Before and after Cabin Fever.

We languish the days we could travel together, today we talked about how we cope with the quarantine and physical distancing. We read about Cabin Fever and some interesting recommendations now that we spent more time inhouse with family and compete for some of the spaces.  

Everyone chooses a photo of a moment worth remembering, mine is at the start of the page.

 

Can't wait to meet my students back in person and devour the special cookie recipe they included in their entrepreneurial project. Four types using healthy ingredients of their choice.

On a continué a practiquer et chanter les jours de la semaine et les saisons. Aussi, on a visité à travers une vidéo de l'interieur des maisons.

Space Adventure

A prototype of SpaceX's next-generation Starship vehicle has successfully flown to an altitude of 150m (500ft). The final Starship vehicle will feature six Raptors, standing 50m (165ft) tall. It could carry 100 people on a single flight. - BBC News, August 5th, 2020.

Today my students presented their research and a virtual visit to the Space Shuttle exhibition at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. 

They had so much fun working together with their teammates, everyone participated in creating the team's content. They managed their own schedule to meet the deadline, coordinated their videoconferences, agreed on each one contribution, had the meetings, and were able to set in motion their learning during these last weeks by collaborating from home and practicing on their own using Google Drive, Slides, and Meet. This is a pick of their work.   

Today's reflection had us talking about ethics after watching a video on the human genome and the answer an MIT researcher gave to the teenager question. Can a Unicorn be genetically produced? I was happy that some of my students think, first to ask ourselves, WHY or to what purpose we will want to do such thing and one of them said, his question will be, "Can limbs be grown back to someone who lost them?". >>>      

Aujourd'hui on a pactiquer les adjectif possesifs et on a regardé qu'est-ce qu'on mange a la cantine du collége.

Droplets

This is me, so we can't forget the good old days!!!  What are you doing?

"If you want something that's guaranteed to have droplets, it's your phone. The smooth surface is ideal for spreading the virus" -Washington Post.

This means that asking a stranger to take our photo or him fulfilling the favor most probably violates the current health guidance in regards to COVID.

Wash your hands and sanitize your screens 📳, and try to spend more time caring for others was today's reflection.

La musique a été notre thème aujourd'hui et on a practiqué le conjugaison du verbe aimer. Si vous voulait connaître les connotations dans la langue français, regardez le video. >>>

Girls in class have a different perception of creativity and enjoy crafting their class journals with flowers, different markers, and ribbons, it's nice when they share their personality and put their energy at work.

Splash down

"A Michigan library had to ask patrons to stop microwaving books to kill the coronavirus after noticing returned books with scorched pages." - CNN.

The positive side is people are reading, other angles are being excessively cautious or an ailment of health illiteracy? 

COVID, being a new disease, we need to ask the right questions and analyze the relative risks of our actions.

>>> At the Online Camp fourth week, after our warm-up, we extended our art reflection to Graffiti works. My students considered the beauty and inspiration they provoke us. A big concern for them is the places used. For example,  monuments, sculptures and similar should be spared. Public spaces can be provided by the city to allow this social expression. >>>

Aujourd'hui, c'était le tour pour parler d'argent et ce que on peut faire après le collège. >>>

Today's reading captivated us, our heroes will test the Whisperer machine.

We are starting a new project, in tune with the SpaceX splashdown, my students will research its predecessor, the Space Shuttle that used to come back to a landing strip, and will build a presentation for their own Space Adventure using Google Slides.
