I went to Peru last week for my world language trip. It was really fun because I got to hang out with friends, see old ruins and learn a lot about Peruvian culture.  Seeing all the Incan ruins was really cool because I got to learn about civilizations from 100’s of years ago. The trip was really fun!

I am so excited to go to Peru on Thursday! I can’t wait to see places like Machu Picchu and Lima! After the class trip, I am going on a cruise down the Amazon! I can’t wait!

Last week was spirit week and it was really fun to see everyone strutting their school spirit being a team player. My team won Olympics which was really cool. It was the first time we had ever placed!

2 weekends ago I went to the women’s march. It was really cool to see everyone banding together for social justice. Last year I want to DC for the women’s march so this year wasn’t as big but it was still really cool. I hope women’s marches happen for years to come.

I am on the basketball team. It is really fun and its really cool because I am a starter and a captain. I love playing basketball and it helps me learn something new.

This long weekend I went to Disney World which was a very enlightening experience. I got to witness many different cultures even if they were recreated for the Disney World experience. I had a lot of fun.

Over winter break I did a lot of activities. I went to a lot of movies and they were really insightful into seeing the world in a different way. I also went on the Warner Brothers studio tour which was really cool because I got to see all of the sets I have been seeing on screen for years which was really cool. I also got to see a lot of my family which I barely ever see which was really cool.

For science my group created a project called smart trash which is a trash can that closes before it overflows. We chose a problem about the city and it was really fun to create something that could potentially fix that problem. It was really fun to create something original that actually works.

I have been doing crew for the Middle School Play which is William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. It is really fun to be on crew because you are never seen but you still get to take part in the show. All of my friends are involved in some way shape or form. It is really fun and now that the show is this weekend it is really starting to get intense. I am really excited for everyone to see it!

I have recently been working on my social justice project. We are focusing on menstrual health. When working on my project I have been able to learn about topics that matter in the world. Which is one of my learning values.
