Our piano teacher recently pointed out that when I say "Ella's at HAL" it sounds like she is in a much darker place. In the spring the kids in HAL (High Achievement Learners) worked on a passion project, which they presented at the end of the year. They could pick any thing they were interested in learning more about, and were supposed to spend a certain amount of hours researching and working on a presentation.
Ella could have picked anything. I thought it would be dance, or music, or writing, or stars, but she surprised me with "baking." She wanted to know more about how it works, and to do more of it herself. We ordered books, she did research on the internet, and she baked 3 different yummies (mostly) by herself. She made cookies and this power point as her presentation on what she learned. I helped with the execution of one or two things, but it is 99% her hard work.
