During the presentations today, I was able to learn a lot about everyone who presented. While everyone was presenting I was comparing in my head the differences of each persons culture. I found it very interesting to see that although we all go to the same school, and do the same stuff, we all come from very different places. I learned a little bit about each person. One thing that stuck out to me was when Maggie presented. I really liked te way she put everything together, and I liked the symbols she chose for gender roles. I thought that really stood out.
Today while everyone was presenting in class, I was doing what Lauren was doing. I was thinking how everybody's culture was similar and how they were different. A lot of presentations surprised me, and I learned a lot of things that I would never have expected. For example I never knew Hernan boxed, or that Sara played soccer, I also really liked what she and Maggie made. I also thought it was cool that Anthony has a little rock that was once part of a Volcano.
I learned a little about everyone today during the presentations. Like Avi likes the mets and that the first thing he learned to write was hebrew, Rosmarie took dance and Monica use to take soft ball. From these presentations I was learning things about people I didn't know to begin with.
Today while people were presenting I learned many things. I learned that Megan used to be dressed up when she was younger by her mother. Her mother used to make her clothes because she said that when a mother has a daughter it's like the mother is dressing up a doll.
What i learned from the presentations was that donna likes jason mraz, hernan only drinks out of a derek jeter cup, and that moses likes puting together computer stuff.
Today while listening to everyone's presentations I learned that all of us come from many different backgrounds. But one thing that stood out for a lot of people was their family. Whether it was big or small, everyone seemed to have a great connection with their family.
Today while listening to my classmate's presentations on their culture i learned that Sara Touzard is both Ecuadorian and Hungarian... i thought she was only Ecuadorian. I also learned that she would like to be a writer when she gets older. I also learned that Moses actually wants to be a Journalist, & not a mechanic. I always thought he did, cause he says cars are interesting to him. (that's an inference! :)). And I learned that Maggie wants to be a Marine biologist, & Lefkios is from Cypress.
Today during the presentations I learned a lot about my classmates that I didnt no before.Today I learned that Rosemarie is named afeter her grandma, and they now share things in common. I also learned and thought was very interesting was that Avi learned how to speak English before Hebrew, but learned how to write Hebrew before learning how to write English.
Today while listening to each person's presentation, the entire class was able to learn something about that person in relation to their culture. For example, Rosemarie was named after her grandmother and Zoe has a strong opinon towards animal rights and therefore has been a vegetarian for about two years. Avi learned and plays piano by ear and learned to speak English before Hebrew, but was able to write in Hebrew before English. Edina has a Pooh stuffed bear that she used to carry around with her everywhere until she was in the sixth grade and Jenna's family loves to travel. They've been to Florida, the Bahamas, Toronto and more. Monica has played softball since she was eight and stuck to it for five years and Victoria takes Tae Kwon Do (?) and competes in tournaments. Lastly, Sophia is fluent in Greek and took ballet for eight years.
Today from the presentation, I learned about of the Jewish culture from Stefani and Leni. They should their bat mitzvah invitations and certificate. They had to go to 9 years of Hebrew school and then the party was a celebration with family and friends, for being able to recite prayers in Hebrew. I found that interesting; as well Stefani talked about the Manra when for Hanakauh they lit it for each 8 days but there was 9 candles, the middle one being the one to light all of the others.
Today during the presentations I learned a lot about my classmates. I learned about there religions and I also learned about there hobbies and family memebers, and what they want to be when they grow. I thought that that brandon bryant's project was very interesting how all his family memebers gave him things before they died i thought that was very nice. Also I thought that Maggie's project was very interesting because I liked how Maggie put a blue surrounding around her presentation because she wanted to be a marine biologist i thought that was awesome. I also liked how Anthony Slati made his pictures and artifacts out of a house that was really nice. All of the presentations were very good so far and I learned more about my classmates.
From the presentations today, I learned that Avi is a huge Mets fan and learned how to play the piano by ear. I also learned that Rosemarie is named after her grandmother who would give her stuff with her initials on them. I learned that Edina had a cute Pooh Bear stuffed animal when she was little because she loved Pooh and took it with her everywhere until she was in the sixth grade. I learned that Jenna met John Cena which is a coincidence because so have I! I learned that Zoe has been a vegetarian for two years and is an animal rights activist. She even has a shirt that says "Cut class, not frogs," which is cool. I also learned that Sophia knows fluent Greek because she had to go to a Greek school, which she hated. Everyone's presentations were very interesting. :)
Today during the presentations I learned many things about all the people. Like the reason Leni made her batmitsfa (I know I spelt that wrong), and how If Erik looses his sidekick he would apparently cry. I enjoyed learning about everyones cultures.
One thing I learned today during presentations today was that Stefani and Leni both had bat mitzvahs. I like the story about Leni's grandmother and how it was intertwined with her invites and all the facts Stefani had were really interesting.
i learned that so far pretty much everyone is very proud of there heritage and not afraid to talk about it. also that the majority (,once again, so far) are hispanic. i am now excited to see the rest of the presentations to get to learn more about my class mates.
Today in class I learned alot of things I didnt even know about my classmates. Rosemarie was named after her grandma and that what her grandma passed down to her mom, she then got. Zoe is a vegetarian and she is Greek and Norwegian. Avi said that his first language was English, and he told our class that Hebrew is written from right to left. He also has been to Israel when he was 2, but he doesnt really remember anything. Edina brought in her old dog's stuffed animal that she still kept even after her dog died, because she wanted to show that it was still her dog was still in her heart. Jenna said that education was very important to her, and that her and her family love to travel. Monica loves the Mets and she played softball. Victoria did tae kwon do and her grandma tried to teach her Chinese but she never learned it. Sophia went to Greek school for 9 years and knows how to read, speak, and write in Greek.
Some of the things I learned today was how Monica had a locket that her grandma used to wear, and her mom, and her mom passed it down to her. And I never knew she was from an Indian background so that was pretty cool.
I also learned how Avi learned how to play the piano by ear, and he doesn't know how to read music sheets
I also learned that both Jenna & Monica met John Cena, haha that was funny.
I learned that Zoe wants to protest with vegetarians one day.
I also learned that Sophia learned to to read, write and speak in Greek because she went to school from 9 years.
These presentations made me learn new things about people that I didn't know about, and I thought everyone's presentation was pretty cool because there was also something interesting about them.
Today in class i learned, that gabby went to Puerto rico and she has a lot of stuff from there including a rain maker, that she didn't want at first. I learned the christian uses the word culture a lot and he goes to church and sometimes he may got to bible study. I learned that eric eats noodles that he think everyone knows about. I learned that adrian loves baseball and he brought his baby spoon to school today and that his mom wouldn't let him bring his plastic one from home.

And lastly I learned about Stefani's baby doll, and she presented her bat mitzvah invitation and I learned about the menorah that she presented to the class today.
Today in class, I learned about different religions and nationalities of my classmates, and how it affects them. I learned that Christian S and Gabby are both of Hispanic heritage and it is a part of what defines them
During today's class cultural presentation, I learned abundant amount of knowledge from my classmates. I was able to understand a individual better after they explained their culture and their passions to me. Avi's presentation allowed me to understand the person he is, and also all his interests in life are. He enjoyed MMA, which is his passion, and he has been training since he was two. This shows that he is a individual who is very committed to what he loves. From Sophia's presentation, her award for finishing Greek school indicates that she spent a lot of effort and time into learning how to speak Greek, therefore the language has became part of her culture. I think she believes that when you do something for so long, it will become part of you.
Today in class I learned a lot of things about my classmates that I never knew before. I learned that Hernan has a special Dereck Jeter cup and how he is the only one in his family aloud to drink it. I learned that bianca j likes to eat italian food, and how she goes to church and reads the bible and how she always wears her prayer beads to church. One presentation that intrest me was brandon's presentation because I liked the way he included his artwork and how his family members gave him cards or other things before they died. Also I never knew that Maggie wanted to be a marine biologist and that Moses wanted to be a journalist. I never realizes how many cultures there were in one classroom and how they are similar and different at the same time (Basically what Lauren said).
Today i had the chance to learn about cultures besides my hispanic culture. I learned from Leni and Stefani that having a batmitsvha is a very important thing, to the jewish culture. I also learned that In Adrians culture as well as in my culture, we share a common interest which is baseball. I also learned that in Erics culture noodles are part of his asian culture. Megan is from a hispanic background as well and i learned that for her culture having a female daughter is special - Christian Segura
Today I learned that a lot of kids in Period 8 like baseball and are very athletic. A lot of kids had a strong preference about their favorite baseball team. For example, both Avi and Monica said they only care about the Mets and Avi said, "If you're a Yankees fan, I really don't care".
I learned a lot of things today about different cultures. I think since Victoria was in my table, I saw hers up close better. I thought her 200 dollar jaket was adorable. (I personally think all baby clothes are adorable :D) And also Monica's were something that I enjoyed and I sortta knew about. She talks about her sports ALL THE TIME... I knew she played soft ball and enjoys Mets. Overall, I think today's class was a full of information day :D
In class today I learned that Donna's favorite book is to kill a mockingbird. I also learned that Brandon always wears his bracelet because he recieved it from his grandparents. Lefki is from cyprus, and Sara likes to play soccer. I was completely un-familiar with all of this information until the presentations were over.

SHe brought in her favorite sweater that had cast and dogs on it and was four different colors.

So that is a little bit about a few of my classmates that presented today
Today, I learned that Avi was a beach person, which is something that I thought was intresting because I am also a beach person. I also got suprised when I found out that Jenna played basketball, I didn't know that she liked to play that.
I liked the outcome of this project so far because I got to learn things about my friends and peers that I never knew before. I just hope that my presentation is as good as everyone elses.

~Today in class i learned that leni never really wanted to have a bat mitzah and that christian love shoes and when he wears the protecter for baseball it reminds him of his culture and how his mom is very protective and that adrian loves his mom no matter what and that he has a small family and he lives in a small apartment but that doesnt matter to him because hes happy for what he has and he likes getting together with his whole family but that only happens like once a year for him .
~This is what i learned from my class and there cultural projects.
I learned some things on peoples culture. Christian seguras "spanish Culture" is important to him. I also learned about Leni and Stephanies bat mitzafa was a big step in there life in terms of doing it for someone. I learned that Erik loves noodles.
We all have different beliefs and cultures. I learned that Leni and Stefani come from Jewish cultures and they both had bat mitzvahs which were very important to them because they had to go to hebrew school for a long time. Gabby went to Puerto Rico and she has a rock in the shape of a heart which she colored with her mom. Overall I learned that we are all very close to our family, even if they're small or big.something that all presentations had in common was that all of my classmates mentioned their mothers, this shows that mothers are a huge part of everyone. -Angela Rivera
I learned alot about my classmates, I learned rosemary and her family meet Sundays and eat Italian dishes. I learned zoe is anti animal abuse and that she is Greek. I learned that both avi and monica are bug met fans. I learned jenna played basketball and that her father is a sports man and is very interested in it. I learned victoria does tar kwan doe and that Sofia went to Greek school and that her first language she knew how to read was Greek. I learned alot about the cultural backrounds of my classmates.
Well, yesterday in class, I learned that Donna has holiday traditions on Christmas. Her and her siblings all sleep on the floor together in one room. I also learned that Brandon likes producing his own music and art. I found out that Joseph's father was born and raised in Africa, which I thought was really interesting. I also really liked how he brought in the actual traditional attire worn in Africa. This project is really great because I got to learn things that I never knew about people that I see almost every day of my life.
During the presentations, I learned much about my classmates background. Zoe is against animal abuse and took Greek dancing lessons when she was young. Avi is a big Mets fan, as well as a fan of Billy Joel, Queen, and The Beatles. Edina's father is a pastor who used to have his own church, but not anymore. Jenna played basketball and recieved awards for it. Baseball is a big part of Monica's life, and she, too, is a Met's fan. Victoria took tae kwon do lessons, as well as gymnastics. Sophia is very Greek oriented; she went to Greek school, listens to Greek music, has a Greek map, dictionary, and other books.
During the presentations, I learned about many different peoples' cultures and religions from their 10 important items. One thing that I learned from the presentations was that Moses wants to be a journalist when he's older and that he's attending WJPS mainly because of his goal. Another thing I learned from the presentations is that Brandon always wears his bracelet because it was given by his grandparents. I learned a lot about my classes' cultural backrounds.
When people were presenting I learned alot about alot of different cultures and many different artifacts that come from those cultures. I was also thinking of the cultural differences and simalarites that relate to my culture. It was really interesting I see all the different stuff that people brought in, because everyones presenttions have a little something special in it. Allison OHagan Period 1
In class, I have learned a lot about my classmates that I never knew before. I learned that Zoe is a huge animal rights activice and wants to hold here own protest some day. Avi is a huge Met's fan, and loves Billy Joel and the Beatles. Jenna created a really cool education cube featuring photos from here school years's. Marc S.
In class, I learned that a big part of Avi's life is theatre and I think it is really cool how he learned to write in hebrew before he learned to write in english (which is really young because he learned to write english when he started school.) I also learned that he learned how to play piano by ear and he can't read music and I think that's really cool because I don't think I would ever be able to do that. I also learned that he really likes the Mets and he loves the beach. He even described it as his "second home."
Yesterday in class I learned many different cultural facts about other people that I never knew. I jot down some things that interested me the most about each persons background. Rosemarie: She is Italian, named after her grandma and has a tradition to bake sweets when its her birthday or an occassion (they were awesome) Zoe: She is Greek, is a vegetarian, raised christian and is a big supporter for animal rights. Edina: Her father is a preacher, loves pooh, loves dogs and cats and music is a big part of her life. Jenna: She loves to travel, she is a Yankee fan, is Jewish and has met John Ciena. Monica: She is a Mets fan (Yay), she is from India, and has a family necklace that was passed down from grandma-mom-her. Victoria: She does Tae-Kwon-Doe, did Gymnastics, is Chinese and is learning chinese (not sure what dialect) from her grandma. Sophia: Her background is Greek, she is christian, can speak and write greek fluently, and did balet.
I am really interested in learning more about others cultures and I think this project was a great way to learn and show how culutraly diverse our class is.
I thought I knew a lot about my classmates, but I guess I didn't know as much as I thought. For example, today I learned that Andrew Villa is Italian and eats pasta every Sunday (just like ME!). I also didn't know that Edina's father was a preacher, which I think is pretty interesting. In my advisory, I learned that Anastasia was so into scrap-booking. That was also interesting for me, because I would love to start scrap-booking too. :) Also, I didn't know that Jenna had been playing basketball for such a long time. WHOA! (note to Jenna; the education cube was a cute idea!) I learned that the Mets are a big part of Avi's life, and also theatre is a big part of his family. I thought it was really nice that Rosemarie visits her Grandma every Sunday. Finally, I had no idea that Opal's Grandma is "shrinking" and that Ante doesn't like his Grandma. :D You learn something new every day :)
After hearing everyones presentation it made me aware of everyones backroudn and ethnicities. Although we all come from different places we all seem to have a common thing we enjoy to do with our culture and shapes us to who we are today. I learned a lot about the people who presented today and tuesday for example, Jenna keeps a memory box of her experiences and a cube full of pictures. Sophia learned to writein Greek before English, but spoke English before Greek. On Sunday nights Andrew Villa eats pasta. Avi can speak and write in hebrew very well, and Marc Silverman wants to deal with computers when he grows up even though his laptop crashed
I learned alot about the different people and differnet cultures in my class. Doing this project allowed me to see my classemates through a different prospective. Some things I learned are....
Rosemarie: - confermation gown - jewlery box: named after grandma, gave it to her, special bond - recipies: every sunday goes over grandmothers house and makes similar dishes
Zoe: - greek dance costume, CUT CLASS NOT FROGS t-shirt - animal rights - icon - book series - vegetarian for 2 years - NIRVANA CD

todays presentations were like a timeline of important events of my classmates. i learned alot about people from there pictures, sports and foods.i learned that people are shaped by there religion and what there familys belive. this is what i learned about other people in my class today.
I learned about people's cultures, and what hobbies they have, and things they do for fun, and any trophies they may have won. I didnt know too much about my classmates but since we did this project I learned alot more about my classmates
Today while listening to everyone's presentations I learned that all of us come from many different backgrounds. But one thing that stood out for a lot of people was their family. Whether it was big or small, everyone seemed to have a great connection with their family.

Monica played softball when she was younger and she played 3rd base and short stop.
Edina has a pooh doll that she used to bring with her everywhere she went. She stopped taking it with her when she was in 6th grade.
Victoria competes in takwondo competitions and got her black belt.
Today in class, I learned about different religions and nationalities of my classmates, and how it affects them. I learned that Christian S and Gabby are both of Hispanic heritage and it is a part of what defines them
During today's class cultural presentation, I learned abundant amount of knowledge from my classmates. I was able to understand a individual better after they explained their culture and their passions to me.
Avi's presentation allowed me to understand the person he is, and also all his interests in life are. He enjoyed MMA, which is his passion, and he has been training since he was two. This shows that he is a individual who is very committed to what he loves.
From Sophia's presentation, her award for finishing Greek school indicates that she spent a lot of effort and time into learning how to speak Greek, therefore the language has became part of her culture. I think she believes that when you do something for so long, it will become part of you.
Today in class I learned a lot of things about my classmates that I never knew before. I learned that Hernan has a special Dereck Jeter cup and how he is the only one in his family aloud to drink it. I learned that bianca j likes to eat italian food, and how she goes to church and reads the bible and how she always wears her prayer beads to church. One presentation that intrest me was brandon's presentation because I liked the way he included his artwork and how his family members gave him cards or other things before they died. Also I never knew that Maggie wanted to be a marine biologist and that Moses wanted to be a journalist. I never realizes how many cultures there were in one classroom and how they are similar and different at the same time (Basically what Lauren said).
Today i had the chance to learn about cultures besides my hispanic culture. I learned from Leni and Stefani that having a batmitsvha is a very important thing, to the jewish culture. I also learned that In Adrians culture as well as in my culture, we share a common interest which is baseball. I also learned that in Erics culture noodles are part of his asian culture. Megan is from a hispanic background as well and i learned that for her culture having a female daughter is special - Christian Segura
Today I learned that a lot of kids in Period 8 like baseball and are very athletic. A lot of kids had a strong preference about their favorite baseball team. For example, both Avi and Monica said they only care about the Mets and Avi said, "If you're a Yankees fan, I really don't care".

I learned a lot of things today about different cultures. I think since Victoria was in my table, I saw hers up close better. I thought her 200 dollar jaket was adorable. (I personally think all baby clothes are adorable :D) And also Monica's were something that I enjoyed and I sortta knew about. She talks about her sports ALL THE TIME... I knew she played soft ball and enjoys Mets. Overall, I think today's class was a full of information day :D
In class today I learned that Donna's favorite book is to kill a mockingbird. I also learned that Brandon always wears his bracelet because he recieved it from his grandparents. Lefki is from cyprus, and Sara likes to play soccer. I was completely un-familiar with all of this information until the presentations were over.

Overall i think the project was really succesful because i learned and shared alot of the same things with a lot of my classmates.
Today, I learned that Avi was a beach person, which is something that I thought was intresting because I am also a beach person. I also got suprised when I found out that Jenna played basketball, I didn't know that she liked to play that.
I liked the outcome of this project so far because I got to learn things about my friends and peers that I never knew before. I just hope that my presentation is as good as everyone elses.

-Nick Cinturati. period 2
When people were presenting I learned alot about alot of different cultures and many different artifacts that come from those cultures. I was also thinking of the cultural differences and simalarites that relate to my culture. It was really interesting I see all the different stuff that people brought in, because everyones presenttions have a little something special in it.
Allison OHagan
Period 1
In class, I have learned a lot about my classmates that I never knew before. I learned that Zoe is a huge animal rights activice and wants to hold here own protest some day. Avi is a huge Met's fan, and loves Billy Joel and the Beatles. Jenna created a really cool education cube featuring photos from here school years's.
Marc S.
In class, I learned that a big part of Avi's life is theatre and I think it is really cool how he learned to write in hebrew before he learned to write in english (which is really young because he learned to write english when he started school.) I also learned that he learned how to play piano by ear and he can't read music and I think that's really cool because I don't think I would ever be able to do that. I also learned that he really likes the Mets and he loves the beach. He even described it as his "second home."
Rosemarie Whyte
Period 8
Yesterday in class I learned many different cultural facts about other people that I never knew. I jot down some things that interested me the most about each persons background.
Rosemarie: She is Italian, named after her grandma and has a tradition to bake sweets when its her birthday or an occassion (they were awesome)
Zoe: She is Greek, is a vegetarian, raised christian and is a big supporter for animal rights.
Edina: Her father is a preacher, loves pooh, loves dogs and cats and music is a big part of her life.

Victoria: She does Tae-Kwon-Doe, did Gymnastics, is Chinese and is learning chinese (not sure what dialect) from her grandma.
Sophia: Her background is Greek, she is christian, can speak and write greek fluently, and did balet.
I am really interested in learning more about others cultures and I think this project was a great way to learn and show how culutraly diverse our class is.
I thought I knew a lot about my classmates, but I guess I didn't know as much as I thought. For example, today I learned that Andrew Villa is Italian and eats pasta every Sunday (just like ME!). I also didn't know that Edina's father was a preacher, which I think is pretty interesting. In my advisory, I learned that Anastasia was so into scrap-booking. That was also interesting for me, because I would love to start scrap-booking too. :) Also, I didn't know that Jenna had been playing basketball for such a long time. WHOA! (note to Jenna; the education cube was a cute idea!) I learned that the Mets are a big part of Avi's life, and also theatre is a big part of his family. I thought it was really nice that Rosemarie visits her Grandma every Sunday.
Finally, I had no idea that Opal's Grandma is "shrinking" and that Ante doesn't like his Grandma. :D
You learn something new every day :)
After hearing everyones presentation it made me aware of everyones backroudn and ethnicities. Although we all come from different places we all seem to have a common thing we enjoy to do with our culture and shapes us to who we are today. I learned a lot about the people who presented today and tuesday for example, Jenna keeps a memory box of her experiences and a cube full of pictures. Sophia learned to writein Greek before English, but spoke English before Greek. On Sunday nights Andrew Villa eats pasta. Avi can speak and write in hebrew very well, and Marc Silverman wants to deal with computers when he grows up even though his laptop crashed

Today while listening to everyone's presentations I learned that all of us come from many different backgrounds. But one thing that stood out for a lot of people was their family. Whether it was big or small, everyone seemed to have a great connection with their family.
