Math Project-The Pythagorean Theorem

Recently for a math class I had to make a project about the pythagorean theorem. I worked with Quinten on it because he is my friend and he is also in my math class. We made a burrito and we explained how people use the pythagorean theorem to make their burrito’s. It was called The Ultimate Perfect Burrito. We used a bunch of construction paper making it. We had the construction paper and we ripped up a bunch of  colored papers that looked remotely like the colors of burrito ingredients. After that we wrote a response about it. Here is our work if you would like to see it.

Lost in Love

1 John 4:10-11

This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

 

In the Bible the greatest commandment is to love God and to love one another. This year we as an 8th grade want to follow the example that Jesus gave us to love everyone. We can show our theme, Lost in Love, to others in our school and to people in the world.

 

I can show this theme many ways at school. What it means to me is that God loves us so much not because anything that we can do but because He made us and cares for us and we should show that same love to others. One way I can show Jesus’ love to others at school is by showing respect by listening to my classmates when they are talking. Another way I can show love to others is by trying to be friends with someone who doesn’t have many or just talking to them. Another way I can show love to my school is by not thinking or saying negative things about others.

 

As Christians, we can also show this theme to the world. One way we can do that is through our actions. As we know actions speak louder than words and we as Christians can be examples by showing others how to love. Another way we can show our love to the world is just by being there for others. We should always lead by example and lead others to God.

 

We can show our theme, Lost in Love, to others in our school and to people in the world. We should always do the best we can to love others no matter the circumstances.

Beginning of Year Reflections

One thing that I have enjoyed so far this year is going to 8th grade camp and hanging out with my friends. Camp was really fun and I got to have lot’s of fun there.

One thing I have learned in school so far this year is the history of The United States and how it was discovered and colonized. We have been working on a really fun project where Mrs. Williams is the Queen and she sent explorers to discover the New world and right now we are working on the 13 original colonies and we get to make our own.

Something I am looking forward to this year is just having a great year by learning and having fun as an 8th grader.

Science Boat Project

Our boat is powered by air. The first time went better than expected. Before it would turn and not make it to the end  but the first trial went well and we got 11.53 seconds. The changes we will make is we will make it shorter because it was too long and we will put more weight in the back so it doesnt tip forward. We hope that we will do better than last time.

My Summer 2017

I had a very fun summer. I went to a camp called Grace adventures with some of my friends and I had a ton of fun. They had way more activities and fun stuff than camp geneva because they have paintball and tubing and better food. I also went to a cottage with my extended family called which was on a lake called Spider Lake in Traverse City. We go there every summer and we have lots of fun because we watch tigers games, go boating and we do campfires. I also hung out with my friends. I started playing football so I have been practicing a lot of football and it is fun. Sometimes I don’t feel like practicing because it is very hot. I also went to my grandparents farm a lot and played badminton with my siblings and did other fun stuff with my cousins to. And that was my summer.

Invictus

I am picking the main security guard. At the beginning he was opposed to have new white security guards and he thought he could not trust the white guards but through the movie they learned to work together and trust each other for the good of the country. Also he was a great actor.
