This week we worked on our presentations that we are going to present to the school board again.  This time we are making presentations about water and relating it to our organization we are given.  We also, next week, are going to the sewage system of Hartland and we get to ask questions that we can add to our presentations.  Also in art we are creating posters that are relating to our organizations as well.  Our group is doing very well on the poster and are almost finished.  Great week overall, hoping for a better one next week.

This week we worked on our clay crystals and started a lab on water and associated it with the rivers subject in social studies.  We also worked on Of Mice and Men study guides and Key passages, and most of us finished all of our Of Mice and Men quizzes. Those who did got to watch the movie Of Mice and Men and we got soda and chips.  This week was great hoping for an even better one next week.

This week was only 3 days long because of our thanksgiving break, and I'm having a great time with my family.  This week we continued reading Of Mice and Men and took a writing assessment on a theme of the book.  We also continued to work our skits of our scientists and presented them on Wednesday.  I felt our group did pretty good, with the exception of me getting stuck on my third part.  Otherwise great week and can't wait to return to school on Monday.

This week we worked on a skit for science where we studied famous scientists relating to matter.  In our skit we created a story where Werner Heisenberg discovers what he is famous for and what would be done with his research.  We also continued on our social studies government project and I have finally caught up to where we need to be.  Next we have to do research on rivers and we have to read Of Mice And Men for language arts.  Awesome week and I'm hoping for an even better, 3 day week next week.

This week we worked on the social studies project where we need to find the districts and other information relevant to where we live.  Many of us had to retake the government quiz while the rest of us worked on the location part of it.  We also worked on creating crystal structures out of clay in art, because we're working on creating actual crystals in science.  We had a packet where we selected any crystal type we wanted and we created them by making basic shapes out of clay and used slip to combine them together.  That was very fun and I can't wait till next week to continue on that.

This week we worked on or Career Evaluations where we chose any career we want and relate them to Science, Social Studies, and English.  We also had to create pros and cons and a description of our job.  We also started a new topic in Social Studies where we are reading a book about laws and the constitution and we have a quiz on chapter 3 on Monday, which I think is a little too early.  Great week and hoping for a better one next week.

This week was great, being only three days.  We prepared the letters and presentations that were to presented on Wednesday to the School Board about whether or not we should have 1 to 1 learning throughout the entire school.  I feel that we all presented very well. I also was convinced that the Board was convinced that having 1 to 1 learning would be the better way to teach students.  We also worked on our video productions in art on Monday and Wednesday.  I think that all the videos will turn out very good, because we have put so much time and effort into them.
