Science Fair

For my Science fair project I researched the stroop effect. I learned how colored words effect reading speed.
during the project i used my learner, thinker, contributor, collaborator and innovator skills in many ways. Even though I worked alone I feel that I still displayed collaborator skills by working with my teacher and helping other students. I am a contributor because i did the entire thing myself. I am an innovator because I thought of new ways to test the stroop effect. I am a thinker because i had to think to complete this project. I am a learner because i learned about the stroop effect.

Holiday contribution

Over the holidays I gave many gifts to family and friends. I also bought a vegetable garden for an African village over Oxfam. Unfortunately i don't have any photographic evidence,but i can draw you a picture

Donating money to Africa made me feel good about myself. This donation is an example of my skillz as a contributor

For lit circle I read The Fault in our Stars by John Green. It was quite good. Hazel is an interesting main character who has a unique outlook on life. Hazel meets a guy named Augustus. Hazel has cancer and does not want to hurt Augustus when she dies, so she tries to distance herself from him. (Spoilers) Then she finds out that Augustus has cancer worse than her, and he dies.Its very well written and the ending is quite sad

For my mentor ship fundraiser me and my group (Nikita, Nikita#2, Nic, Me) chose to sell hot chocolate in the morning. Unfortunately when we set up in the morning we had no hot water heater so we could not make any hot chocolate. we waited until lunch and got the heater from Ms.Cimbaro.We sold hot chocolate all lunch and made 23$, even though we spent 40$ to buy our supplies. It was kind of a waste of money, we could have all pitched 10$ and donated it all to BC children’s hospital, but the mentor ship teacher would rather have us “raise school spirit” than actually help people.

For Take your kid to work day I followed my mom, who works as a librarian at the west bank library
I liked how easy it was and checking peoples books out was very simple. I also liked scanning books that were being checked in and looking for damaged pages.
I did not like how boring it was, when there was no customers in the library we had nothing to do, also pulling books that people ordered from the shelves was very boring

I chose Tumblr for my presentation of learning tool because it is simple and easy to use. It also has a large community and good privacy settings. I can also use it to follow people that I know.
I do not like how bad the search engine is at finding other bloggers
