English
With Ms. Wagener
In English, we learned all about different types of writing, such as argument and creative. We read a short story called "The Hitchhiker" by Lucille Fletcher and a novel called Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.
Character Trading Cards
I chose character art because I get to make characters as trading cards and it was fun.

Science
With Mrs. Rivera
Draw a cell
I chose to draw a cell because I like to draw.
In Science, we've learned about natural systems, living systems, cells, body systems, and much more.
Math
With Ms. Jenkins
Fishy Coloring
Math topics include the following: GCF/LCM, rates and proportions, integers, expressions and equations, and statistics. If time allows, we get into basic geometry. We also do a handful of hands-on projects throughout the year.
I liked that we got to color in math.

About the class...In History, we are studying Ancient Civilizations. We have studied ancient Egypt, Israel and Greece. We are learning about different cultures by learning about their history, music, dance, art, and literature.
We learned about the Greek gods and goddesses and have done slide presentations.

History
With Ms. Williams
Ever curious about how choreographers get their inspiration? Well, you are in luck because currently we are learning about the world of Modern Dance and how using Pantomimes and gestures (real life movements) can be inspired into creating realistic dances. Who would have ever thought I can turn something as simple as brushing my teeth into a dance!?!
Design Your Unlimited School
I picked Design Your Unlimited school because I got to work with other people.
