing with good marks in thoose cases you can ceep on and do beter or keep on the same it is our effort and your time what can make it change but we have to vear in mind that many teachers studied to see what we are learning is for our nolige. It is very comen to make mastakes they can be big or small but they will all ways be a mastake to reflect on. We can be good at same things and bad for others but in any thing there will be more and more to learn on it orf corect on it. This year is to goe back and use our skills of all owr life.
This year at school many things changed. But the good thing is that we had friends to help use go on and do what we fave to we also have lots of teachers that help us out to make our mestacs nolige for the nacst time. It also means that no mater what you are good at now things can change and be the oposit or the same. You don´t have to let your minds think that subject will alwsbe difficult in the uture it may change mabe because you learned of our erors. In the rode of our lifes we may all have bumps but with a lot of efort, responsability, noleng, skills and learning of our erors we may complite our task.

Miss Ale,
I think the post means that we should always be try our best. Also that we don´t have to worry is we make a mistake because mistakes help us to learn better and to understand owr errors, because nobody is perfect and everyday we make mistakes a little or big mistake every day and that help us be a better person in every aspect of our life. Thats why they are the stepping stones ! They are like rocks in your path to victory and you just have to passs them and show you can achieve all the goals that you have always wanted to achieve, school gives you that enjoyable oportunity because teachers are alays there helping you when you have any problem in a subject or in a work. I think that is what I like most of all of the teachers, that dosen´t motter how inteligent the quesitong it they always have an answer to the problem. Thank you for all thsi year and for all primary, althoght I haven´t been here. It is great to be back at school and this 2 months we should be very concentrated and very cheerful because as you said today to 6c actitude is the most important thing. I im very prepared for this 2 months that would be very difficould althogu it is very short. I am very anxious for secondary, I wish already to be there, it would be very interesting an we will learned a lot of new things.
IM VERY ANXIOUS TO GO TO MAR DEL PLATA WITH CHOIR ! It would be very fun ! Its like 3 more days of vacations only that having fun with your friends.
Thank you for the post it is very apealing and very touching.

See you,

Hello Ale I think that it is that you learn from your errors and if you make a great effort on something, you will always be close to achieve it or even do it. To achieve your goals.

Miss Ale:
I think that this two months are going to be difficult but I think that we have to study many times and revise alot of things. But I also think that this little part that is missing us to pass to SECONDARY is going to be very funny. I hope because even if we didn't start google docs but we are going to start tomorrow is going to be fun and ecsiting. Thank you for choosin girls in one group!! Ale these months I choose that I am going to put attitude and alot of effort!! I think that this quote is very important When we do a little effort is not complete and it is not goood but when we do alot of effort many times and all the time it is complete and good!! From the mistakes you leran much more than just asking questions and I also think that When you put effort to something and you learn from your goals you go learning hoew to be a hero!! This is very important to choose your correct way in your life!!!

It is a very true and good quatation. I think it is similar to to We learn from our mistakes. I think that means thatwhe we try and we fail we are experienced for future oportuinities. This to months we are missing are going to be tough and important for us (Because we are going to finish primary), but we are going to do fine, I hope so. And I wish we all pas the final marks and that we all get to 7th grade. This months are going to be incredible because there the final months, though I cant believe it. I wish i can enjoy this months with my friends and I hope we ALL enjoy this final months.

I think this means that when we work very tough and effort we allways achieve very gppd results. We must allways have faith and never give up. Life is sorrounded with traps but we have to try to skip them and although we may fail we have to keep on trying until we succes. IN LIFE THERE ARE MANY CHANCES TO KEEP ON WOALKING THROUGHOUT ITS WONDERFULL JOURNEY.

Hello Miss Ale:
I think that this sentence means that the errors we make now in school in home or in a friend house or in just a games when they happen again when we grow up we will be prepared an we wont make an error but sometimes we make a lot of errors until we can do what we want to do with out making any errors. That it is why a lot of people say when they or someone make an error:"de los errores se aprenden" (sory Mis Ale that I said it spanish but I don not know how to say it english) but if you know the write answer for something do the write thing, but its better to do the write thing. If you do it but you know that it wont happen again to you. BYE seeyou tomorrow

Hello Miss Ale
These two months will be the hardest months for us because we will have a lot of test and presentations. We have to make are greatest effort to pass 6th grade becuase next year we will be in the other building. I think that we will study very hard to pass and do the best we can. I think that the quotation means that if you really study you will become really inteligent. I came with all my energy to pass 6th grade and go on to middle school. I really have faith in me and in everybody and i believe that everybody is going to pass. Now we are the biggest of primary, and from the biggest of primary we will be the smallest again. It will be a really nice experience because we will get to share more classes with the kids of Punta Chica. We will all make other friends and we will get to know new people. I am really nervous to be so close in to being in middle school. I think that tteachers will be much more strict with us. We will have a lot of new teachers. We will be with the big ones know. Im happy and nervous of passing on to middle school. Im nervous because i will have new teachers, new friends, different classes and we will share things with the biggest kids in school. I am happy because we are now much bigger, we are passing to the other building and i will be in 7th grade. Im going to really miss primary school. I really have good memorys of the building that i am know. I am never going to forget my teachers and this building that is where i did most of my primary years.

I loved the quotation!!!

IHOPE YOU PUT MORE QUOTATIONS LIKE THIS ONE!!!!
SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!

Miss Ale, I think it means that in this two months left we have to pay more attention and don't get distracted so much or all those things. I also think that we should learn from our errors so then we will try to have it next time right.
Well See You,

It has been a long time since you do not post a quote. I think that the quote means that if we constantly do some effort we will have mistakes to pass the subjects at school are the steeping stones to pass to 7th with honors so we can go to Mascardi! So know in all the subjects we are going to have a lot of test so we need to see our mistakes from all the year and see what we did wrong and correct it so we do not do that same mistake again to we can pass all the subjects and then go to 7th.
See you on Monday!

Hi there!
I think that Elbert Hubbard has the exact words that are needed. What he says is very true, we need a lot of effort to reach genius, or in our case to pass on to seventh. If we don´t put effort we are not going to reach anything. Maybe you are the most inteligent person on earth but you are not going to achieve your goals without effort. You need CONSTANT effort, because if you only put effort sometimes and very little it won´t work. You will do better than doing nothing, but it would be even better to have CONSTANT EFFORT. Now let´s talk about FREQUENT MISTAKES. Frequent mistakes are the best way to learn. They can teach us a lot of new stuff or things we just didn´t understand at the begining. We always learn with our mistakes and I really like to understand what I did wrong and then know how to do it for next time. Sometimes people just don´t look what they did wrong in their mistakes and so they keep on doing the same mistakes and if someone doesn´t tell them what they are doing wrong it will be difficult for them to know how to change them. It not only happens when we are learning in class, but also as persons we learn about our mistakes. Talking about seventh year I am really excited to cross the bridge and go to the other building, but I´m also leaving the primary, my school for so much time. It makes me happy and at the same time a little bit sad to go to middle school. I know the subjects will be more difficult but if we stay in sixth we will always learn the same and it would be boring because we wouldn´t have knew stuff to learn. I will miss a lot primary!!! The teachers, the classes and the building. I spend so much time in the school that it is as if it was my second home. Well I hope we can enjoy this last two months and get the better of it. I´m looking forward for the trip to mascardi. We will have a lot of fun!!! I like the idea that we are going to be mixed with other classes when we pass to seventh, because we will know many more people. Although we actually know each other we will learn much more about them. On the other hand I´m also going to miss my classmates altough I will still be with some in the class and I will see the others in the breaks. I have shared a great part of my life with them. I think this is the largest comment I ever posted.
See you,

I think this quotation is very true!
It is saying that to reach high notes or a goal in your life or simply something you have to look for it and do an effort. But in this case it means that we have very little time left thuis year, with all the teachers, with you class mates and with primary, so you have to do the last effort of the year to reach your goals as succesfully as possible!
I think this is what it means
