A couple of weeks ago we started a new part of our health and career unit about education and career. This part consisted of a bunch of mini projects including a gifted writing prompt, a timeline of events in our life so far, a couple of career tests and a movie about my future. The first thing we did was…
What I Carry
At the beginning of our health and career unit, we were introduced to a project called “What Do I Carry?” This was kind of an introduction paragraph to explain to the class who we are. We first started off the assignment by reading the requirements of the project and then learned that we would be using Keynote , an app we…

Science Lab and DNA Model
A few classes ago in science we did a strawberry DNA extraction lab which was really fun because we haven’t done a lab in a while.

Who’s at my Table

This video would later be submitted to the website Here’s My Canada for chances to win big prizes. We started off this project by brainstorming ideas that came to us when we think of what Canada means to us. Here…
