 Hi wlcoem to my blog, our first AP in WATER is a poster.  Beucas I want you to know abnout the usage of water aroudn th world.  We learned Aysha, a girl who has to carry ..... BLAH BLAH BALH In conclusion, I learn ed a lto.  I learned that .......

 Here's my poster.

 Welcome to my introductory project that's introducing WATER and the SDG's!  We have had a buys week starting school, learning about the building and where we can eat lunch naerby, meeting all our friends, and larning LOTS of names.  In our classes we began to learn some things that are imporatnt for the class, like the SDGs.  That stands for Sustainable Development Goal, and it's imporatant for us because of the problems we have to learn about.  We also didn't learn some things, like our teacher won't tell us where he's from.  And I learned about Action Proejcts, where we create work instead of taking a test. For my very first action project, I am creating a poster.  My poster is trying to capture how cool it is that Chicago has a riverwalk.  For our FE we walked along the Riverwalk as a class, and observed how the peolpe use the river.  I saw a ton of boats.  The chairs were fun too.  I made a poster about the water, did you know that from 2015 to 2020, the pe

 For our First unit in Food, we discussed mayn topics, such as. ...  And we visited ....   And I learned....  etc et cetc After all these incredible learning opportunities, it's time to put together our own garden plan!  And so I found a nice little spot in my backyard -- it's actually a little wagon where I could plant the garden -- and designed my own garden.   The first thing to calculate is the area of my garden bed.  It's a simple rectangle, so the area is A = 4 x 2.5 = 10square feet.  The volume is V= l x w x h = 4 x 2.5 x 8 = 80 square inches.  Lastly, I wanted to weigh the soil, so I weighed a small amount in a cup (which was 5 cubic inches).  That weighed 4 ounces, so 80/5 = 16, so my garden is 16 times bigger, or 4 x 16 = 64 ounces. Now that I have measured out my garden, time to select plants!  Now I love fresh vegetables, which are ANNUAL plants, or plants that only grow for one year.  In particular, I want to plant tomatoes, jalapenos, and lettuce, which I thin

 Our final unit in Water class we really ran out of time -- so we really only had a chance to talk about greenhouse gases & air pollution, select a city from around the world, and research some information about the city & use the math concepts of slope & graphs to analyze things. My city is Chicago!  My adopted home city.  So let me share with you some information about Chicago and hope you can learn some things about the city, and its climate and pollution. As you can see, there is a positive slope with the air pollution in Chicago.  We can do better to protect our city, and the air we breathe!   I hope that as members of our community we can prioritize the decisions that will move us in the direction of cleaner air.
