The Road Trip of Of A Lifetime
A dream come true I would say. Ever since I moved from California in 2012 I have always wanted to take a trip down the west coast. Surfing has always been an interest of mine and being able to surf everyday at some of the best surf spots in the world would be amazing. In […]
TPOLS, an Online Journey
Driving Question: Why do you feel you are ready to advance to the next grade level? It’s been a long time coming. It’s been nearly 10 months since I first stepped into the PLP classroom and the amount that has changed since then is uncanny. I have not only got comfortable with high school but […]
Covid Through The Eyes Of A Camera
Photo journalism has always been extremely crucial for documenting history. Whether it be historic moments in time or messages that cannot be explained with words, the power of a photograph is undeniable.

Change, Change, and More Change.
One month ago today we began our fourth humanities project this year. For this project we incorporated two focuses that shared a comm0n trait. Change. One of the two factors of this project was the renaissance which might have held the biggest change Europe had faced. The other factor was our transition from grade 7 […]
The Ultimate Design Challenge
A dream come true I would say. Being able 3D print an object of your choice that you get to make all by yourself was terrific. Just the feeling of working incredibly hard on designing an object and knowing that you’ll be able to have a physical replica of it is pretty cool. Having access […]
Science That Matters
You would think that learning about matter and atoms is common knowledge and is something that everyone should have learned in the fourth grade. Going into this project with that mindset did not serve me well. I instantly realized how much there is to know about something as small as atoms and molecules and how […]
