God at Work

God knew that Paul would go into ministry the day Paul was born. Paul was trained to be a Pharisee, so he learned scripture and basically memorized it. When Paul was converted, and sent out on his trips, he could easily tell people scripture. Paul…

Persecution PBL

Our group worked really well together. We got our work done really fast, but it was still done very well. We had a really pretty and professional display. Our posters were really nice and our candy display was great. We sold all of our candy…

Spaghetti and Marshmallow Towers

Our tower sucks. It is lopsided and leaning really bad. It was hard to build because the marshmallows hardened. But our team worked really well together. We got work done that needed to be done. So that was good.       

Pythagorean Theroem

Our math problem was about two people; Henry and Raquel. Henry and Raquel come from a book we just read in Spanish class. Henry was a pirate, and so was Raquel. Henry wanted to pick Raquel up for a date, but he didn’t know how…

Chain

I think the pipe cleaners will work the best because the wire is really hard to break. I think the straws might not work because they are taped together, and don’t stay well. We didn’t use the paper because it is flimsy. We also didn’t…

Beginning of Year Reflections

So far, my eighth-grade year is awesome. I’ve had so much fun. I really enjoy that we get lots of time to do homework during class. I like it because sometimes I am really busy after school, so it is really helpful that I have…

Boat Races

Invictus Reflection

We watched the movie “Invictus” to get a better understanding of Africa, and to learn about Nelson Mandela. The movie overall was pretty good. I saw reconciliation in the movie many different times. One major event of reconciliation was when Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) helped the…

How Has My Idea of Africa changed?

Until this unit about Africa started I didn’t know much about Africa. This sounds bad, but I used to think everyone in Africa was poor and had darker skin. After learning about Africa today my thoughts of Africa have changed a lot. I learned that…

Traveling through Europe Stimulation

One challenge I faced while traveling through Europe as a tourist was having to go through France almost every time I wanted to get to a different country. It was super annoying because sometimes the line would be long and I would have to wait…

Bible Exam Themes

Names       We learned about names and the importance of them in the bible. We learned about God’s names, God has two main names. YHWH (father, loving, relational,) and El (creator, powerful.) One name of God that stood out to me is the…

Density Columns

We poured corn syrup in first, then dish soap, then water, then vegetable oil, then rubbing alcohol. The water and vegetable oil kind of blended. I think they stacked on each other because each one is less dense than the other, so they can float…

Saugatuck Center for the Arts Reflection

Our class went to Saugatuck Center for the Arts to learn about Native Americans through a video and an art museum. During the video, it was cool to see real peoples real perspectives on everything. It was very interesting. I learned from the video that…
