Day three!
Pooh Bear & I's global issue project.
Today, we were basically just getting our paper mache paste ready. After having an idea planned out for using different mediums of art and, the cutting of paper we did the day before, we completed it! Let me tell you for the future, paper mache is extremely messy! :P
Mainly, we just focused on finishing up the paper mache so we could put it on the side to dry up. It was really fun though!
Day two!
Pooh Bear & I's global issue project.
Yesterday, we were working on our project for the second time. The time we had to work on it was around 30-45 minutes which was really helpful in my opinion! We got working by cutting pieces of newspaper to make thin strips so they would be easier to work with. One of our mediums of art we are using is... PAPER MACHE!
Mainly, we focused on cutting the newspaper in strips, so we will have more time tomorrow to work efficiently on the paper mache.
Day one!
Pooh Bear & I's global issue project.
Today was the first day of working on our project and we made great progress! We were basically, brainstorming the themes and ideas we should include in our project using Corkulous. To be more efficient, we also were making a list on paper including all the supplies and websites we will need to make the project.
Mainly, we want to make our classmates think about the different emotions, of people in a variety of situations.
Hey everyone!
Today the Think We team attended a mini we day at our local high school! There were many very inspiring videos and amazing singers to keep the crowd entertained! There were also great activities that were really fun to do.
Aside from that, I wanted to mention that yesterday was the day of "WE ARE SILENT." Did anyone take the challenge? I wanted to mention that May 6-16 is "WE WALK 4WATER" day. It's where Spencer West and other people who want to make a difference in the world some day AKA agents of change.

(Sorry about the photo, I'm using an old laptop so it was hard to figure out screenshot.)
Over these past few days, I reviewed many different things about angles. It was basically everything we learned from last year, so it wasn't too challenging in my opinion. I learned that the vertex is where the angle meets. We also got refreshed from our summer brain and many of us remembered how to use a protratctor. You always need to start on the zero for a proper measurment.

What I found most challenging: Speeches
*Subject-L.A*
I think what I found most challenging was the speeches overall. I found it challenging choosing a topic that I could be able to present yet still some what ineteresting to the audience. Making my points not repeat was also a little challenging.
I enjoy that we get to learn more about the topic we choose because we are generally interested in it. Also, hearing everyones speech once they are all edited and revised.
I enjoyed watching the speeches as many of us were able to use it as a digital criteria. It definately helped in getting ideas flowing and what I could work on or watch out for.
I think I could improve by choosing a topic that I'm more interested in. Additionally, having a topic not so infrmational so the audience doesn't get bored.
It's not really a subject, however if I were to choose a subject in L.A, I don't really know what to suggest.

Hey everyone! Hope you have had a fun filled Spring break with a lot of relaxing and sleeping in! I've had a reasonably good Spring Break and I look forward to having school tomorrow. As a lot of you know, today is April Fools and I keep on getting fooled. Thanks a lot to my loving siblings.. Anyways, hope everyone had a good Spring Break as well.
Right now, I have to do some last minute homework, and if you are like me, you are a procrastinator.
Bye for now!

Today we had the spring fling which consisted of many different activities! However, certain students who do not really participate with the class did not get to go to it in the gym. I think the highlight of it all was doing the HARLEM SHAKE! :D
Here is the video!
Band tests will be coming shortly because we get our report cards near the beginning of March. Our band teacher has finally gotten better after being sick for almost a month! Other than that really, I have improved quite a bit on my flute playing since we had first started. I think I will do way better on my band testing this time, and to have this turn into a reality, I need to keep on practicing!
:)
