Blog #4

Today we had some project time, but not as much because we had Star Testing. Nicolette and I needed to work on our lesson plan because we had no research AT ALL. We are doing the custom topic for the Mayan Civilization. i found out some things that we could use for our lesson, and when I got home, I went to the library to get some books on the Mayan Civilization. i cam up with this idea that we could use for our visual aid. We are going to have a box and on each side, many different topics that deal with Mayan Customs. I think we are going to do fairly well. We are also gonna have some Mayan food, probably some Mayan Chocolate Truffles, Tamales, and some Horchata. We got a lot done today.

My group finished the Steve Irwin skit, and I was the newt. I think I did a pretty good job. For the lesson plan, my partner and I are doing the Mayan Customs. Since Nicolette's mom is Mayan, I might go to her house to do the lesson plan and "interview her mom". I came up with a pretty cool idea for our assessment.

We have done our outline for the Steve Irwin skit. James is going to Steve Irwin. Nicolette and I are going to newts. All the people playing animals are gonna paint their face. PRETTY COOL! Since Nicolette bought the paint she only has to have one orange dot. That was the deal she made with the director of our group, Neil, and he agreed. my face is gonna be ALL black with orange polka dots. I hope the paint comes off.

For the past few days we've just been going over our Steve Irwin skits, bringing animals in, and a bunch of other cool stuff. My partner, Nicolette and I have been planning when to get our terrium, our animal, and our biulding supplies. Nicolette is going to get our terrium from her neighbor, we're gonna get our animal from this place called Mike's Pet Store. Hopefully we've have our animal soon!!
