This AP has helped show me how important it is to get financial aid and scholarships for college to help with the college costs. I am someone who is very conscious about what I do with my money, so having to pay off a student loan for most of my adult life actually scares me. I would rather put in the hard work now and reap the benefits later in life when I am then financially stable. Both of these paths are options for me, but I highly recommend getting a scholarship and financial aid. I like setting myself up for success.

Slowly Sloth

Hello! For the first STEAM class of the year, Population, we learned about taxonomy, set theory, quadrilaterals, and biology. To prepare for this class over the summer we read In the Shadow of Man by Jane Goodall.  We also went on our first FE to the Lincoln Park Zoo where we chose the animal we would study for our AP. We then continued to study our animal by visiting the  Field Museum to observe the taxidermy animal we had chosen. For our AP we had to create a project explaining the taxonomy of the animal of choice. I chose Hoffman's two-toed sloth because I think sloths are really interesting. In the project, you will read about Hoffman's two-toed sloth, its habitat, taxonomic categories, and the morphological traits that show the taxonomic categories. You will also learn about set theory and how my animal compares to other animals my classmates have chosen. I hope you enjoy it! CH.

Welcome to the third action project for my STEAM class, Frontiers. This class is about exploration. This project connects directly to my second action project, Space Junk . For this action project, I had to create a poster based on a research paper I created this term. I choose my most recent paper on space exploration. In this paper, I choose to focus on space debris and how this affects space exploration. This poster summarizes my research paper.  CH."Space Debris Poster." Google Slides, 2022. I enjoyed completing this poster. I have a great interest in space, so putting together this poster was fun for me. I believed I have managed my time well with this project as I did include the feedback given to me by my teacher.

Bitter Battle Between Sun and Moon

Hello! My first Humanities class of the year is Stories. In this class, we learned about etiologies, adjectives, adverbs, similes, metaphors, sentence structure, and proper grammar. To prepare for this class, over the summer we read Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. We also had our first FE where storyteller came to talk to us about descriptive writing and how we could better our AP's through storytelling. For our second FE, we visited the Field Museum and learned about the origin stories within other cultures at the museum. For our first AP, we were tasked with creating our very own etiology stories. We are doing this AP to show our understanding of etiologies and storytelling as well as proper grammar and sentence structure. I hope you enjoy my story as much as I do!
