Completion of planter boxes

November 10, 2020

WE’VE DONE IT! The planter boxes are finally complete and filled! I had taken a bit of a break from shoveling dirt in October because after shoveling dirt for enough time it actually starts to get a bit tedious (crazy, I know) but they are done!! It is a very nice sight to look at and see the progress that has been accomplished. It has been a long and arduous journey. The hardest part about it was keeping continued motivation to keep working on it knowing that we would not be planting anything in it for months to come because it was becoming winter and anything that we would plant would die as the temperature dropped. I am very excited to actually have fresh vegetables later in the year. I believe that the process of making these boxes from the inception of the idea to the completion of the actual finished boxes is a perfect demonstration of learning outcome 4 “Show commitment to and perseverance in a fieldwork experience and falls under Activity as the process of bringing this idea into fruition was very active and was done with the intention of creating a healthy lifestyle.

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...
