This week we have three different speakers come talk to us about water. For one speaker, we had to visit a water treatment plant. The guy walked us through all the buildings for the different steps of cleaning the water. Only 8 of us went of the field trip, while the others stayed behind and either worked on the art poster, or listened to the other speaker who came in. These speakers were supposed to give us information to help us with our presentation that is due Tuesday. My groups presentation is almost complete. We're nervous for the presentation.

This week we walked down to the Bark river and did water tests to see how clean the river was. After doing the water tests we had to carry a gallon of water back to school. We're lucky that we don't have to walk to the river every day to get water for school activities. In art we started to make a poster that advertises our association. My group is still working on our presentation for social studies. We are having a little bit of a hard time figuring out what we're supposed to present. Hopefully we'll do ok.

This week was OK. In art our group almost finished our video. If the video turnes out nicely it will be sent to different schools for the 8th graders to watch. We also started to move Of Mice and Men. So fare the movie is really good. There are some parts in the movie that weren't mentioned in the book, and there are also parts in the book that weren't mentioned in the movie. In science I think we are starting to learn about the periodic table again. Lake Country school had to learn about it last year, and memorize some of the elements on the table. Hopefully we won't have to memorize and more elements. I don't know what we're doing in Social Studies. Hopefully no more projects for a little while.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Finally its come! Short week with a long weekend! This wonderful short week of ILA was good. In social studies we had to look up different countries and how rivers and oceans effected how long they lived and how many people lived in that country. Yesterday in ELA we did a timed writing thing.... It wasn't fun. Today we have to preform our science skit. I'm nervous I don't do well in front of large groups of people I don't know. On my way down to Tennessee I have to finish Of Mice and Men, answer all the questions, do quotes, and explain what themes appeared in the book. I also have to finish Socail Studies. Its gonna be a long car ride to Tennessee, so hoping I can get it all done.

Last week in ILA my group and I were working on our science skit. Our skit talks about a sceince guy names Borh. Matt made the model for the skit since he wont be here to proform the skit with the group. In Socail Stidies we're still working on the Think globally and act locally. I have to find maps that mark rivers for Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. After finding the maps i have to do a correct sitation. In ELA we just started reading Of Mice and Men. I think this book is one of the first books that I'll actaully read all the way through. Its not that bad of a book. Im on chapter three right now. Excited to read chapter four.

This week in ILA we had to read a packet on Women's rights, and different races not being able to go to school to learn a basic education. In Social Studies we're doing a project that makes us act locally and globally. We have to look up which Assembly and Senate districts we live in. In science we're still learning about crystals and how they form. This all comes together in social studies which is the structure of government, ELA, structure of sentences, science the structure of a crystal, and art the structure of a clay object.

This week in the academy we learned many different things. We learned about sentence fragments, we're making crystals in science, and we learned structure of the constitution. Making the crystals is actually really cool. We finished our constitution, which turned out pretty nice.
We're starting a new book in English and I'm kinda excited. Some of my friends already read the book and said it was OK. We're also starting a new project in social studies, but I don't really get it. I don't know what else to talk about. But looking forward to this week in ILA.
