We have been working on describing others, recounting what people like to do in there free time, and connecting what people like to do in there free time with descriptions about them.
I learned many new adjectives and how to describe people by their everyday actions.
I created a project that demonstrates my ability to use this content in the target language.
This was assigned for the purpose of using the words and phrases we know in Spanish to describe people, what they are like, what they like, and where they like to go. These are important to learn because learning which verbs go with which pronoun is very difficult, but vital when learning Spanish.
Yo soy independiente, creativa, y cómica. Me gusta comer, dormir, y mirar Netflix.
In order to see there must be lightsource, because without light everything is black. The emits particles called photons, which bounce off solid objects in all directions before reaching the eye. In order to see these particles must first go through the cornea, then the crystalline lense behind the pupil, then the vitreous body( the middle of the eye), finally they reach the retina and stop at the retinal pigment epithelium where they set off nerve pulses, that are directed to the optic nerve. Then the go through the optic pathways, before arriving at the occipital brain where the image is formed.
For my genius hour project I am learning how to crochet. I have always been intrigued by the idea of crocheting and now I’m finally pursuing my interest. My mom and I have enrolled in crocheting classes that will begin in a week or two. I’m very excited for this project and curious for where this might lead me.
I asked my great aunt “What is something you struggle with on a daily basis?”, and she replied “I struggle with feeling safe in my own home, and going out because I live alone.”
I started thinking of possible solutions to her problem. My first idea was that she can just install a security system, but later realized it might not be as simple as I originally thought, because like many other elderly adults she is on a fixed income, and cannot afford it.
Next, I thought she could buy a firearm for emergencies, but then found that older people are more likely than the average person to suffer self-inflicted gunshot wounds, as accidental or intentional injuries, therefore this would only worsen the situation.
Finally I thought she could get a dog. Pets have been proven to reduce stress and lessen loneliness, and studies have shown that having a dog improves overall comfort and helps the owner feel safer, therefore solving my aunt’s problems.
In our lab we observed how different environments, like microhabitats, in school yards support different varieties of organisms. In my microhabitat I observed that the soil is rocky and full of sediments. There was algae in the water, and that water had large rocks in the middle of the stream.
