We were assigned to do a project based on ourselves, we had to include the things we love to do. I included a soccer player, basketball player, a dog, a cake, and a lighting bolt. These are all of the things I love, for my background I used a basketball court because I love basketball and it fit with the theme. Overall I loved this project because I loved how I could share my interest with other people. This is my link to my project:

Trial 2
This is my cake out of the oven
It was a big success, it could have been a little neater but it was better than last time.
The first time I baked the white chocolate cake it was a big success, but for next time I should try to make it neater.
Here is a picture of the cake
and here is a picture of inside it
For my passion projects I will be making a while chocolate cake three times, for the first time I will do the exact recipe but if something is wrong I will change it.
When I go to tech class I feel a lot more confident than I did in the beginning of the unit, I am also happy because it’s my turn for soldering and I’m so close to finishing my flashlight. I started my soldering when i went for extra help so I just had to finish it off, I had to put my other red wire on and my lightbulb, finished soldering, now it’s time for decorating my flashlight. I’m gonna be making a blue and pink pattern with hearts and gels. Now I had to just had to put my wires in my flashlight, that only took like 20 MINUTES but I gotta finish my flashlight, yay.
In our flashlight unit I am really behind everyone in the unit so I decided to go to extra help in the morning, that is really convenient because my bus comes in 30 mins early, so i just stepped on by. When I got there I was rushing, I got a piece of paper with my design of what I want my flashlight to be like. I asked my teacher to help me, it turns out I have to get my wires and cut them, that was pretty easy, i did it in 5 mins. Next I have to put a hole in my flashlight so the lightbulb could go through and I had to put another hole on the side so my switch to turn on the light. I had to redo my hole for my lightbulb because it was un even.
Now it was time to solder it so I got my wires and put hucks on them so i could connect them and then I started. I put the red wire around one end of the battery switch then a black one on the other side. After all of that it was time to go, I felt a lot better than I did before, I was happy
In tech class I see on the board to just take a seat at your spot and were gonna watch a video! I’m so happy because we don’t have to do work, after a couple of minutes the substitute tells us we are watching a video on the kids who got stuck in a cave from a really bad storm. While we were watching I found it very interesting that kids survived during this terrible event. The next day I go to tech and realize we watched the video because we are going to be building a flashlight
After recess I ran really fast to tech and grab my iPad. When I get to class I don’t even look at the board, I just got a cardboard piece and cut it into a big square. I wanted my last one to look a lot different from my first one, so I got a lot of popsicle sticks and stacked them on eachother with hot glue. After that I got two more, I put one standing up and the other one dangling off of it. Now I just had to finish it with putting on tinfoil on the popsicle sticks glued together and the one dangling off the popsicle sticks. When I was finished I was surprised because I only finished it in TEN seconds, now itś time for my next project.
When I walk into tech class I’m really happy because I finished the work we were working on, so I can work on our next unit. While I’m doing the next unit I notice that there is still some people working on their battery switches, I’m really confused because I thought it was due today so I go over and ask them. I walked over and said “why are you still working on your battery switches”, after I asked this they looked really confused and then they said you did all three of them. NOOOOO is all I was thinking, I only thought we had to do one, I was so upset. I wonder when it is due so I asked them, they said this Friday, gosh I only have two days. No more talking I have two days, I have to start.
I went back to my table and asked someone “can you give me ideas to do for my battery switch.” When I asked this question I knew what I was gonna do. I get a cardboard and cut two squares and rapped tinfoil around it. Tomorrow I have to finish my third one.
In science class we are doing passion projects, basically you have to choose a passion you desire for and you do a project on it. For passion projects I was gonna do soccer because I love it but I thought that would be to hard, I decided to do baking a cake. I love to bake cakes and I’m really good at making them and I make them a pretty decent amount of times.
