Communication Post

While filling in my log I realized that I use my phone a lot for texting.  Mainly I use my phone right when I wake up and normally before I go to bed.  I occasionally use my phone during the day or after school, but usually i don't have much time for that.

Scavenger Hunt Reflection

While completing the scavenger hunt I excelled at finding images.  I could improve on using other search engines and my knowledge about other websites.

2. I also enjoyed the research part of this project and trying to find the best option for my client.

Working with my partner has been a good experience. We communicate well and have shared most of the work evenly. Dividing up work at the beginning was more of a challenge because we didn't know each other.

All About Me: First Blog Post

My name is Kalli and I am a freshman at Reading Memorial High School.  Usually the first thing I tell people about myself is that I love to play sports.  This is suiting because my blog is all about working out and sports.  I play basketball, softball and soccer and I'm a part of two AAU sports teams.  I play AAU basketball for the Mass Rivals and AAU softball for the Batbusters.  Some of my other hobbies consist of taking pictures and spending time with my friends and family.  I have one brother named Demetre and my mom and dad, Barbara and David.  My favorite movie is definitely lone survivor and if you haven’t seen it I would recommend you go and watch it.  It’s very deep and based on a true story about navy seals.  These are just a few things about me and my interests.  I hope you enjoy my blog!
