Month: October 2021

This week we read some more “My Name Is Not Easy” which in my opinion is better than the alchemist. Instead of selling crystals, they’re skinning dead moose. It is significantly better.

We learned about animals and evolution. The types of classification and stuff like that. We also worked on our Alchemist Draft, which took me a painfully long time. It took me like almost 2 hrs straight to write it. For a second project I’m making a slide show which is taking quite a bit as well

We had a half day on Wednesday which was nice. We are finishing up on our art series. We also did music appreciation, which is basically where we just take a music term and play a song or something that represents it.

That’s all for this week

This week we missed Monday because it was Columbus day. Yeah maybe we were celebrating someone who committed mass genocide but, a day off is a day off. Anyways on Tuesday we figured out how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit. Until Tuesday I did not know that 0 degrees Celsius was in reality 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

This week we wrote a philotimo essay, on the same topic that we do every year. “How can you show philotimo?” “what does philotimo mean to you?” just the usual questions. This year I decided to write mine in Spanish.

We also started on our new book called “My Name Is Not Easy”. It’s about some kids who go to a boarding school because there are not many schools in their villages.

That’s all for this week

We worked on scientific diagrams, which was basically learning about science equipment and how to display them in drawings or pictures. Some rules about drawing that equipment include:

• No 3D
• No colors
• Nothing can be floating

We are also doing this project with things called editorials. It’s where we write small persuasive essays. We just take something we want to convince people about and write about it in short little essays. In my case, I wrote about Plato uniforms and my opinion on them. We also are working on a baseball card project, where we make our own custom cards. I was not here most of this week and missed most of the work so I don’t have much to write about this time.

That’s all for this week
