Hawaii 5-0

-
Hawaii 5-0, is one of my favorite shows. I like the characters Steve, Kono, and Dan-O. The show takes place in Hawaii. It is a beautiful place. There are rainforests, volcanoes, and beaches. The water is crystal clear. 
The show is a crime show. It is about a team, known as the "5-0 Task Force." This task force takes cases involving specialized crimes for Hawaii. The force works very closely with the police forces, but it is a bit more militarized. They have access to more extreme and advanced technology, weapons, and authorities. 
Dan-O and Steve are best friends on the show. They started as just partners, then the others joined. They are very funny together. Currently in the show, they are building their restaurant. Since Dan-O is an Italian from New Jersey, he wanted to bring his family recipes to Hawaii. Thus, they are building an Italian Restaurant. What is ironic about this is that the restaurant is in China Town. 
The show is filled with comedy, action, and drama. I have been watching it for about 7 years now. I am going to be very sad when it comes to an end. In case you want to watch, it is on Friday nights, at 9 o'clock, on CBS.

    Nice review of one of my favorite shows! I just haven't been that happy since Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park left. The show isn't the same without them.

    I like that you reviewed a show that you enjoy. Our students love to learn about us outside of the classroom. I like that you focused on the use of commas. This concept can be challenging, even for our L1 English speakers.

My Best Experiences

I haven't really had just one, single, best experience of my life so far. I can narrow it down to one time in my life where I had the best experience. That was when I went on a service trip to Costa Rica my junior year of high school. Now, I also consider passing my edTPA this past May, to be one of my best experiences too. What is ironic  about passing the edTPA is, that leading up to that moment, I had one of the worst experiences of my life. Furthermore, both of these best experiences, did indeed include some of the worst experiences I have endured . Despite these experiences having some trailing moments, in the end, I wouldn't change anything. The service trip to Costa Rica was very fulfilling . My classmates and I traveled to three different parts of Costa Rica. At the time, my Spanish was much better than it is now, so we got to talk to the locals, the local children, and our tour guide in both Spanish and English. We planted trees, we built a school and fixed a playgr

Being Overwhelmed

Being overwhelmed is not the greatest feeling. This year is my first year teaching. I would not change it for the world, but it can be very stressful, especially lately. I feel as if I wind up doing way more than I can handle. This semester is my first semester of graduate school. In all honesty, the combination of the two- first year teaching and first semester of grad school, have been pretty overwhelming for me.  I have three sections of Social Studies to teach. I teach ELLs , 9th grade General, and 9th grade Honors . At one point, I had 45 students in one class- some of them were sitting on the floor! That issue has now been resolved , thankfully.  I often have trouble deciding how many assessments , and what kind of assessments, to give my students. Sometimes I wonder, should I give them two quizzes? Should I give them a project and a test? Is this assessment differentiated enough? Has it been modified properly ? Are my activities engaging enough? I feel I am constantly seco
