It was a really short week so there wasn't much going on. Monday and Wednesday we went to the Art room and we're working on our scratch art pictures. I'm so excited to see how they turn out! On Monday we had the a lot of the time to work on finishing out outlines for the presentation. Tuesday we got 15 minuets to go over our presentation's. After those 15 minuets we presented them, I think we did alright on our presentation but I know we could have done better. On Tuesday Mr. R came back! I'm so happy that he is back, nothing was right when he was gone and like the whole Academy was just like wrong. Wednesday we were given our Semester Exam Final Project and I'm so nervous about it, also the fact that it's our finals and it's completely new to me. Then Thursday we went to Mr. Mechenich's room to finish up our crystal things and write a refelection. After we went back to the room and Ms. Miller's sub gave us a lesson on commas.

Water Bottle presentation

There was a lot that I learned the past two weeks and in everyone's presentations. From Pete's presentation I learned that coke can clean toilets and engines but that's about it. Bottles have a lot of ups and downs, like they can be full of bacteria and chemicals. They can damage the environment and are very money costing but I'm still for water bottles and will be because it's a lot safer, healthier, and can become a nice profit to the school.

On Monday we worked on the periodic table activity and then we got work time to work on our speech outlines for English. Tuesday we went to art and did some final touchups on our poster's for our water presentations. After we finished that we got to choose a black and white picture if our choice, with that we are going to be doing these scratch out things. I have done one before but it gave me the lines to scratch out, not ones were I have to do it from my perspective. I'm excited but really nervous at the same time. After art we got even more work time to work on our water presentations. Wednesday we had to do parts 3, 4, and 5 in our periodic table activity's. After we got to work on our presentations, then around 1:30 the president of Hartland's Water Works came in and gave us a presentation, he then answered any of our questions we had for him. It was cool to hear were Hartland gets it's water, how it all works, and what they do if it's contaminated. Thursday we split up into 3 groups. One person from each group got to go to the Delhart water and Sewer Center, one of the other people had a meeting with Mr. Libscomb, and then the rest of the kids had to stay back and got to work on the presentation and their art poster's. The Delhart trip was awesome! It was so cool to see the building and get all of our questions answered. Friday, we had a periodic table quiz and I hope I  did good on it. Then we had a huge discussion about all the trips and activities on Thursday. It was a pretty eventful week but it was still pretty fun.

On Monday we two different groups switched between Social Studies and English. Then they gave us work time for our project with the water presentation. Tuesday we spent two hours in Mr. Mechenich's room reviewing Atom information, after we walked to Hartbrook park and collected data from the bark river. That was so much fun but it was so cold at the same time. When we walked back we each had to carry a gallon of water but sense some people were suborn and disrespectful, a couple other people and me had to carry two. Wednesday most of the time we got work time and for like 20 minuets we went to Ms. Miller's room to get a lesson on paragraph writing/format. Thursday we went to Mr. Mechenich and got a nice long lecture, My favorite. After we went to the room and had the rest of the hour's to work on our project. Friday we met in the North Campus computer lab for art, we are working on posters for our water testing. 9th hour we got to work time and 10th hour we had a huge English lesson.

On Monday when we got to class the teachers gave us, I think 72mins to work on the following; Of Mice and Men, River paragraphs/Importance, and Science Atomic Theory paragraphs. It was nice to have all that work time to do those assignments. Of Mice and Men is now my favorite book, but it did make me very, very upset at the end. After our work time everyone got split up into 3 groups and went with three different teachers. First I went to Mr. M's room and we conducted another science experiment with different types of water. After we went to Ms. Miller's room and corrected ours and someone else writing prompt. I think I did pretty good on it, I just have to work on details and a couple other things. Also we did another writing prompt for Mrs. Miller then on Friday we watched Of Mice and Men, which is an amazing yet depressing movie. In Art this week we started our video presentations for the 8th grade middle school's about ILA.
