Personal Blog: 12/5-12/9

     It was a busy week in ILA.  Many activities were planned for us.  We did a lot of work for Science and Social Studies.  We also did some work for English and Art.
     This week in art, we finished up our videos.  I thought our video was pretty good, but I thought if we were given more time we could have included a lot more information.  We also glazed our crystal boxes.  I am happy with the way mine looks.  I've never been very artistic, and I never thought it would turn out that good.  Also, we started doing a poster to present with our Social Studies project.  The program we are using is really cool.  I never used it before, but I really like it and it is a lot of fun.  I hope we get to use it again.
     On Tuesday, we took a walk to the Bark River.  At the Bark River, we did the water tests that we have been doing for Science.  Also, we filled a milk jug with water.  Everyone had to carry it back to school.  Doing that was suppose to show us what it is like for people who live in different countries that have to do that every day.  I would not like to do that every day.  It was heavy to carry back, and it would be hard to do that for a longer walk or all the time.  I am very thankful that we live in a place where we do not need to walk a far distance to get water.
     We have been working on our Social Studies project.  For my group, the Water Bottle Association, we have most of our information, but our presentation is not 8 minutes yet.   We also need to do our outline.  Next week, we are interviewing different people to find more information.  I think that will be exciting to find out information directly from people who work in the community.  I am looking forward to finishing this project.
