ReasoningSisters & Brothers

Suppose I have two siblings, and at least one of them is a girl. What are the odds that I have two sisters? Supposing I have two siblings, and the older one is a boy. What are the odds that I have two brothers?

The probability that both are girls is 1/3. (The odds that both are girls is 1 to 2- one way it can be true against two ways it can not.) There are four possibilities when considering the gender of two siblings: girl-girl, girl-boy, boy-girl, and boy-boy. Given that I have one sister, the boy-boy combination is impossible. So in this case, there are three possible combinations, and only one with both girls.
In the second case, the probability of having two brothers is 1/2. (The odds are "even" - 1 to 1.) The same four possibilities for gender must be considered. Girl- girl is not possible from the given information. The statement "the older one is a boy" also eliminates the girl-boy option. This leaves only two choices.
STRATEGY: Draw a picture or diagram.

..Bucket List!!..

Hello emeetings!! I'm so happy to start with this blog again.i really missed it!..

..As you had red, some weeks ago we had a really special journey.
Everithing started when miss Alina brought to the calss the song "Anything but ordinary" by Avril Lavigne. And we all reallized that all of us wanted to be like that...or we should, 'cause that's what will always make us be different in life,special and original...We had to reallized what was wrong in us and take that out.Take out those attitudes that won't make us better persons and try to include new goals...
One day miss Alina told us to writ a Bucket List. It is a list where we write 10 resolutions for this year.
So to be original an do something new at school, she gave the idea to plant a tree, and in the same tree's hole put owr lists, and at the end of the year take out again the papers and see if we could achieved all owr aims.
The day we have done taht, we had invited to the level's B studients to do the same as us.The invitation also had the propousse to share them that they can go foward with their english..










It's a really unforgotable day!!

Than you miss Alina! ...We're miss Alina flollowers...

TO THINK

You only have one tap and 2 buckets, a 3 litres bucket and a 5 litres bucket. Nothing more than these three things.. How can you put 4 liters exactly of water into the 5 liters bucket using only the 3 liters bucket ?..think....

Holly blog

When I start feeling down,
I turn on my pc, and start writting
things like this
ohh Holly blog.
-----
emeetings is a blog
where I express my feelings,
I wanna write
It makes me feel
so high
-----
Is it enough to write
Is it enough to feel
Blog, holly blog,
my best friend .
Please stay here with me.
Is it enough to try
Somebody give me a hand
to finish all this stuff and go out
to have fun.
---------
To make this as one mark
would make me feel so empty
so make it as a chance
to get more knowledge (knowledge...)
----------
So never give it up
It is gap to fullfill
anything to improve
myself for life.
--------
Use all of your
feelings,
don't hold
them all back
If you look you will see
that this
chance is a beautiful,
greatfully, fullfeeling,

I wanna make it
Don't wanna waste it away...
I turn on my pc, and

let`s set off on a new extraordinary journey!

I challenge you all to start a new adventure:
"Limits merely mark the point beyond which we have not yet gone."
It is not compulsory that we go beyond where we have been before. Neither should we assume that we can`t. The question should never be how far, how high, how fast, how much... but simply HOW?

Reasoning: Catchy Code

The message below is written in code. Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a sign and a number. The words are separated by lines like this: ___. See if you can break the code and read the message.
This is a catchy one, so here are two hints:
Hint 1: Do the signs look familiar? Think about where you’ve seen them. That’s the key. Hint 2: Notice that the only numbers that appear in the code are 1, 2, and 3. They stand for rows—row 1, row 2, and row 3. (To get you started, ^1 stands for Y, ^2 stands for H, and ^3 stands for N.)
(2 (1 (1 *2 ___ $2 (1 $1 ___ %1 ^2 #1 @2 #1 ___@2 *1 %2 ^3 @2 ___(1 ^3 ___ ^1 (1 &1 $1 ___ #3 (1 &3 )1 &1 %1 #1 $1 ___ *2 #1 ^1 %3 (1 !2 $1 #2.

EnGLiSH ProJeCT!!





Hello e-meetings! I am here writing because I'm going to tell you a little about our English project, that was really funny and with a good purpose!One day our class, and also our classmates of level A had to write personally on a piece of paper a Bucket List. This was a list of 10 things that we wanted to do during this year. We wrote the list, and then we put it in a plastic bag, and then we made a hole in the ground and we put the bag in there and thennext to it we planted a tree . We planted this tree because we wanted to give something special to our school, and also because we wanted to put there our wishes, aims, and objectives and at the end of the year, we are going to take our bucket list out, and we are going to read them and see if we colud achieve our purposes.
This was miss Alina's idea, and I really think that it was fantastic. This are some ideas that we never did before, and it`s really interesting . It is important because this is our last year at school and we all want to leave something special for it, and a tree is a beautiful gift. I like this tree because It represent life, now it`s a small one, like us... We all are between 16 and 18 years old but we are still young, we are teenagers and we have a lot of time left to grow up, to mature, to learn, to have fun. Like with this tree, in days, months and years this tree is going to grow up, to be bigger and bigger, to change his colour, to lose his leaves and then to have it again.. A whole life is waiting for this tree.. just like us. In this morning we also did other activities that were very funny! We separated the two classes in four groups and we played differents games, like Say it with sign language, pictionary, Taboo, and one that we had to say words about some topics with special letters. After these games, we had a special reunion where we ate, but before doing this we had a toast were some classmates said some words about our last year at school, our morning, friendship, teachers... it was very nice.To finish our activities we had a very funny karaoke party! we all sang songs in English.. but i have to admit that it was a disaster! We werent professional singers.. but it was the funiest activity!
Miss Alina, I hope we repeat these activities...!!! We really had a great time, Thank You! like always!!Martu =)

a special morning





last week we had a special moring: we had breakfast and played games during the mornig and then we burried a bucket lists here I will post you a short video (because of the memory of miycel)and some pictures about it.



ps: we could only speak English (all the period)

bucket list`s day

last week we had a special day in our English class. We prepared breakfast, we played games and we burried our resolutions for the year next to a tree we planted, and we had such a wonderful day. Now I only have to have a child and to write a book to be complete in my life. I really enjoyed the day, singing karaoke and playing the taboo. I think we should have activities like this more frecuently. I think we can be a little more organized, but the idea and the effort is what matters. I also suggest doing only-english-speaking classes to learn to express more fluently. I wish we can soon have another day like that.
see you in class. bye

....From the beginning it was a different idea, its first aim was to make us think about our purposes for this year... it was a fantastic idea that will be concluded when we plant "OUR TREE"


The MEANING of the TREE....

This has to show us that as IT grows up we have to look after and feed it... We have to do the same thing with our projects and dreams for our life, and we have to enrich them! ... we never have to give up! ... by doing this we will certainly find happiness in our lives!!!
HeLLo! I'm so happy to start with the blog again! I want to keep showing you the things that with do in our English class, and the things that we have planned for this, our last year at high school.
Well, I have not much to say about the open day that we had had, because my partners had already told you it, detail by detail.

But what what I cannot let emphasize is that I felt very proud and happy because althoug we could learn and share with each other every thing in every minute, the day help us to join more us one class, what we were really needing.
Every day, I feel that I am more and more proud of my class and my teacher, and that I love you more and more.

I hope that you feel the same too! and that this beautiful day can be repeated! and that the resolutions that we have planned for this year, can all come true, of course!

A lot of kisses for you! see you tomorrow!


AVRIL LAVIGNE - ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY

Sometimes I get so weird

I even freak myself out

I laugh myself to sleep

It's my lullaby

Sometimes I drive so fast

Just to feel the danger

I wanna scream

It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?

Is it enough to breathe?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines

Would make my life so boring

I want to know that I Have been to the extreme

So knock me off my feet

Come on now give it to me

Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?Is it enough to breathe?...

Let down your defences

Use no common sense

If you look you will see that this world is a beautiful accident, turibulent, succulent opulent permanent, no way

I wanna taste it

Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird

I even freak myself outI laugh myself to sleep

It's my lullaby.

Our Bucket list, Our class Project

WELCOME TO emeetings, our class blog, join our thrill, you will get crazy about it!;)

I think that this was such a great start for such a special year, which i thruly believe is being great. Don't you think so? I absolutlty do and i dont want to lose even one minute of this year. So i think that to have an "special day" was a great idea. It was an opportunitie to share lots of fun and why not some food!! I believed that is up to us to make all this year a time of our life.

Sorry, i dont have any pictures of that day

Open Air Class -"Our Bucket List"


Everything started such as a simple idea after Miss Alina had watched a film...And she thought about us and as she said, she wanted us to be special and make difference in the school.

The first day at school we listen to Avril Laving's song "Everything but Ordinary" and we all reallized that all of us wanted to be like that...or we should, 'cause that's what will always make us be different in life,special and original...We had to reallized what was wrong in us and take that out.Take out those attitudes that won't make us better persons and try to include new goals...That was Miss Alina's aim, and after she'd told me, also mine.

Then we thougt that it was also interesting to share this kind of activities with our classmates from the other level, as we're all from the 08' prom, and make that day different.
So,last thursday each one wrote in a paper 10 resolutions for this 2008(our last year at school), put all of them in a bucket and buried it with a beautiful tinny tree in the school playground...it was an emotional situation, we sang the school song and also another songs.

Then started the time for the games!We had been divided into four groups, each one had to pass from different challenges or games such as Tabou, Brain Booster or "Mercadito". Then we shared an informal banquet and toast and at the end we had karaoke time!!!

It was a wonderful day, i really enjoy it!I think that this kind of activities make us share more things as a group and encreases our friendship among each other.
Our intention is to dig up the bucket at the end of the year and find out if we could fulfil our resolutions...and if we couldn't keep on trying and never ever give up...

I hope to make my resolutions came true...and to share more moments like this one with my classmates and teacher 'cause this makes me feel not only happy but also proud and gay of having this friends and oportunities!!


Love you all!!
Let's enjoy our last yearrrr!!!!!!!







Open Class Feedback!













As you can see, these are two pictures that both were taken during our amazing English classes (all the credit belongs to Miss Alina). The one on top is from last year (the date in there is wrong :s) and the one bellow is the picture that perfectly describes our open class day! When we were suddenly 48 students joined in only ONE GROUP! I hope that we continue like that picture shows all the year long! I mean, we are all together in one photograph, now, can we all be together to rich our last year's school goals?? It's a great challenge, but it doesn't make it impossible, right? So let's give it a shot!

Something that it's not dificult to notice (at all) is the number of people between both! -Of course that in the first one, there are a lot of students missing, but not so many-. So, it can clearly represent the change that just a bit more than an hour could do! We were all together, playing and learning! The best combination ever, don't you think??

I felt like we were really "toasting for a change", that we were having a great time without taking notice of the obstacules that came across this year to get along well! Impressive that just some cakes and games can join us without any heartfeelings, huh? ;)

Anyway, I hope that we can do it again!! I really enjoyed it! So Miss Alina, thank you for let this class be "anything but ordinary"!! ;)

Then we go out and we start with the games.. My group has to play the TABOU against the group 4.. Fortunately we won for a great difference

English project


We made our own bucket lists ....

We thought about them very well... ( 10 resolutions for the whole year were written)

So..when we all finished the resolutions we thought about a project...

Our 10 resulutions (each per person) being burried with a tree in the backyard of our school...

During the year we should fight to make them to come true...

At the end of the year we unburry our bucket lists and see if we have avhieved the resolutions .. and if not, we keep on fighting to make them became real actions!

We are going to be able to see our tree grow as the year goes by...

We can say that it represents all of us as a person who did their best to learn about life ... while also learning english in class....

Feedback of the Open Class:

The day before we all were in agreement that the boys had to bring salty food or something to drink and the girls had to bring delicious pies or cakes .. or at least somenthing sweet they could buy at the drugstore..Finally the day came and we ( the organizers ) prepared a lot of games that became challenges for all of the groups..

Mocha said some words before we started playing:

" This project started as a task from our teacher but later it expanded its limits and reached all of the 3rd of polimodal.Our lives only make sense when we have goals to fight and live for. This is not enoug though, we need to help each other to achieve our goals.This open class was organized to learn from each other, to pass our knowledge to you, and of course yours to us.

Welcome! Have fun! Enjoy it!..WE ALL DESERVE A FRESH START!"

The games :

- Brain boosters...It was really very difficult .. only smart ones could figure out the answer!

- Say it with mimics: everyone got crazy to find out what they were saying! haha

- Karaoke: It was great! At last this game was not played by each group but we all sang different songs like "Anything but Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne, that was the main song of this project ( read the lyrics and find it out!) and also another one that we can't remember the name..While drinking and eating like pigs ( haha) we went out to burry our "big" tree!! It was a moment we'll not forget! We threw first all the bucket lists and then filled the hole ...After that, we suggested making a tost for all that the things we had shared that morning and for us to keep on learning while having fun!

Our conclusion of this day is that we all had fun! We did our best to talk in English all the time! and the best of all .. We made it as a Close group of friends, without differences or prejudice...

Miss Alina`s followers

Last Tuesday Miss Alina had the idea of organizing a recreative day with both English's levels in order to share one day all together speaking only english.


I think it was a really good idea to share one day together,playing english`s games that we had invent and later we share a breakfast alltogether.


Also we plant a tree in which we bury the achievements for this year.



The part that I like most was when we sing songs with the karaoke. it was really funny.


In conclusion it was a very nice day I hope that could be more mornings like that along the year.


we love miss Alina!!!! we are Miss Alina´s followers!!!


I will miss the English classes
