Today was grandparents day! All three of my grandparents were here today. In class we contined going over the Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome rap. All of the grandparents, including mine seemed to enjoy Mr.Schick's lesson today.  He made it fun and enjoyable.  Jayla's grandmother was participating in the discussion. We had tons of people 'grandparents there.  It was great to see everyone enjoying their day with the complain of their grandparents.

Today in class we were given another class time to officially pick our group and our project. I am officially making a pot or bowl or something of that sit with Alyssa and Chesca. i typed up a little thing on the decorations on the ARS pottery. I am going to try to find something that would make a good pattern for our bowl. We are all ready. And Mr. G is going to help us out too.

Today in class we had a class discussion about the riots in Baltimore. Our class had a good discussion with different people expressing their opinions. We discussed the possible rioting opinion coming into Harford county and Bel Air. I wasn't really too excited to be talking about the riots because I had watched hours of the people broadcasting the riots on TV last night. In some ways I just don't want to hear anything about it, but in other ways i want to talk about it because it is important to know what is happening in our city. I think it is good that we are discussing it in school because it is something that everyone should be informed about and they should have a good knowledge of what is going on and hat has all ready happened.

Today in class we were able to do our homework or talk about our projects while Mr. Schick was finishing grading our papers. Alyssa, Chesca, and I got a .......... 99%.  Yay us. I am so happy about our grade. We did so well. We worked great together and got a really good result for our work. We were so close to a 100, but im not complaining.

Today in class we started our Rome unit. We took notes on some powerpoint that Mr. Schick had on the board. Mr. Schick had a guest who came in to talk to us about Rome. This guest was one of Mr. Schick's friends. He is rapper. He rapped all about Rome and the people and dates and such. It was hilarious. Everyone was video taping it. It was great. I think this song will make everyone ace the test. We just need to hear it like right before we take it and we will do great.

Today in class I completely embarrassed myself. I split an entire water bottle on myself. It was a horrible day in class. I was soaking wet and freezing cold so that didn't help and also the picking of our project went bad. we thought about ding pottery. It looks like its going to be hard, but we have some ideas. If we can get access to a pottery wheel then we should be able to do it, but we should have a backup plan too. Just in case.

Toady in class we started to think of project ideas. I liked how we could pick basically any type of project on just about anything that had to do with ancient roman and Romans. We were given the opportunity to pick our groups too. I have NO idea what to do.

Today in class we watched a video on the allegory of the cave. It was really weird. I was really confused on the video. It didn't make any sense until mr. schick explained to us that it could have been refering to Socrates and th unexamined life and other teaching of his. After, we discussed the video. We all seemed to understand wat mr. Schick was getting at with the whole Socrates thing.

Today in Class, we went over the test. I got a 92%!!!!!!!! I was surprised at some of the questions that people got wrong. I guess to me they seemed easy, but to others they may have been hard. It was probably hard to those who chose to not study. I feel very good about my grade. Now ive got to get my paper back.

March 31

Today is the last day of March and the last day to work on our projects. We finished up today with a few grammatical errors and spelling errors and usage and wording errors. I think all together our paper is going to be great and we will hopefully receive an awesome grade too. Now I need to prepare for this big Greece test. I think everyone will be pretty nervous for that tomorrow because it is going to be a HUGE test. I think it will be the longest and biggest one yet all year. I really need to study because I didnt really study all that much last week.

Today was the second day Mr.Schick was gone. It was a little crazy today. We got very little done in class but we told each other that we would all do our parts over the weekend and on Monday. Hopefully we will get it done by Monday and be able to put finishing touches and print it. We each finished about one or two of our paragraphs in class but we still have a lot to do. At the end of class we had a little over 500 words.

march 26

Today was the first day that Mr. Schick was gone. Alyssa, Chesca and I started working on our paper. Today we mostly did research and we also did the topic paragraph. We didnt get much done but it was a start. We also discussed some ideas for our essay. We are looking to get a great grade, but we need to learn each other's writing styles before we can get a perfect grade.
