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.
My favorite assignment...
this assignment was to get students

in the anime community and not have
my opinion shut down

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!?!
create and design your own school
The big idea was to make us socialize and contribute ideas to our class mates
