REVIEW OF THE MONTH: 

Lit. Circles/Reading: 

We’ve already ended the lit. circles a while ago, and we have all finished our reading projects! There were two different ones we could choose from. One is called Character Container, which is a container of any sort, which explains the main character of a story. The character container contains symbols, quotes, that might represent the character. For example, if someone’s character is Sadako Sasaki from Sadako and 1000 Paper Cranes, he or she might add a paper crane into his or her container. The other one is the Ideagram, which is a poster-like diagram that includes visual imagery about what our book was about. If someone read Sadako and 1000 paper cranes (that story is beautiful by the way), he or she would write about the aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and then relate the real-life information to the book. He or she would add quotes and symbols to it as well. 

Science:

For Science, Ms. Arden divided us into groups and we researched different ecosystems in the world. For the first part, we created dioramas out of boxes and made powerpoints on them and presented them. For the second part, we made powerpoints about how humans have impacted the ecosystem, for example, hunting for animals in this ecosystem. And boy is that a hard one to do. 

Art:

Right now for art, we get to do any art-related project we want. Everyone did an art proposal about a certain art style and ran it through Ms. Arden and got started. There are people even drawing anime, blueprints and many other interesting types of art. People are getting real creative and I’m quite interested to see how everything ends up.
