G.H. 2.1

    Hey guys ! Welcome back to my blog ! As you may or  may not remember I am learning to cook this time around for genius hour and it is honestly off to a rough start. I haven't been cooking as much as I would like to be. My mother, the cook I want to shadow and have teach me a few things has had a very busy schedule lately. This has made finding time to get into the kitchen to cook with her very difficult. 
     Due to all the schedule conflicts I have decided to build on and get creative with some of the dishes I know how to cook. I eat eggs often and decided I would try to jazz them up a bit. I began by adding spinach to the eggs with some cheese. This was a pretty safe way to get creative so I decided I would try adding some unique little side dishes. I decided on having avocados and salsa on the side. This dish turned out really well. 
    Through out this first week I learned a lot about rolling with the punches and being flexible. My plan to have cooked a big breakfast this past Sunday didn't turn out as I wanted because my parents were out of town at a basketball tournament. This weekend though, I believe that my Mom will be able to help me try out a new recipe. If for some reason my Mother is unable to help, I will call my Grandma and see if she would be willing to let me come cook with her.
     Next week I hope to be reporting back to you with good news of making a new breakfast dish ! Thank you for reading my blog!

Learning Sign Language 1.1

      For my first week of Genius Hour I learned the ASL alphabet. It was a lot more fun than I expected. I used the The Comprehensive Signed English Dictionary and the pictures it has in the front cover of the book. I broke the alphabet into sections and learned the letters bit by bit. A through D was very easy to learn, and I caught onto them very quick. I really struggled on the letters F, S, and T. To fix this little issue I watched a YouTube video of a lady signing the alphabet and signed in time with her. Throughout the week I also filmed myself signing the alphabet so I could see if I was holding my hands correctly.        Next week I will be learning basic greetings and phrases. Phrases like: "Hi! How are you?" and "What's your name?" will be a very beneficial to learn from the start. Hopefully I enjoy learning them as much as I did the alphabet.

1.6 G.H. ASL

      Hey guys! Welcome back to the blog! I haven't been following my initial outline very closely, I thought why not shake things up again and take his week to learn about the ASL culture! I read a couple articles that really gave me some insightful knowledge. The first article I read was from Minnesota Hands and Voices. The article talked about the deaf community and the benefits of being involved in it. Being involved helps improve one's self esteem, gain fellowship and respect the use of sign language.      The second article I pretty much covered the same topics as the first one. It talked a bit more about how to properly identify a deaf person. The appropriate terms are "hard of hearing" or "deaf". Offensive terms toward a deaf person is "disabled" or "hearing impaired" are offensive. I also watched a video on negation in ASL. To make a sentence negative the most efficient technique is to shake your head.      All in all this week w...

G.H. 2.2

           Hey guys welcome back ! This week I decided I would make waffles to kick off the second week of my genius hour. I have come to the conclusion that breakfast food is quite easy to make. Waffles were a pretty cut and dry meal. I used Bisquick batter, and I personally hate the way it tastes, so I decided to add sugar to make it more flavorful.           After I read the directions, and got out the ingredients I mixed them up in a bowl. My mom said I need to be sure stirred the batter to the right consistency. The batter shouldn't be watery like soup, but you don't want it to be clumpy either. I stirred in search of the goldie locks consistency and once I thought I'd found it, I poured the batter onto the waffle maker.         A major lesson I learned through out this meal was patience. There were a few moments where I was so hungry and curious that I wanted to open the waffle maker early, but I ...
