Innovation Day Reflection

If you ask me to look back at Innovation Day, I was excited about starting the project but by the end, I was just excited to know that it was coming to an end. The reason why I wanted it to come to an end was that Innovation Day is a mix of a lot of emotions because it is stressful but at the same time exciting. 

Although I was excited for it to come to an end I got to learn a lot about myself for example I learnt that I work better when I have a schedule. What I mean is that I found that I work better if I do things in order. For example, if I work a little bit on the Cospace then work a little bit on the physical build and then a little bit on the Canva I get messed up and lost. But if I focus only on the Cospace until it is finished or finished enough that it only needs some touch-ups and then work on the physical build and then the Canva I don’t get lost or confused.

Another thing I learnt about myself is that I like to do public speaking. Before I presented my project to the judges I was nervous but while I did my first presentation I realized how much I enjoyed it. When the last judge left I was kind of sad because I wanted to present my project to another judge because of how fun it was.

Although I learnt a lot about myself I also learned about how good I am at coding. I don’t mean to sound full of myself but I didn’t realize that I could code so well. The way I found out about this was because one day I was at home and my mom asked me if I wanted to go work on my Cospace to be honest I didn’t want to but I did cause I had nothing better to do. When I got into the Cospace I noticed that there was just something missing I didn’t know what but I just started coding away and accidentally recorded the whole thing! And it turned out better than I thought it would and the judges loved it.

At the end of the day Innovation Day taught me a lot from just simple things like time management to public speaking and coding. Although I was excited for it to come to an end but just to remember everything always has a purpose.

Goal Review – Mid Year Check in

Heyy you guys I’m back!

If you remember I shared with you guys my SMART Goals but did I achieve them?

Ok to get started with improving in math. I have improved in math but have not improved to the level I wanted. I am still working on improving in math. I still have time until February break for improvement but I don’t think I will reach my goal then.

Moving on to my second goal A.K.A my learning skill goal I have not fully achieved this goal but I am on a good track. First, my organization goal has gotten significantly better because I don’t have a part under my desk but a little bag on the side so it forces me to stay organized or I can’t find what I need.

Second this year I have gotten much better at time management. For example, I have been less late to school. This is because I have an alarm that wakes me up early in the morning so I have time to get ready.

Thank you for reading/listening and have a great day.

SMART Goal

Hi everyone!

Today I wanted to share my SMART Goal.

I want to improve or advance in math. I will know that I am achieving this goal by getting an average of 90-100 on tests, quizzes, and assignments. Ms. Cleveland will give me extra help and work outside of class. This goal is important to me because math is essential and can help me get into good schools and jobs. Hopefully, I will finish this goal before February break.

My learning skill goal is better time management and organization. I will know that I am achieving this goal by having an organized room and not being late to school. My parents will support me with this goal. This goal is important because having good time management and organization is a good skill to have. This goal, hopefully, will be finished before the end of the school year.

Bye!

The Haidas

Hi or hello everyone today I wanted to show you a project I spent a long time on.

What is the project?

For this project, our teacher told us to research an Indigenous group. Our group researched and analyzed the Haida nation’s culture, traditions, language, conflict, and history.

Why is learning more about various Indigenous communities important? 

I think learning about various Indigenous communities is important because we need to learn more about them and their history. After all, the Europies stole the land of Canda from the Indigenous communities.

 

What makes my Indigenous community unique/diverse?

What makes Haidas unique/diverse is that the Haidas group is split into 2 groups. The names of the 2 groups are Raven and Eagle. In the Eagle and Raven group, each household lives 30 to 40, and a chief oversees each house. Every chief owns a nice, large home that hundreds of people can live in. Those houses are also homes to slaves. Some chiefs could also be used as war chiefs if something bad happens, or there is a conflict.

 

10 new facts I learned about my Indigenous community 

  1. Instead of Haida children going to school children watch their parents dance but parents don’t just dance they teach stories when they dance and sing.
  2. The Haidas group had a celebration called Potlatch. The Potlatch is a big celebration that means to give. The Potlatch is not like a normal party, at the Potlatch the host gives the guest gifts instead of the guests giving the host gifts.
  3. The Haida group lived on Haida Gwaii for at least 6000 to 8000 years.
  4. The Haida made regular trade with the Spanish, British, Russian, and American whalers and fur traders.
  5. The most significant story in the Haidas culture is about a Raven but the story is not just about a Raven it is about how the Raven disguised himself to enter the house of the Sky Chief, from whom he stole the sun, moon, and stars to give to humankind.” (Mythology and Crests).
  6. The Haida live in shelters built on the water. With that water, they use it to drink and eat the fish that live in the water. In the summer they build houses out of cedar trees. The Haida also used cedar trees for canoes and boats to travel to different islands.
  7. In the Haida group, the women took care of the easier jobs, and the men took the harder jobs. The women made food, baskets, clothing, and more. The men made carvings and painted them. Then, both women and men collected shellfish and hunted birds.
  8. The Haida community speaks English and a native language called Xaad kil. In the year 2016, 445 people spoke Xaad kil in the world and only a bit spoke fluently.
  9. The Haida tribe mainly lives on the coastal bay of Haida Gwaii in British Columbia. Haida Gwaii is a group of islands containing about 150 islands in a sword-like shape that is 250 km long. Haida Gwaii is one of the most isolated islands in Canada. It was formed by huge plates moving under the Pacific Ocean from the south to their present location.
  10. All the native mammals and the 3 types of birds are especially unique. Unfortunately, raccoons and squirrels are becoming a threat to many of the unique seabirds that live there.

 

What else would I like to learn about Indigenous communities?

Something else I would like to learn more about in Indigenous communities is the stories they teach their kids because I find the stories very interesting in my opinion.

Thank you for reading have a good day or good night and see you next time.

Hi or hello,

Welcome back or welcome to Animal Lover’s blog! Today I wanted to start with sharing with you about my innovation day experience. By the way if I talk about my partner I am not speaking for them I am just talking about the experience I had with them.

My innovation day experience was very fun but to be honest also really stressful at the same time. During innovation day my and my partner were fasted with multiple problems involving the lights. We didn’t know what happened because the first time a light was being finicky, me and my partner found the problem but for the second and third time we could not find the problem. Only after what felt like forever we fixed it we still are not sure what happened. Even though it was hard I pushed through it and had a good time. Me and my partner did not win but that did not ruin our spirits. 

This is a picture of our build:

The name of our build is “Galactic Plinko”

Bye and have a good day or night

Bye!

Social Studies Term 1

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven’t posted in a little while but I want to tell you guys about my first Social Studies semester. So here we go.

This term in Social Studies we learned about Canadian identity. We explored diversity among the provinces, national symbols, and international organizations that Canada plays a role in. 

What makes Canada diverse?

The diverse country, Canada, is full of all different kinds of culture and people. The Canadian country’s national languages are English and French. The lovely thing about all the different cultures is that you get to see their holidays or taste the food of the culture. Diversity can affect a community by adding. For example when Chinese people came to Canada they didn’t just come they burned their culture so now we have Chinese restaurants  but not just the people it’s also the provinces and territories.

 For example Ontario cities are more modern and squished but the cities in Nunavut are not as modern and this is more space. Another example is BC colder, relatively dry winters and hot, dry summers but in Manatoba moderately dry climate with sharp seasonal temperature changes. Winter’s temperatures are about −40 °F (−40 °C). 

In Alberta the more common job is farming but in PEI fishing is a more common job. Nunavut is in the North but Saskatchewan is in the South. BC is in the west but Quebec is in the East. The major cities in Canada are Ottawa the capital city, Toronto the biggest city in Canada and more.

Creating a Culture of Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace

 For example Ontario cities are more modern and squished but the cities in Nunavut are not as modern and this is more space. Another example is BC colder, relatively dry winters and hot, dry summers but in Manatoba moderately dry climate with sharp seasonal temperature changes.
