  Hello reader, this is my action project for Drama unit#2 at GCE Lab school. During this unit my classmates and I learned about what a doll is. Specifically what a doll is in the context of a person. To look further into this concept my classmates and I read the play " A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen which is a play about a girl named Nora who is married to a man named Torvald who I call the " doll master" who made sure she stayed home all day with their children and would not let her eat cookies because it would make her fat.

  Hello reader, this is my action project for Cure unit#2 at GCE lab school.  During this unit we learned a lot about pharmaceutical medication. We learned  About how to read and understand a FDA approved over the counter medication label.  Things like active and inactive ingredients, dosages, intended effects, side effects, and poison control numbers. We also learned how common over the counter medication works.. We particularly took a deep look at painkiller medication and how it functions in the body.  We also got to have an experience with a professor from UIC who came into our classroom and taught us the FDA  approval process for a drug.

Overall I learned a lot this term. For this action project I created a slid...

 Hello reader,  This is my action project for Spanish class. For this assignment my classmates and I built a quipeneta doll. The purpose of this action project was to learn about fashion and clothing in spanish but also to learn about the history of  quipeneta dolls and Guatemalan culture. I learned how to talk about quipeneta  dolls in Spanish and how they are built. I struggled with using the -ir, -er, and -ar verbs. I liked the creativity of this project. This is my submission. Enjoy! Esta  muñeca Quitapena es como la estatua del "Cristo Redentor" en Brasil. Es un muñeca limpiapipas y la muñeca  lleva una capa gris y una cabeza  azul y las  manos  son de limpiapipas verdes. Su capa está hecha de algodón. Mi  muñeca Quitapena simboliza jesús christo, representa libertad. La gente come. Le gente decide hacer cosas. Estuvo conectado a christo y libre.  Draft of my doll:  My doll: FK, 5/9/22 " Quitapena Doll Draft"...
