Welcome to Gaia! ::

Laviticus rather enjoyed Science class. He had always found the things he learned there to be quite useful and informative. Though he founds the assignments a little too easy. Unscrambling the letters for the plant part names had been quite easy to do. At least he enjoyed the colour of the flower!

I'm trying something new this month--we will have one assignment per month for each grade level, but at the halfway point of the month, all entries that have been submitted so far will be "graded" (ie, you will be quoted that your character has passed or not passed). This will be the "first grading period." At this point, the number of characters you have entered rolls over--if you had two freshlings entered at the beginning of the month, you may now enter two more! Hopefully this will help people get their characters through classes faster.

(I had meant to do this Sunday, but I forgot. Sorry!)

As a reminder, you may only enter two characters per grade per grading period--if you enter three, the third will be disqualified. I'm letting Koi's character Rorie slide, but only for this month, because it's the first time I've had to deal with this.

So just to recap, the assignments stay the same--but your characters have passed and you may now enter up to two more per grade level!

Note on the grading of junior assignments: if your character's grade would have been a passing one in real life, then your character passed!

Coco was really nervous and a bit upset that Milo wasn't with her when she went to the class. It took Coco longer than she would like to fill out the form since she had to respell things, nervous about being around so many people she didn't know. Also, she was nervous since it was a science class, rather than an art class. She wish she could be painting with Milo instead of filling out a paper of flower parts. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and went back to her work.

Bibiana tried to listen as the substitute explained about cells, but after a while, her mind started drifting. She kept her gaze on the board but in her mind she was playing a new game with Farah... Occasionally she would drag her attention back on the sub, but she inevitably started fidgeting, thinking about something else.

Taegan blinked slowly as they listened to the lecture. Astronomy wasn't very interesting to him. They stars would be there for much longer than they would. They didn't understand why they needed this information.... But still. School was school. They listened and got the information they needed before filling out and handing in the worksheet.

Congratulations, you have all passed!

Nissa seemed to be perhaps too happy to be sitting around in a circle with the other students. She finally got to look at everyone, trying to lock names and faces into memory. She almost didn't hear the substitute explaining the assignment, causing her to blink and pause once it was her turn, before she glanced towards the board, a big grin spreading over her lips at the sight of the assignment.

"Oh! Ohhhh! I know! My favorite plant is.... Uhh..." she pouted somewhat, slowly settling back in her seat. "Um... actually, I don't know. I love all plants. They're all important to the world in some way. Some plants turn into food, and others make things smell good, and some help insects grow and make more little bug babies... all plants are really important..." she began, pouting more, before finally letting a bright smile curl on her lips.

"But I guess I'll say all Fragaria are my favorite! That's the family that strawberries belong to! Strawberries are so good and I could eat them all the time! My papa used to say that my momma fed me a lot of strawberries as a baby, and that's why my hair is pink, but I know that's not true, cause his hair is pink too!" she said with a giggle, her smile nearly splitting her face in two.
