Eureka! This picture and word are a perfect description of this semester. I feel that I have learned and understood so much in this short amount of time. My favorite way of learning, so far, has been through projects. Projects allow us to learn the information whilst teaching it to each

other. Projects also test our people skills, tech skills, and our ability to make learning fun. As I went through trying to remember names and dates, places and events, and how they all fit together; it was helpful to have the different mediums of teaching that came through projects. Our projects provided variety so as to not get bored. We had to draw, act things out, find pictures, and write about our topics to show our understanding. Having one project right after another made us have to think about ways to improve. If we did not make each project better then they started to get boring. So our creativity was pushed to the max. I enjoyed the support of my classmates to aid in learning. I cannot wait to start another semester!

My attitude going into the next semester ->

 

As a little eight year old girl, I was truly scared today! I had just fallen asleep when a little sparkle of light hit my eye. Well, then I was up and I was not able to fall asleep again. So I went outside to get some fresh air. Unlike I had expected it was pitch black, except for  two little rays of light shining from down the street out of the church window. As I watched from behind a stump (the one in the picture), I saw a blur of a figure on a horse race by. You will never guess who it was! It was Mr. Paul, the guy who makes horseshoes for my horse. I decided to follow him, so I got on my little pony and followed him all the way to the edge of the water. I stopped there wondering why he was in a boat going across the water. I went home after deciding it was to dangerous to follow Paul any further. In the morning I woke up, wondering what exactly had happened. I stepped outside and heard people discussing about a brave man who warned the colonists about the British attack. Oh! It was Mr. Paul.
