Kind, Passionate, Out-of-the-Box Thinker
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”
-Lao Tzu
Hi, I’m Lynn. Thank you for viewing my portfolio.
I am a voracious learner— I love to learn! My friends would describe me as very kind and efficient— I like to get things done. My teachers say I am a self-starter. I also feel like I am an out-of-the-box thinker.
I have many interests and hobbies. You can read about some of them below.
On the weekends, you might find me working on my Kendo skills or perfecting my Japanese.
Academic Pursuits
Our Middle School program includes Interdisciplinary Studies where we examine unit themes through project work, ELA/Humanities, Math, Science, STEM and Spanish as well as community service. I enjoy working on new Math concepts, especially when we are doing Math Seminar. I really enjoy all the subjects! Here is a peek at some of my projects.
PBL (Project-Based Learning) Unit on “VOICE”
My friend and I chose to explore how sound travels underwater.
Civics
This was a fun group project during our Civics studies last year.
Spanish
Here’s my presentation on Pablo Picasso for Spanish class.
Public Speaking
Inspirational Figures Presentation
In Spanish class last year, we did a project on presenting some inspirational public figures. My friend and I researched and presented an overview on Bass Reeves. I chose to present in Spanish.
Community Service
My peers and I have cleaned up the neighborhood, spent time playing games with, singing for and reading to the elderly in the local Eldercare Facility, among other great projects like packing lunches or personal care kits for those struggling with homelessness in our community.
I also do a lot of volunteer work in Mexico, which is where our former AuPair is from. She is the director of a local library in a small town in Mexico.
