My grade for Humanities!

I would give myself a B+ or an A- because first of all our Pagoda looks almost like a real pagoda (except it's smaller)! Second of all we have a torri gate and a shrine which makes it look even more like medeival Japan! I think that I should get a little bit higher grade than my partner because all he really did was create a little fence thing to create a shrine...but that's all he really did for the terrarium....I made the entire pagoda (which wasn't that easy) and brought in all of the supplies!

My grade for the life science!

I would give myself a B! The reason I gave myself a B is because first of all my partner and I don't even have our organism yet! Second of all is because since we don't have our organism we don't have the manual that comes with it so we can't do much to prepare for it! And third of all is because although it hasn't come yet we still have our terarium and stuff ready for it!

Exhibition

Exhibition was pretty fun! It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated! Although every time someone asked a question he was always first to answer.... he never gave me a chance to answer. So I was kinda glad when he went around to check out other people exhibits so that I could answer a few questions! There was this one guy who walked around asking everyone questions about a lot of things! I later found out that he was a teacher who wanted to work at our school! The only thing that I was really bugged about was that our praying mantises didn't arrive before Exhibition started! But everything else was kewl! LOL when my mom saw the scorpions she freaked!

May 23

May 22

Okay so today I finished measuring everything for the pagoda and put the measurements on wood to be cut out! Again it took a while for the wood to be cut but it still got done! After the wood pieces were cut out I sanded the edges as best as possibly could, though there were still some rough edges! Then I put the pieces together with a hot glue gun! BTW this may sound easy but trust me it took a LOT more time then it may sound like! The hardest part was putting the roof on it! My partner and I were differing over whether to put a flat roof or a triangular roof! We ended up putting a triangular roof thing...but the flat roof would have been MUCH easier..JTLYK (just to let you know)!!!

Today we put together the pieces that we had gotten cut out by Mr. Strong! I would love to tell you that it looked fantastic and great....but I would be lying! It looked AWFUL!!! But it was the best we could do so we painted it a brownish color which made it look like a mud house! So I took a look around to see what everybody else's pagoda looked like! Brian and Cody's looked pretty good so I asked Brian how he made it! Then I went off and started measuring everything to make my own pagoda! I didn't get a chance to actually do it on wood though beacuse the day had ended!

May 18

Today my partner and I started to prepare our pagoda for our terrarium! Terry started on it and then when I went to check out what he was doing I saw he had already measured the pieces on a piece of paper and cut it out! So after that I took the two sheets of paper and gave them to Mr.Strong to cut out! Well, unfortunately that took a while because there were some people ahead of us also waiting for their wood to be cut! Finally there got cut!So we sanded them but didn't finish so I took a couple pieces home to finish sanding the sides!

Presentation!

Okay so on Monday my partner and I like presented and stuff! I think it went good! We read through our script while the power point was going. Then after that we handed out the word search that i had made and said that the first ten people to finish would get a prize and everyone else would get just a small treat!

I will have my script here pretty soon but it got deleted so we have to re-type it ='( ... then I'll put it on my blog so you can see it!

!!!<3

ugh...Again!!!

sorry, sorry, sorry!!!

kay so like on Friday (I think it was friday, I forgot what day it was!) my partner and I were still preparing for our presentation on monday. Kay so, my partner and I had already finished our script (and he did the powerpoint, of coarse) and so all we needed was an activity thingy. So, we thought of a word search! So, I went around our group and asked if other people from our organism would like to add a few words or something. Then I went to this website that Mr. Strong gave me (www.puzzlemaker.com) and I made the word search.....well the website made it for me but I like put it all together and stuff1

!!!<3

SORRY AGAIN!!!

OMG! I forgot again!

okay, so a couple days ago my partner and I were getting ready for the presentation that we had to do. Kay so, FINALLY my partner let me do some research for our presentation and stuff, and yeah so i did that! Yay!!! I finally got to do something!!

Sorry!!!<3

sorry I didn't blog yesterday but here is my blog entry .... for yesterday!

okay, uh, I didn't do very much today except help a little with our lesson plan. But since I wasn't here the day that we started the lesson plans then my partner already had an idea. So, he is already half way done with the lesson plan. We just need to do the power point. This time I will make him let me do something.

Okay, today we performed our skits for our zoomanities project! We had to include the ten facts that we each got from our field notes! There were two groups of us. In my group there was Terry (my partner) who was the african driver person! Forrest who was Steve Irwin, I was Terri Irwin! Michael who was the Bess bug, he was soo funny! Canek who was the camera man! And Cody who was the Praying Mantis! Terry wrote most of the script and Forrest helped! In the other group there was Sabrina, Brian, Cody, Matt P., and Noah!
