Hi, I am a student at Beechwood school. We have many different classes at this school but one of my favorite is IB prep. This is a class where you use computers and the latest technology to create projects. We also do something called "Make Stuff Mondays". This is where you create something with your own hands and use its data to fill out some worksheets. My favorite thing that we had to make for "Make Stuff mondays" is a Rube Goldberg simple Machine. For this project you had to build a simple machine that would knock a ping pong ball off its perch from five feet away. I love this project because I really like to do hands-on things and I like to build. We also do alot of projects using computers and the latest technology. We do this thing called a 20 percent project.The thing is though, is that it's multiple projects. Every month we turn in a small project whetherit's making a song, a poem or just writing a letter. We do these projects based on a subject thatwe chose at the beggining ofthe year. I chose clean comedy because I love to have a goodlaugh but not get offended. All in all, this class is amazing and I am just so thankful to have allthis technology in one classroom. The class is very fun and I'm glad that we have one more yearwith this it because I personally think that this class is the best one!
