Planter boxes planning

 


May 24th, 2020 




During this extra time at home my little sister and I have realized some things about our house that we are really not a huge fan of and things that we wanted to improve. One of the biggest things that we realized our house was missing out on was the opportunity to have a large garden. We compiled a list of materials to make planter boxes and ended up planning to make 5 planter boxes that were 8ft by 3 ft that we would make, fill with dirt, and plant assorted things in. As of right now we only have the plans for them but we have spent a lot of time deciding on materials and how we would construct them and what will go in them. We went with a wood frame with corrugated metal sides for the structure of the boxes with a thin wood trip at the top for purely aesthetic purposes. This fulfills learning outcome 3 as I initiated and planned this learning experience and got to work devising plans for it. This falls under Creativity as we had to use creativity when creating these plans in a useful, artistic, and visually appealing manner.

J-Term

  January 20, 2021 I have been working on Purella (our spin off of Cinderella) and we have added parodies of ABBA songs to it which has not only been challenging, but also really really entertaining. It is incredibly fortunate that “Dancing Queen” and “Quarantine” rhyme and have the same amount of syllables. Here’s the chorus of our first song   (To the tune of dancing queen) “Cause this is quarantine A-void-ing, Co-vid 19 Quarantine Wash your hands, make sure you’re clean, ooooo yeahahaha You can plant, you can bake, look at the things you can make See the news, watch the streets It’s quarantine!” This was absolutely creativity and I believe that it fell under learning outcome 5 as this entire musical was a collaborative piece put together by the whole J-Term group

The Freeze

  February 18, 2021 Well, this week has been an ordeal. I had planned on going camping over the weekend but every single plan had to be changed due to the weather. We had a huge freeze come through and basically take everything out. Roads were dangerous, power went out, water went out, the whole 9 yards. First of all this was an awful situation as it got incredibly cold incredibly quickly as our houses here in Texas were designed to get rid of heat as fast as possible and when the heaters don’t have power the temperature dropped pretty quickly. Luckily I had had all of my camping things but we went to work trying to make sure that we could deal with outages as best we could. I passed around my jackets and flashlights and we all had one with us before the power went out because we knew it was going to go out soon and wanted to be ready. I also went with Nathaniel to the grocery store to pick up food and water when we had a chance because we didn’t know how long it would all ask. I d...

Online School

  October 5th, 2020 As school has been starting up online I have started going on walks with my mom in the morning as we did in the mornings during online school at the end of last year. It has been really nice and having this consistent exercise is undoubtedly good for me. However, it is a stark reminder of the fact that I am not at school in person as due to how far away from school I live it is not realistic for me to have time to go on walks before school during a regular year. It has been very hard for me to continue online school while others are going in person (with many changes from last year, masks, distancing, barriers, one-way hallways, no lockers, no using the fridge or microwaves, and lunch is only allowed outside and very far from others) but it doesn’t seem like going in person would be the best thing for me at this. My brother is at pretty significant risk of health issues if he happened to get covid so we are all being extra cautious for his sake. While online sch...
