God at Work

In the recent Bible classes, we have been learning about Saul, who we have come to know as Paul, and his ministry after he was converted. Many things in Paul’s past helped him spread God’s word. One of these things is that he had Roman and Jewish citizenship. This helped him travel more freely and […]

Vocanoes

We made Mauna Loa for our volcano in science class. We made the skeleton out of cardboard and the rest out of paper mache. We painted it brown and red for the lava. We made the poster as well and it went great.

Indonesia

In the 8th grade persecution project, my group had the country of Indonesia. We had our presentation in the party bus and we had posters of fun facts and three things you can do to help the ongoing persecution in Indonesia. Our group worked pretty well together and we had fun presenting and making our […]

Spaghetti Tower Lab

Our tower was not as good as we hoped. The building went smoothly but in a bad way. We spent all of our money and bought insurance which didn’t really do anything except give us a sense of security. We left the marshmallows on overnight and they hardened and made a major setback in the […]

Math Project

Our idea came from the love of the word “noon” and we wanted to incorporate it into our question. We thought that it would make sense for us to try to hang out at noon at Ty’s house. We soon realized that our question couldn’t revolve around a single word so we figured it could […]

Science Boat Project

We made a boat with styrofoam cups as sails and straws on the side. The first trial went ok. We finished in 6th. The changes we will make include making the boat slimmer so it will not slide on the side and get slowed by friction. I hope we will do better our second time.

This summer was great. I went to a summer camp with my friends. We did lots of fun stuff. We slept on an island in tents. Then we camped at a campground for two weeks. I also spent a week at my cousin’s house and we went tubing and other boat stuff. I have also […]

Invictus

We watched the movie Invictus in class today and I noticed a little boy who showed up a few times during the movie. The first time he shows up he is at a church offering free clothing. When he was there a nice white lady tries to give him a warm up shirt from South […]

Africa Class Activity

When we did the quiz of if the person was born in Africa or not, I did not do very well. I believe that is because of the huge diversity in Africa and how we are shown only the black children who are starving and not the other people of more northern Africa. When we […]

Eagle Huntress

I liked the Eagle Huntress movie because it taught that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. I learned about their culture in Mongolia and how the hunting method of eagles is passed down in a family. Also I learned that the foxes they hunt take weeks to find and it […]

Saugatuck Film Festival

The Solar System: I thought it was cool that he made a scale model of the solar system and how no one has ever done anything like that. Running Wild: I liked how they used strange things to bate the wolverines. Canyon Song: I liked how they came back to their culture and traditions and went to […]

Cataluña

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-TM5DVypfISYmx6LUh3RlVZck0/view?usp=sharing   Yo pienso que Cataluña debe tener la independencia porque tienen la cultura totalmente diferente y hablan diferente lengua. También las tradiciones son diferentes. Los dos lados de este argumento tiene cosas buenas. Los dos lados tienen cosas malas. Pero en realidad, Cataluña nunca debería estar junto con España. Eso es porque yo estoy […]

Birmingham Movie Reflection

We watched a movie about Birmingham and it talked about the segregation and how the african-americans in that community came together and ended the segregation. Some of the things that stuck with me were these black men sitting in a bar then getting beat badly by some police. This movie made me feel happy that […]
