Timeline Reflection

For me, this project was nowhere close to being a challenge. But this was a great way to enter a fun year in social studies. I would have liked there to be a challenge option ifwe wanted to push our limits. I think that we could have just went right into making a timeline. Learning about AD, BC, BCE,  and CE did not really help our final project. Overall this was a great way to start a year!!!!

Dissecting Fish

  • What did you learn about the perch? I learned that perches have a toxic spike on one of their fins.
  • What did you learn about sea lamprey? I learned that sea lamprey sucks on other fish’s blood. Ewwwww!!
  • What observations did you make? I noticed that the sea lamprey and the perch have very different body types. I wonder if each body helps the fish do what they have to do to stay alive.
  • What wonders, questions, thoughts, do you have? I wonder what perch eat. I think that they eat smaller organism but I am not sure.

Our Jewish Studies Project

This was an amazing experience for me. I got to work with little kids and make a great presentation for our class. What I really loved was that I got to share my knowledge about sukkot. I look forward to doing more of these projects. What I would do differently would be to let the students choose their Jewish projects. Overall this was awesome!!!!

Zip-lining at Lake Geneva

I liked going to lake geneva because I got to go zip-lining for the first time. I loved how all my friends cheered me on as I zoomed through the air. I was so scared at the beginning but my friends were all there for me and I went on the first four but I didn’t go on the 1200 foot zip-line. I think the team building helped me build the relationships I had because we had to work in a team. The reason it was so good is that I expanded my comfort zone, next time I will go on the 1200 foot zip-line.  I really liked the rope swinging teambuilding activity. It taught me that you have to work together for success in your life. I would really like to go back and do this again. It was super fun!!!!!

Pringles Challenge

What stuck out to me about the pringles challenge was that even when we failed it was so fun hanging out and working together with my team and I think that that is something that you can not find in a regular class. I think ETC is a very special class and you should value that.

Science this week

 

  • What challenge excited you the most? Why?

The saving Fred challenge excited me most because it was fun to fail and work with friends and then when we did it it was awesome.

 

 

 

  • What was difficult about the challenges?

What was challenging was that we could not touch Fred the boat or the life preserver. We had to use four paper clips to save Fred.

 

 

 

  • What was comfortable about the challenges?

What was comfortable about saving Fred was that we could plan and create ideas before the challenge.

 

 

  • What is something you want to work on moving forward?

I want to work on more being of a team player and making sure everyone has a role in what the team is doing.

 

 

  • What are you looking forward to this year in science?

I am looking forward to doing more of these kinds of challenges. They are really fun!

High Holiday Project Brainstorm

What do I know about my topic? Describe all the details, information, ideas that you do know. I know that Sukkot is the holiday that we celebrate the harvests of the Israelites. Also, sukkot is my Hebrew B-Day
What are 10 other questions I have that I need to research for a further study?
  1. Why is sukkot important?
  2. What role does sukkot play in our lives?
  3.  Why do we like sukkot?
  4. Why do the Jewish people build sukkahs?
  5. What are the four symbols of luluvs?
  6. What are the other names for sukkot?
  7. How do we observe sukkot?
  8. What are the symbols for sukkot?
  9. What are we celebrating when we celebrate sukkot?
  10. Why is sukkot a holiday

Where will I begin to look for those answers? Books and google.

What help do I need to move forward in my project? I do not think I need help.

6th One Pager Summer Assessment

One choice I made on my project was to put all the themes on the one-pager so people could see what the book was about. I made this choice because it shows I understood/learned  what the book was about.

Another choice I made on my project was to add the names of the main characters. I made this choice because it shows I understood/learned who played a big part in the book.

The next choice I made on my project was to add the main scenery in the middle so people know where it took place. I made this choice because it shows I understood/learned  where the book took place.

Another choice I made on my project was  to add why I chose this book. I made this choice because it shows I understood/learned why it was important and I learned that this book is very good.

The final choice I made on my project was to add a big picture of Mr.fox the main character. I made this choice because it shows I understood/learned  how important and fantastic he is.

“Do or do not there is no try” -Yoda

I chose this as one of my quotes because Mr.Fox shows no fear and has a lot of pride in what he does. Mr.Fox just does it, he doesn’t even think about what he is doing. He just does it.

“If you don’t try you won’t succeed”

I chose this quote because Mr.Fox tries whatever he can do to help his family and the animals. Again if Mr.Fox didn’t do it he would have never succeeded.
