Whatever It Takes is a movie about a school in the bronx called The Bronx Center for Science and Mathematics. Edward Tom was the principal of the school and it was his first year as a principal.

She was chosen to apply for the Dartmouth College Summer Program, she was interviewed by a represantor of the college to see if she qualified. Later on Sharifea recieved news that she was accepted. Sharifea was starting to fail her classes and that was a big deal. If sharifeakept doing that Edward Tom was not sure if she could still go to Dartmouth. Sharifea did not qualify to take the Regents Assesment and she needed this in order to graduate high school. In the end Sharifea completed her 1st year in Dartmouth and was eligible to take her Regents Test in order to get her diploma. Edward Tom later hoped to open up 3 small school in the bronx.

B-Cubed....!!!!

B-Cubed is a game about skill and strategy. What you have to do is that you have a maze of squares that you need to complete to get to the red square. The problem is that when you move the previous square that you were in falls down and you have to keep going. If you mess up you have to start all over. It's a really tough game it gets harder as the levels go higher. If you think that you can beat it then go ahead and try it. Trust me it's hard but you'll get through it.

The Wizard.......☺☺!!!!

The Wizard was about a young boy named Jimmy who never talked or smiled. He always ran away from home and people tought he was crazy. At the begginning of the story Jimmy needed to be in a home where he could have comfort in. Jimmy's stepbrother (Cory) admired Jimmy and had a lot of love for him. When cory found out that jimmy needed to be in a home he was really dissapointed. Cory decided to escape with Jimmy and go to California where Jimmy always wanted to go. Along their trip they met this girl called Hailey, since they needed money Cory bet Hailey that if Jimmy could beat her in the arcade game she owed him money. Jimmy won, but there was something else that was noticed Jimmmy was a wizard at the arcade game. Hailey decided to come along with Jimmy and Cory to compete in the Los Angeles video game so Jimmy could feel proud of himself. As they continued their trip the detective that was hired to look for Jimmy was close to capturing him. Throughout the trip they gambled many people to beating them in the arcade game. The detective captured Jimmy once but he escaped. They finally got to the Video Arcade challenge and Jimmy was ready to play. Jimmy started his game and was on board to win. He entered the finals and was close to winning. At the end the detective cam to the challenge and was chasing Jimmy all around the place. Finally Jimmy made it back to the building where the games were at and was ready to win. Jimmy won and was very proud of himself. His family came and supported him. At the end when Jimmy went home he passed this building shaped like a dinosaur and kept repeating ''California". That's when it all came together Jimmy always repeated california because that's where his family went when they were still a happy family. He showed the picture to cory and his whole family was on it including his little twin sister who passed away. At the end Jimmy went home with a happy feeling.

Bridge to Therabithia......!!!

The book I read was called Bridge to Therabithia by Katherine Paterson. This book was about a young boy named Jesse Aarons who always dreamed of being the fastest runner in his school. When Jesse was about to start the race, out of nowhere a girl comes and decides to compete in the race. Unfortunely Jesse lost and was really upset. Later on Jesse finds out that the girl that beat him is in his class and her name is Leslie Burke. Leslie introduces herself to Jesse but he ignores her. Jesse decides to give Leslie a chance and become friends. When Jesse came home he saw that Leslie also got off at his bus stop and realizes that she lives next to him. They both decide to run as far as they can and see where they go. To their surprise they end up in this creek with a rope between it. Both climbed the rope and swung on to the other side. In that other side they find this forest where they decide to call it Therabithia and be rulers of it. Throughout the story they have many adventures and finally get to be themselves and have fun. One rainy day Jesse decides to go to this museum with his teacher. Jesse had so much fun at the museum but when he gets back home he realizes something is not okay. He comes home and sees their family is depressed over something. His mom tells him "Leslie's death". Jesse couldn't believe that she was gone. He found out that Leslie had died because she slipped off the       rope. Jesse realizes that Leslie was an awesome friend that he had, she had given him courage to do what hwe wanted to do. Later on Jesse continues to rule his and leslie's kingdom with his little sister Maybelle in honor of Leslie. Even tough she was gone Jesse still felt her prescence. I think that this was a really inspiring book to do whatever you want to do and have the courage to do it. You can find this book at Ms.Estrada's library. Here's a short clip of the movie.

I imagine my future going away to college and pursuing my dreams. What I would like to become is a proffesional Pastry Chef. I really would like to take an opportunity at this because I think that it is an awesome career and I will get to do what I love wich is baking. Another reason that I would want to do this is because my family has originated this love for baking. My mom and my grandma had been baking cakes since they were little and they gave me the inspiration to do it. I really hope to accomplish this dream and have an amazing life.

Paper Prototype Reflection...!

I think that the paper protype helped us plan our game by all of us coming up with great ideas and putting them together. While we were doing the paper prototype we sort of got the idea of what was it going to be like and how. It really helps us to get the hang of how was it going to turn out and what we needed help on. It also helped us by already coming up with the designs and techniques that we needed to do, instead of thinking about what we were going to do at the time we were starting the game. Paper prototyping is one of the many great ideas we can try to plan our game, it was also really helpful and i enjoyed doing it with my team.

My Paper Prototype!

The name of our Game is called Eat Turtle Eat!. What our game is trying to teach people is to stop water pollution and help out. In this game the player will be a turtle trying to consume food. Since water pollution causes a lot of trash in the ocean, wich includes paper,plastic, and cans. The plstic bags cause the turtle to think that it is their normally food(Jellyfish) and that affects the turtle. In the game the turtle will try to catch all the jellyfish in time without getting hit by the plastic bags. I think that this game really shows adults and kids how we can all make a difference by changing our habits of pollution and start helping out. I hope you enjoyed watching our preview game, although it's not going to look like this it's going to be the best game you''ll ever see.
