Una Casa Pequeña

The last few weeks this Winter we have progressed a lot in our 'Spanish I' course here at GCE. We have learned things like how to describe spatial relation like aqui : here, ahi : there, and alli : there (farthest). we also learned all the various names for the rooms of a house as well as what chores can be done there. The last thing we learned was the different conjugations for -er, -ar, and -ir verbs. The goal for this units action project was to put all that we learned together. To achieve this we created a labeled floor plan for our very own house design in google drawings with a living room, a bedroom, a dining room, and a bathroom. Once we did that we focused on practicing our verb endings and spatial relation by writing about all the different chores you can do in each room with the correct conjugations on them and using estar in a sentence to reflect on location. Here is are the floor plans for my house!

After thought:

This unit covered the most we've done in Spanish 1 so far. The topic most challenging for me was memorizing the conjugations for each of the verb endings. We did lots of practice with this topic using all types of verbs, and being able to correctly conjugate these verbs is a huge step forward for me. The thing I am most proud of with this action project was writing the chore sentences. It implemented and combined 2 different concepts we learned so getting that completed felt really good. I hope you all enjoyed this project. Thank you for checking it out!

This week at my unorthodox, project based high school, GCE lab school, we have finished up with our first Action project of the year for our water class. An action project is a project we complete that can be used to broadcast and show our learning in a unit, this unit we learned about conversions, fractions, and part vs. Percent. These topics were then applied to the real world when we learned about how many around the world do not have easy access to clean water and how this means that many around the world must walk long distances every day to bring home surface water to sustain themselves and their families. This units action project echo's what we've learned and has provided us an opportunity to teach others about this ongoing tragedy. to get some perspective on water usage we used a website to calculate approximately how much water we use on a daily basis, I learned that I use about 161 gallons of water daily which I found out is MORE than the US national avera

The US vs New Zealand: Push for Rainbow Leadership

This week (10/22/21) in our humanities class, 'Sustainable Development goals and You'. We learned about Gender Equality and more specifically what gender is. We explored the gay rights movement and the women's suffrage movement. We saw how discrimination for gender or sexual identity badly affects things like safety and access to quality medical treatment. To see this in a different light we took a field experience to Andersonville to meet H-Melt and Molly who are activists for the gay rights movement. Molly created a mural in Andersonville that displayed what an abolitionist feminist world would be like, and H-melt helped as a consultant for Molly's art. This experience gave me a great opportunity to ask questions on Abolitionist Feminism. To put this all together we created a comparative essay to see how different countries are working on gender equality. Eyten, Ted. " Virginia Delegate Danica Roem speaking at the Victory F

Keeping our Vision on Fission!

This unit we've been hard at work learning about functions, system of equations, and renewable energy. We learned all about all the different types of energies and how they work and are used in the real world. We spoke with Christa Markgraff who works in the natural gas industry to hear from someone with in-depth experience with all kinds of energy. Even though her work is in natural gas she explained all the different pros and cons of each energy type. Did you know thorium used in nuclear power plants is one of the most efficient power sources? I didn't It was really cool to talk to and ask questions to someone with proper experience in the field. To wrap it all up we worked on creating an infomercial for a renewable resource of our choice. It was fun because we got to take lots of creative liberty on this one. We even took lots of inspiration from the flex tape infomercials featuring the legendary Bob Saget. Now without further ado here's my infomercial! After comp
