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!

House Chores for each room

La sala: 


Yo Sacudo los muebles en la sala


Yo Paso la aspiradora en la sala


Yo Miro la televisión en la sala


Yo limpio la sala


El baño: 


Yo limpio el baño


El dormitorio:


Yo abro la ventana del dormitorio


Barro el suelo en el dormitorio


Yo Ordeno el dormitorio


El comedor:


Yo lavo los platos


Yo saco la basura


Yo lavo la mesa

 
Estoy:

Yo estoy en la sala


La sala está a la izquierda del dormitorio


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!

Drippy Stats

      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 ...

There's WHAT in the water!?!

10/27/21 There's WHAT in the water?!?      In our Water class, a core class that combines math and science and applies it to real-world issues, we learned many things this past week. We started with scientific notation, exponents, and logarithms. with which we applied by checking exactly what was in our drinking water.  To test this we met with Rock from 'Plant Chicago' where he showed us his organization's hydroponics and aquaponics set-ups. It was really cool being able to see how the cycle worked and how each organic benefitted the next, the fishs' excrement became ammonia which was taken in as nutrients for the plants in the form of nitrites which ten transformed into nitrates to grow the plants.  we were able to measure exactly how much pH, Ammonia, Nitrates, and nitrites were in the aquaponics systems water. we did this using the API Water test kit; using the kit we dropped what looked like a dye, this dye would indicate how much of each contaminated the ...

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...
