Parashah Ki Tisa

In this parashah, Moses was on Har Sinai, with Hashem. Hashem was talking to Moses. Meanwhile, the Jews were waiting for Moses. They didn’t feel safe without him. The Jews asked Aharon to make a golden calf to replace Moses so they could feel safe once again. Aharon agreed to this because he thought it would take time to make the gold calf so when Moses came down, there wouldn’t be a gold calf yet. Aharon told them to use all of the earrings to make the calf. He thought they would refuse, but they immediately took their earrings, built a gold calf, and started dancing with the idol. Hashem saw this, and he was FURIOUS! Hashem was going to destroy them, but Moses refused. He saw it from a different perspective and didn’t clearly see what the Jews were doing. Hashem agreed with Moses and when Moses came down from Har Sinai and saw the Jews dancing with the gold calf, he was furious! He broke the tablet.

To be a better person, you need to follow certain rules and norms in a way to is similar to Hashem. Hashem wanted the Israelites to change to forgive them.

Innovation Day Reflection

Hi. It’s Shayna. I am going to tell you about what happened and what me and my group did. I worked with Minecraftman1 and Noa.

What’s the point of making an innovation day project if you don’t even have a reason? We had to do our project for a reason. We were asked: how can we provide electricity to community outdoor spaces using solar energy that still maintains the safety and “fun” asthetic of the space? Our hypothesis was :We thought if our solar-powered street light works, then it would be better for the environment because it won’t use fossil fuels to power the lights. We used Cardboard, hot glue, markers, glue sticks, aluminum foil, a tri-fold poster board, paper and a LOT of work. We made a solar powered street light with a photovoltaic solar panel. Our solar power street light would charge during the day and light up at night. We thought if our solar-powered street light works, then it would be better for the environment because it won’t use fossil fuels to power the lights. We made a great team. We listened to eachothers ideas and we made sure everyone in our group was okay with a decision we made before doing it. In the end, we all did a great job and everyone loved the presentation. We could have made our project a little bigger, and use more websites, a s well as doing a tad more research, but I think our project turned out AMAZING and UNIQUE. Here is a picture of our project:

Have a good day! Byeee!

Matching fractions

Today, we matched fractions on this website that Mr. Watters sent us on Google Classroom. We had to match them up and it was pretty fun! We had two different options; Fractions and mixed numbers. I did levels 4 – 6 on each mode.

Fractions

Today we explored Fractions. We went through a series of slides and then watched 2 videos about it.

There are 4 types of fractions:

  • Zero fraction: Is any fraction with zero in the numerator. Like 0/8
  • Proper fraction: Has no whole number part and its numerator is smaller than its denominator. Like 1/8
  • Whole fraction: When the top number and the bottom number are the same (The fraction is always equal to 1).
  • Improper fraction: When a fraction’s numerator is greater than the denominator.

What I know about fractions: Fractions are part of a whole, the types of fractions, mixed numbers, comparing fractions, fractions on a number line etc.

What I learned about fractions: Equivalent fractions.

Thank you for reading this blog post. Bye!
