Working toward our future

I want to send out shines to Jazmine and Phantasia for taking time out of their Christmas break to attend the College Prep Day on Thursday, December 27. I am very proud of them for starting to prepare for college now, while still in middle school.

They did things like prepare a resume and learn what they need to start doing now to add to their resume. They worked on the computers to type up their resume. They practiced writing scholarship essays and learned how to mind map in order to make it easier. They really did a great job!

I would like to start doing a college prep day once a month on Saturdays. Who would be interested? If you are interested or you have a child that is interested, please comment here or call or talk to me when you see me.

Here are some pictures from the College Prep Day:

Jazmine compiling her resume:
Doesn't Phantasia look so pretty in this picture?

Practice what you preach!

Michael brought a new volunteer to the ASA today...and I didn't bother to greet him!!

Michael noticed I didn't greet him and helped me remember. I didn't set a very good example. I'm glad so many of you do such a great job at your greetings...and I really appreciating you reminding me to do the same!

Thanks, Michael!

Future Dancers!!

This past Friday my daughter Phantasia performed at the South Dallas Cultural Center. It is a beautiful site. Ms. Vikki is a great person, I love her spirit. She opened her doors to the children here at the After School Academy. Phantasia volunteers when she can at the After School Academy, this is her second year volunteering, she is now a 7th grader and I am very proud of her. She has grown so much over the summer. I will continue to support her in her endevor to be a dancer. I talked with Ms. Vikki about her and Jazmine taking dancing lesson at the South Dallas Culture Center and I am hoping that they will take the classes so they can become professionals one day. Keep up the good work Phantasia, I love you!!! You did a excellent job. This is her dance team, they are all students at Pearl C. Anderson.

Ms. Thompson

Why is the store called Big Daddy's? And why did you name the school after you? And did you live in a house or a apartment? And why was the store called Thompson's?

I asking these questions because I want to know about Ms. Thompson's life. In two weeks we are going to ask Ms. Thompson these questions in an interview.

Mr. Thompson

Mr. Thompson had a store cross of H.S. Thompson. And he had a grand daughter that lived the other side across of H.S. Thompson. And H.S. Thompson is my school. Zedric Colquitt. And I like the school. And we going to talk to Mr. Thompson's grand daughter and she gonna tell us a few informations about Turner Court at the ASA Academy.

The stores around our community

when did they build the frunt park when did they build big daddy,s when did they build my house.

About Mr. Bill

I learned about asking questions and I got it from Mr. Bill.

I learned how to ask questions. "Why did Bubba's call Snappy's?" Why I'm asking this question because I need to know. Mr. Bill told us when the store was called snappies.

WHAT I KNOW

I know that Bubbles used to be called and when Mr.Bill was going to school he had to walk on a mudding and at H.S.Thompson the grades was only 1st~8th gradeand he went staight to high school.

Mr. Bill

Today I lernd about how you had to walk on mud or dirt roads to school and Mr. Bill told us that they had to walk on top of the train track and sometimes the train would stop and people would be late for their job. The police station was here since 1960.

we ask questions

This was before Big daddy was build.

Before JBC was build it was called Snappy's.

Before Rocher sheter park. When Mr. Bill was my age and was just dirt roads.


WHAT I LEANED TO DAY THAT THER WERE PLACEC HERE BEFOR OTHER PLACEC HE SAD THER WAS A STORE CALLED SNAPPY IT WAS A BEER STORE AND THER

Mr. Bill Rhodes

Mr. Bill Rhodes told us something about Turner Courts, and the school H.S. Thompson. He said he had to walk on the gravel to get to school. Mr. Thompson had a store across H.S. Thompson. His granddaughter lives across the other side of H.S. Thompson, Mr. Thompson gave the kids pork rines. When he was in the 8th grade he had to walk all the way to Hastings to catch the bus.

His family moved here in 1948.

Mr. Bill was living here since 1948. And when he was going to school the road was gravel. Across hatcher the white people live. Button (Bon Ton) was a cafe and were they have parties.
(Mr. Bill told us about the prices at the movie theater on Bexar and 175)
The people dug under the tracks so the cars could go under and the train could still drive on the tracks.
This school was grades was 1st-8th grade.

Today me and Traenieshia about Mr.Bill was living here since 1948.And when he was goning to school the roads was just dirt.Aross hatcher was were the white people live and the black. And buttun was cafe .

Mr. Bill Rhodes

I learned how to ask people questions. I raised my hand and Mr. Bill Rhodes answered me.

I know what happened about the store. It was called Snappy's. The ground was like dirt and it was rocks. He was walking on the hard ground to school.

And I greeted Mr. Bill Rhodes. And I recorded Mr. Bill Rhodes.

What I learned at school today.

Today at school I learned that one is a odd number, and two is a even number. I learned about thanksgiving and what we are going to eat at thanksgiving. I read "I see" in science class and it was about a lady who watches and says hello to animals.

What we have learned in the technology class

The internet went down before the kids could post. Here are their responses to what they have learned in their technology class:

Zedric (8 yrs):
When the future come, other people can learn about the ASA. They can learn the rules about it and what happened to the future when I was making this blog right now for the people to learn about the ASA Academy and me. This is in response to our conversation about learning about our history and writing about it because of our finding that there is such little information available on Rochester Park.

Jordan (11 yrs):
We are planning to put something on the map to tell people that we are still living cause if we didn’t have anything on the map, people would think we were extinct like dinosaurs.

Zedric:
And to make people go on the map and find Turner Courts and they will find ASA Academy and they will see all people and they will see Zedric and much more people at the After-School Academy.

Zedric:
I learned that other people go on the internet and do some research on us and learn a lot about us. And my favorite thing is that people can learn about us from the past to the future.

Daedrin (8 yrs): What we learned about is respect. And we learned how to do stuff on the computer.

Traeniesha: I learned about Turner Courts because I live and I go to places in Turner Courts.

Amyah (6 yrs): I heard a lady talking and asking the man questions in kind of a talk. This, in response to the interview that was played to help give the class an idea of how to conduct an interview.

Questions we want to know about Turner Courts

Jordan’s plan to start the interview:
Hi, I’m Jordan. I’m just wondering if I could ask some questions. I’m doing this for the ASA program because we was learning about our map (wikimapia) and we saw that on the map there was nothing about Turner Courts. So, do you mind?

What was here at/before the After-School program?

When did they build JBC?

What was here before Bubba’s?

When did they build the red park in Turner Courts?

When did they build Turner Courts?

When did they build Rochester Park?

What was here before Turner Courts?

Where did you go to elementary, junior high, and high school?

When did they hire people for JBC? (When did they start working in the store?)

Why did they build Turner Courts?

Where did you go to buy groceries?

Why is this called Bon Ton?

When did they plant trees?

Why did they build a church and nobody is at it?

When did people come?

When companies or businesses were here when you weren’t born?

When did they break the swings at the back park?

Why did they build the gym?

Why do people have guns over here?

When did the dogs start coming here?

Why do the people hang out on the corner?

Where did people hang out when you were growing up?

Why is the projects called Turner Courts?

Not Fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today I was sent home because I supposedly didn't have the right uniform on.My uniform was correct. That's not fair!!!!!!!! DISD schools don't care if you learn, they worry about how you look. One of my teachers told I look like I'm going to the club. I had on a pair of shoes that were plaid, and some brown socks.

Central Market

We tasted some new fruits. Ms. Lily gave us a cupcake and I had chocolate. And we tasted some bubble gum ice cream. And Ms. Janet should have came to get some bubble gum ice cream.

You know that watermelon? Oooh, that watermelon was good! And they had some good music. I was holding that watermelon and dancing with the music.

The ugly harlem...I forgot that...It was kinda good. The first side was nasty then the other side it was good.

"Our Future"

Why are there so many overweight children? I can think of a lot of reasons why, but which is correct. My personal opinion is that it start at home. When we first discovered that we were going to be a parent, we should start by eating healthy. I know for a fact that while you are carrying the child they are fed through you, so we should practice eating healthy while thay are still in the womb. Easy as this may sound, it is not!!! but It is not too late. As you can see we have already got started and now are finished. We are now at the end of our summer camp, today is the last day Boo Hoo!!! but we are going to use this program in the fall. It has been a journey but a good one. The kids have learned alot about eating and staying healthy. They have done a wonderfull job!! Congratulations!!!

Today we had a lot of fun we played.

Ms. Sylvia and C.J.'s conversation at home (Gabcast! ASA Summer Nutrition Program #20)

muscles

What we did today is exercise and exercise on the ball.
We had exercise on weights. We had chicken wings, popcorn, and some potato chips.

CJ had a question. It was... How do weights make your muscles get big?
The answer is when you use weights, stress comes into your muscles. Stress is telling your body to make more muscles.

I am now the expert on weights and nutrition.

why do we sweat?

The process of sweating is due to the small struture in our skin.

The sweat evaporates into our skin to cool us down.

I learned this by looking up the question.

I like to exercise.

The question that Miss Wyshina and I had to answer was....Why do we exercise every day? We looked it up on the internet and it said that it helps us look better and feel better.


We exercised today and and played the Blast Off Game. Miss Jasmine taught us a new muscle to workout, the tricep.


Miss Janet taught us how to upload the pictures from the camera.

The Healthy Program

As you can see, I am in a very good camp. I love it. It is the best camp I ever been to. I love everyone in this camp. It is fun at this camp. It's beautiful. I have been here for 5 years, if I'm not mistaken. All my life I loved this program. It's the best.

I researched that fruit makes your muscles bigger when you eat it when you first wake up and 30-60 minutes before you work out.

Today I learned how...I'm learning how to do new exercises and I'm learning new information about eating more fruits and vegetables and don't be hanging around the wrong people because it's wrong. They're going to end up in jail and you're going to go with them and you go somewhere safe at night. They are a lot of people that be outside when curfew has passed. Security be searching. Those who don't think that they can't go to prison, they are wrong.

Today my favorite thing was to do new exercises and log on to search for stuff and I had fun today.

The Blast Off Game

I love the Blast Off game. It is fun, in the game you have to make the rocket blast off by picking right foods to eat.

Apples

I like apples because they make you healthy and they help your muscles grow.

Miss Rachel, I miss you

Miss Rachel,
I love you and I miss you. Please come back. You have did a lot for us. Oh ya, you are in the two bite club.

Field trip at UT Arlington

Today, I read the ASA blog, and I was amazed at how each child response to the field trip was different. What I noticed during the tour was how attentive Jordan Warren was the entire tour. He always full of surprises. He journeled, asked questions and even took some great shots, so did Ms. Keilani.
I really enjoyed the trip, I had never been to their campus so it was an adventure for me. I too learned how the different exercise machines work and what parts they help you work on. I especially liked the treadmills that they have and the walking loop. I am not too fond of weights. What made the tour go well was the fact that we had an excellent tour guide by the name of Mr.Darrell, he was very informative. I feel that this program is going to very beneficial in the long run, which is the goal that we set out to achieve.

Another budding photographer!

I really enjoyed watching Ladarrius be the photographer today. He seemed to really take his role to heart. I watched him crawl under the table and lay down on the floor to get an interesting angle on a photo. Then I watched him get up, walk across the room, and climb over a chair in order to get closer to the subject.

I hope you enjoyed your job, Ladarrius. You did a really good job!

The field trip was fun

The field trip was fun. It was fun when we were walking around looking at the new exercising that we didn't know about.
