English

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.

I chose this assignment because you got to make your own adventure and you got to make multiple paths to go different places to go in the adventure.

My favorite assignment...
In Science, we've learned about natural systems, living systems, cells, body systems, and much more.
The assignment was about researching about jellyfishes and finding out how they have lived for so long without a brain, I chose this assignment because I got to learn new things that I didn't know before.
Math

My favorite assignment...
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.
What you had to do in this assignment was to do research on a mathematician and I just thought this assignment was very interesting and I learned a lot about this person I never knew about.
I chose this assignment because i personally really liked it and you had to do research on on a Greek God and I got to do Zeus.

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!?!
My favorite assignment...
In this assignment you had to do research on a famous dancer and I did Doris Humphrey and I chose this because I thought it was a fun assignment.
