G.H. 2.3

     Welcome back fellow bloggers! The plan this week was to cook lunch, but things took a different turn. Instead I helped my mom make a Mexican casserole for supper. It was very good. I did the first part of the meal myself and then my mom finished it up.

        I began by browning the hamburger meat which is easy. That took about five minutes and then I had to chop up a bunch of vegetables. I learned a lot about what cooking utensils do what. The first vegetable I chopped up was a green pepper. I chopped it into tiny little bits with a large knife, only to  find out I could've been using a chopper that would've cut them up way quicker. I used the chopper with the bell peppers and then put them into the dish. After all the vegetables were put into the dish my mom sprinkled it with cheese and put in the oven. 

    The dish turned out super well, I only cried a little bit when I chopped the onions, and I learned a lot, so I'd say this week was a success! Thanks for reading my blog, hopefully next week I'll actually cook lunch and in order to do that I will need to reserve time with my with my mother and head to Walmart to get the necessary ingredients.

    Sounds Yummy! Besides the onions did you want to cry due to some challenges? Do you think you will cook this in the future?

    Jentry this is awesome! Cooking is so challenging and something I am not fond of. I’m proud of you for wanting to learn more about it! What is your favorite dish to make?

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 ...
