This week was a three day week and basically all we did was have a bunch of work time which was awesome! Monday we went to Mr. M's room and retook the Matter quiz then we had work time to work on OMAM and the Social Stupids paragraphs. Tuesday we went to Mr. R's room and watch a video on rivers and why they are so important. After we went back to the room and got more work time. Today we are going to lab A and preforming our skits about the scientist we picked and researched about. I am so not looking forward to that! Before we do our skits for the sophomores we have to go to art to work on our video that is going to go to the middle schools and the little 8th graders are going to watch our videos about ILA. I hope they turn out really well! I love doing things like this!

Monday in ILA we took a test for Matter and Short Story terms. Between Monday and Friday we had a lot of work time to the Think Globally and Act Locally presentation. Thursday we retook the english test if we  didn't pass it the first time and retook the Matter test on friday. Thursday we went to art and finished our clay models and I must say they worked out really well. The test for the geography was on Wednesday. The whole presentation assignments is going really well and it's nice hews giving us more freedom and not many due dates! It's pretty awesome! And the book "Of Mice and Men" is just amazing! I love the book! It's also nice that we also have some what freedom with it too! It's awesome too taking quizzes, which we also took today, and taking notes to help me either understand the book in a different way, think about the book in a different way, or just keep track and find things easier. This week was nice and went smoothly! I like weeks like this!

This week was more Science and Art than anything else. It was a change but it was pretty cool. In science we did another lab that deals with matter, atom, element, and compound but all week with science we were dealing with those science terms and taking a quiz on them on Monday. For art this week we have been cutting out clay and making those science figures with them and we starting to put them together. (Sorry forgot the term that we call those shapes)

For Social studies and English we took a quiz for Social Studies and read two chapters on the government. Now the nest week or two we have to work on the presentation that Mr. R put up called Acting locally and   Globally. Which is pretty difficult for me because I suck at social studies and it's just pretty hard for me. Now for English we are still working on Of Mice and Men stuff. We also just did a presentation on mental disabilities and other groups did it on John Steinbeck, Migrant workers, Women's rights, and Salinas California. The group presentation was difficult because you had some people actually work but others played games the whole time or didn't follow directions. Now on Monday for English we have a quiz on different elements of a short story.

This week we only had ILA four times this week so it was a change. One of the days we finally wrote up the constitution for libya. It like in a way went smoothly but yet a bunch of groups didn't work or up as much as they could into their section. I also think the constitution was actually pretty good and it was a fun thing to do because I have never written one before.
Another day we went to Mr. Mechenich's room to set up our crystal growing lab and it was actually really fun! I'm excited to see how the crystals turn out but I bet Jakes and mine won't even grow any because we couldn't get a crystal on the string. Next week should be interesting because all week it's switching off between science and art!
Friday we then went to Ms. Millers room and got into our groups and we all chosen a question then did a bunch of research on it. After we left Ms. Miller we went to Mr. R's room and watch a really boring video on the government and nature and all that fun stuff!
