Quitapena



Welcome to this units AP - the quitapena doll. This unit we worked on topics such as colors, clothes, and new verb conjugations including things like o-ue and i-ie. We also furthered our investigation into Spanish food and culture. This is where the idea for the quitapena doll comes in. The quitapena doll or the "worry doll" is a small handmade doll originating from Guatemala. It's purpose is to give you something to whisper your worries to. In this action project we made our own!

La muneca quitapena lleva una toga roja y zapatos azules y rojos




Juega baloncesto

come tacos

limpia el piso

escribe libros

prefiere dormir

esta cansado, nerviouso. La quitapena no esta cansado y nerviouso.





This project was more fun than the others since most of the time spent on it went towards the making of the quitapena doll meaning I got to do less writing. It was, on the other hand, difficult to do the conjugations we just learned, so I am proud that I was able to get through it.

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 ...

Cooking with Calculus

 The last few weeks we have been learning and drilling the basics of calculus.  We learned about using the derivative and power rule to uncover the proper function to graph. This was definitely the most difficult AP ever.  I thought I had the main concepts down well enough but figuring out the steps was like pulling teeth.  To get though it all I had to receive some help but once I got it I felt a bunch better about the whole concept in general.

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...
