Khmer Literature – Round 2

In the past several weeks of Khmer literature essential, I got to learn many new special lessons that made me feel very enthusiastic and enjoyable.
My classmates and I were preparing to make a Khmer poem book that made by Liger Leadership Academy students. I hope it will go well and I will let you know when it publishes.
Our facilitator, Sokha was facilitated us on how to read in a real way, how to put your emotion in when reading, read like you’re acting. That time, I was one of the characters in a famous Khmer fiction story. The story was called “កុលាបប៉ៃលិន” which means “Pailin Rose”. Pailin is a small province in Cambodia that borders Battambang and Thailand. I would say, it was one of the most joyful lessons of the round.

កុលាបប៉ៃលិន, the story I read.

At that time, two Cambodia traditional festivals that are known as “Water Festival” and “Kathina” happened. So, teacher Sokha wanted us to get to know our traditional festival and celebration. We were divided into teams to research about those two festival/celebration.
After I learned those lessons, I felt like more and more enthusiastic knowledge got into my wonderful brain and I hope to learn more lessons next round! Thank you so much for reading and visiting my portfolio! Have a great day!

Math – Round 2

Math is one of my favorite subjects that I learn here at Liger. During the second round of math, I got to learn many new things.

First, I reviewed some fraction lessons that we learned last round (Math Last Round’s link).

After that, I got to learn a new lesson about geometry. In that lesson, I learned about perimeter and area of the square, triangle, and parallelogram.

Then, I got to learn another new lesson, ratio. In that lesson, I learned about “finding ratio, equivalent ratio and combining three quantities.

Beside Lessons in the book, I was assigned to do some fun coding about math algebra on a website called Code.org. Khan academy is also one of the websites that helped me a lot in the past several weeks of math. 

One of the exercises I did in math class.

 

After I learned those lessons, I felt very enthusiastic in class and I can’t wait to learn more lessons in my wonderful class. Thank you so much for reading!

S.T.E.M – Round 1

STEM is a very important subject that we need to learn and have a bright future! STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineer & Math. For this first round of STEM, we focused on science.

So, what is science? Science is a study about the natural world based on logic and evidence. In this round of STEM, I learned about physical science, matters, atoms, ions, isotope, atomic force, quark, atomic mass, Celsius & Fahrenheit, physical properties, physical change and reaction, and chemical changes and reaction.

After a round of STEM, I learned so many new things and I hope I’ll get to learn more lessons next round. Thanks for visiting and reading my portfolio.

Multimedia & Technology – Round 1

Multimedia & Technology class had become one of my favorite essentials. In this class, I learned about research skills, some Adobe apps, and algorithm.
For researching skills, I got a lot more ideas on the basic skills to research. Example; you want to research the Great Wall of China. If you search The Great Wall, it will give you the movie, not the wall. So, to get what you want, you need to search “the Great Wall of China”. You need to search it will quotation marks and to make your search even better, and you don’t want the movie, you want the wall, so try to search The Great Wall -Movie, then it will show you the wall, not the movie because you put -movie, and it means that you don’t want to search about the Great Wall movie. These examples above are what I learn and there are many skills to research. The next lesson was about Adobe apps. That time, we started to learn only three apps first and those three are Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and InDesign. At that time, I got to teach my classmates about Adobe Lightroom and it went very well. After one week of learning those three Adobes, I made a poster in Indesign that included two photos I edit from Lightroom and Photoshop. Here is the poster I made, it’s the pdf file and I hope you will like it (Poster). I really enjoyed with those Adobe lessons and I hope I could learn more Adobe lessons. For algorithm lessons, I got to learn more about how to solve and get things done easier. The reason why it is in technology class is that algorithm is one of the basic needs in coding. Thanks for reading!

No Single Use Plastic at Liger

Plastic is now becoming the most popular thing that people use for packing food, to drink or eat something, and it becomes their habits. It’s almost impossible to eliminate plastics but I’m sure that we can stop single-use plastic. In this exploration, we wanted to start our campaign from small to big, which means that stating it from my school, Liger, then to the community, then Cambodia. Etc.

Since the start of our exploration. We divided into teams and brainstorm ideas on how to convince people to stop using plastic. Then, we went around the campus and interviewed students and staffs so that we could know what types of plastic do they use every day. We also organized the school, trash house to make it easier to put trash in. After that, we went around the campus and counting trash and the result was super unbelievable. We got thousands of plastic within one week in the school! That huge! That was just our school, what about the country, and the planet. Imagine how many are those plastics? Then, we started to think that we should start from something smaller, so we started to stop single-use straw first. We gave out bamboo and metal straws to students & staffs to see what do they think about it compared to plastic straws. We went to a cafeteria company shop in AEON 2 mall called BetterU and the reason why we went there was that they are brought grass straw to Cambodia and we thought it was very interesting. We also made a Facebook Page called No Plastic Cambodia and I hope you love it and don’t forget to leave a like. There we came to our last week of the first exploration! We went on our second trip to AEON mall to meet a person named Sandy who is from a non-government organization called Only One Planet. Her NGO is working on a project to stop single-use plastic and she made some cool biodegradable products that could replace plastic. And we got back to our school, we shared about the ideas to our school director. We’ve got so many more ideas and we went to ask our chef, Matt for price comparison between plastic to biodegradable. Then, we launched our campaign on the school assembly. On that same day, we were sharing and presenting about our exploration to many people on the school sharation (presentation) day. Thank you ever so much for reading and visiting my portfolio. Have a fantastic day!

English Literacy – Round 1

This is the first term of essentials in Liger Leadership Academy. English literacy is one of the most important essentials to participate in. In the literacy class, I’ve got to learn new and got more knowledge from my facilitator, Hannah and get to learn with the new class which is called the Lit Studio.

Everyday before the class, we always do the positive affirmation to make everyone feels comfortable and thinks optimistic in class. In this round, our big theme is about the history of English language. Every week, we’ve learned ten new words that we needed to know about the definitions, synonym, antonym and especially root words or where are those words come from? In the first week of the first round, we’ve learned about the pre English which it’s all about where did English come from. We also learned about the gods behind days of the week and what does it mean. For week two, we were learning about the old English which was from year 450 to year 1000. Beside that, we’ve learned about 10 new words that are related to eyes and ears. One of the most exciting moments was making teaching videos about those new words and shared it to my classmates. Then, we made it to week three which was the week that we studied about middle English. One day of that week was on the day we called “9/11” which was happened 17 years ago. We did some research about it and I thought it was an interesting thing to learn. Learning about special events in the past is related to memories. So, my classmates and I wrote a paragraph about our earliest memories and it made me feel very enthusiastic to write more about it. Let’s move on to the fourth week! During that brilliant week, we were on the way to the middle modern English which was very famous about William Shakespeare. Our facilitator made us read a article about Shakespeare and learned more about him. After that, everyone got a partner and our tasks were to research about anyone that is famous and read some biography about that person and my partner and I decided to choose Harriet Tubman. Then, we needed to plan and made a video about her biography and convince people to come to an exhibition that is mainly about her. Here is the link to my video (https://flipgrid.com/ac74b7) and I hope you will enjoy it. For week 5, we’ve learned about the modern English, which was from 1763 to 1989 which was the year that the second version of Oxford Dictionary published. Also, I wrote a cinquain poem about photography which is what I love to do in my free times. In addition to that, my facilitator introduced Mahatma Gandhi who was a perfect role model that took peace and independence back to India without any violence. October, 1st was the first day of the last week before Pjum Ben break. During that last week, we did an overall review about what I’ve learned and how well I did in the class.

Last but not least, this first round of English Literacy was one of the best classes I participated in. I gain a lot more knowledge and learned so many new words. Thank you ever so much for visiting and reading my portfolio.

Math – Round One

Math is one of the most important subjects that I need to learn and gain my knowledge and it’s really important for my future, too. In this first term of math, I’ve learned many lessons such as whole numbers, fraction and algebra. I was trying to make the best of my learning in this class and other classes.

In the whole numbers lesson, I learned about writing numbers in words and standard forms; adding, subtracting, multiplication, division, comparing numbers and estimating. For fraction lesson, I studied about proper and improper fractions, comparing fractions, mixed numbers, adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying Fractions. For algebra, we did some challenging algebra word problems but I did very well, too. Even though it was difficult, there are no right or wrong, it is our experience.

Seven weeks so far, I very enjoyed and I can’t wait to learn more lessons and do more exercises. Math is fun!
