We started out our morning with a fundraiser meeting! I think it went well and by tomorrow we plan to have a mission statement for our Costa Rica trip. Then we started school....
I did algebra with Mira all morning, and we got a full grade on the assignment! Brain break was fun as usual, and then we had PBL. I sent our project to an expert and am now waiting for a response. Once lunch came, I was starving! Then it was time for tennis. Tennis was a ton of fun, I got to play with all of the boys. (haha!)
After tennis, we came back to school and watched Channel One. Then I created a mission statement for the trip with McKenzie, ours was:
"OH Institute is traveling to Costa Rica to immerse ourselves in other cultures, to learn more about the language, and to give back to other communities through conservation and education."
Next on my list was choosing a book for PBL. I have decided to read, Before I Die, which is about a 17 year old who has Luekemia. She makes a list of all of the things that she wants to accomplish before she dies and sets out to do them. I think it will be very sad, but very good.
Now I have to go clean, I am on kitchen duty today!

Today was much like yesterday. We started off with testing! Then after that we had a brain break, which was fun as usual. Once it was over, we started our first flvs block. I have been very hyper all day since testing!
Next on our schedule was lunch and kickball. Kickball was pretty interesting today. I got an out by getting hit in the head, but then I was presumed "safe," but the other team didn't like that very much. So I let them get me out, because I would rather be a fair loser than a cheating winner. Once kickball was over, we came back to school and started flvs again. I did a module test for algebra and had fun talking to Alex and now I'm here, typing this.
Overall, today was not a very eventful day, but it was fun as usual!

So...
today was fun! It's the first real day of cool weather which I am loving! This morning we also had our first day of testing and it was all of the english stuff, so I hope that I did well on it. I really hope that I did good on the vocabulary part. It was definitely a different experience compared to last years testing, much more relaxed. I liked it.
Then we went out for brain break! Steal the bacon has been a popular game choice lately. After brain break, we then came back inside and started doing flvs. I was ready for lunch when it finally came time, and tennis!
Tennis was a lot of fun today. We got to play a lot of points and I enjoyed playing against Mitchell. After tennis, we came back and watched Channel One. We aren't having Design class or any music classes this week because of testing, so we went right into another flvs block, and now I'm here typing this. Overall, I think it was a great day and I had a lot of fun!

Today was just another ordinary day at OH, besides a change in schedule. This morning, I studied for my chemistry oral and did some of my creative writing class. At 10:15, we went to do a brain break. I always love brain breaks and they always happen right when I'm really getting antsy. Once we hit 45 minutes until lunch, the highschoolers got together and we worked on our PBL's.
We are doing one project together so that we all understand how to make these projects. Our topic is, "Are hybrid cars really beneficial to the environment?" Mira and I are working together on the last part of the project, and we are answering questions that have to do with hybrid/conventional vehicles and their relationship to the environment. It is a lot harder than I originally thought. This simple question is filled with so many opinions that pertain to so many things. But I think that our finished project will be really great.
After PBL time was lunch and tennis. Tennis was hot, as usual, but fun. When we came back, we were greeted by Mrs. Dana and Mr. Tim for DESIGN! It was great as always, we got to listen to music and draw monsters. But I had to finish early to do my chemistry oral, which was a success. And now here I am writing about my day. Now I have to go clean!
