Monday, we had a Science quiz and an English quiz. I thought the English quiz was really easy. It was on short story terms. I had already learned all those terms in 7th grade, so I didn't have to study too much. The Science quiz wasn't easy, but it too hard. I retook the quiz on Friday. I think I did better that time.
Most of the week, we had work time on the doing the Social Studies project, reading Of Mice and Men, and working on the science skit. For Social Studies, we had a discussion on the budget. I had to reduce the budget by 20%. It took me a long time to do that, but it was a good challenge. We also had a quiz this week on geography terms. I thought the quiz was very easy.
I am really enjoying reading Of Mice and Men. I think it is very interesting. I never really knew a lot about that time period, so it is interesting to read about it. The quizzes that we are taking for this book have been very easy so far. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book and finding out what happens.
We have finished our rough draft for our Science skit. I think it is coming along well, but I am nervous for when we have to present it. Some of the research was hard, but once we finished the research, almost everything else was easy. Hopefully our skits go well.
In art, we finished the structure and design of our crystal 3D figures. I think they look very cool. It was very fun to make. I really like to make things out of clay. I think that it will be fun to glaze them after they are fired. Hopefully, it will look very cool when the whole figure is done.
I really liked this week that we got mostly work time. I got most of my work done. It was good to have the freedom to work on what we wanted most of the time. Before the Social Studies test, we could chose if we wanted to go to the study session. I liked that we got that choice. I hope that future weeks are like this.
