This week, Michael got a 96% on an American Revolution exam due to a +5 bonus. On Thursday, when we were about to start the Social Studies Benchmark, I found out that I was one of the six people in total to finish and return the extra credit benchmark. On the special ed group, I was the only student to get the 5+ for the benchmark. I expect my score to be 86% to 92% on the benchmark. The bonus can become +9 or +10 by keywords and the Special Ed. R.A.P. which could become 95 to 102%. There is a 30% chance that I will get a 100% for the benchmark. I mite no longer be capable of getting a 100% or higher, but I am capable of getting great grades, especially the low to mid 90s. I finished the last 1 to 3 sentences of Document Based Question essay and a 14 question math test in a fast, but steady and stable speed of 25 to 30 minutes. I went on to do SS homeworks, #1, 2, 3, and the first 4 questions of Homework 4. I could be good on Social Studies HW until Wednesday. "Why do this if you are in special ed? Just get out of there.", says Michael Heeren. His mother, Christine Zichittella, who currently resides in a prison chamber for not gettiitizing along with another sibling since Jan 1st, failed Spanish and was not good at math. He would just criticize his mother because she never ran for the student government. He did run for the student government before.
Reminder, the great palace party is on January 13th at 5:00pm to 10:00pm at 311 Lake Pointe Drive, Middle Island, New York.

Starting the New Year
During the countdown of 2011 to 2012, Michael went on to video record my countdown by computer web-cam. During the last day of 2011 and first day of 2012, there was no reading and no work. Since yesterday, Michael has been studying for the benchmark. Today, his day at school was normal for the most part. He stayed after school for math club. On Wednesday, December 21, he missed yearbook club because he saw what he thought was a sub so he thought that he didn't have yearbook that day. The amount of his homework was normal like the other days.
I hope that you have a great year.

Read a story about Walter Mondale (1928 - ) and then answer the questions.
Walter Frederick “Fritz” Mondale (5 Jan 1928 - age 83) is an American Democratic Party Politician, who served as the 42nd Vice President of the United States (1977 - 1981), under President Jimmy Carter, and as a United States Senator for Minnesota (1964 - 1976). He was the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate in the United States presidential election of 1984.
Mondale was born in Ceylon, Minnesota and graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1951. He then served in the US Army in the Korean War before earning a law degree in 1956. He married Joan Mondale (nee Adams) in 1955. He and his wife have 3 children (2 surviving, 1 daughter deceased) Working as a lawyer in Minneapolis, Mondale was elected to the position of attorney general in 1960. He was appointed US senator in late 1964 as a member of the Democratic Party upon the resignation of Hubert Humphrey, and held that post until 1976. In the Senate, he supported open housing, tax reform, and the desegregation of schools. He opposed United States involvement in the Vietnam War.
In 1976, Carter, the Democratic presidential nominee, chose Mondale as his vice presidential running mate in the forthcoming election. The Carter/Mondale ticket defeated incumbent president Gerald Ford. Carter and Mondale’s time in office was marred by a worsening economy, and although both were re-nominated by the Democratic Party, they lost the 1980 election to Republican Ronald Reagan.
In 1984, Mondale won the Democratic presidential nomination and campaigned for a nuclear freeze, the Equal Rights Amendment and a reduction of US public debt. In the election, Mondale and his mate, Geraldine Ferraro, was defeated in a landslide by President Reagan, gaining electoral votes from only Minnesota and Washington DC.
After the election, Mondale joined the Minnesota-based law firm of Dorsey & Whitney and the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (1986 - 1993), and was credited with successes in Poland and Hungary. President Bill Clinton appointed Mondale United States Ambassador to Japan in 1993; he retired in 1996. Since then, Mondale has returned to working at Dorsey & Whitney and remains active in the Democratic Party.

Progress as of December 16th
Michael is doing well at the Junior High School. See his report card for quarter 1.
N.G.A for Quarter 1 - 88.6667 (only 1.3333 less than the minimum line for any honor roll or high honor)
Now Michael is trying to get a 90% of his N-G-A for quarter 2. So far, it is going fine.
Report for quarter 2 (as of 12/21) :
Science - 85%
Math - around 89%
ELA - around 83%
Today, Michael did 3 tests in school. He had a Social Studies Test, Science Test, and the Italian Benchmark. The student teacher, who finished his student teaching at sachem high school grade 10 the day before, surprisingly came to visit. Mr. Parlapiano, the Italian student teacher, graduates tomorrow. Also, I received a 91% on my math test. The score was the reason I decided to put an 89% on math in the possible report card above.
Happy holidays!

The Summer trip 2011 as of July 19th, 2011.
The summer trip has been good so far. On July 1st, we went to Geno's near Boston Massachusetts. On July 4th, we went to Pete's near Annette's house. Annette is Geno's sister. The next day, we went back home for a break. The next day, we went to Holly's because we were pet sitting while they were on vacation. While we were there, we went to the swimming pool at Caledonia State Park about 5 times. On July 18th, which is yesterday, we went to Scott Shoemaker's in Ohio. Today, we mite go to the water park. The plans for today depends on the weather. Tomorrow, we will start our road to Minnesota to see my grandparents and father. Hopefully, the whole trip will be great.
The end of 6th grade and pre-start of 7th Grade
In the past two months, I finished 6th grade and I am going to 7th Grade at Longwood Junior High School. On June 2nd, 2011, I had a tour at the Junior High School. We switch classes every hour or 40 minutes. When you're there, you have lunch for 39 minutes and no recess. You can get homework help after school. If you're a part of the Special Education Department. I felt sad to leave the Middle School. I had a great time at the Middle School. I hope that 7th Grade will be more successful than other grades. In order to play school sports, you'll have to get certain grades. Also, you'll have to probably get an 85 or over to run the student government in 7th Grade like 6th Grade.

Memorial Day Weekend
This weekend is Memorial Day. This purpose of memorial daiy is to remember veterans. Today, I went to the apartment complex pool twice. During the first time, I was freezing myself off and we left after a short time so my mother could listen to the Autism Conference video. At the next time, they were more kids at the pool including my friends. When we got there, six yelled "Michael's Here!". And then, we played volleyball and had a jumping contest.
Tomorrow, I am going to church in Jamesport. And then, we are meeting some friends in Riverhead for a festival. It is going to be an awesome weekend. I hope you are enjoying the holiday too.
