Charity Fair Project Blog

Summary:For the past few weeks we have being doing the charity fair project.The charity is where students make items to sell to help a charity with cause. The charity fair has lots of aspects to it.We have had to work on a trifold poster,carbon footprint, product creation,charity research, ignite presentation with script,and other things.Those are the most important thought.The fair is a great project now you can learn more this awesome project.

Backwards Looking: Before this project I had a pretty good idea about are charity and our headbands. We had done another project with these headband. So I think we got a head start a little because we had some prior knowledge. On the other hand I did not even know what the carbon footprint was so personally that was a harder one to do. It was though because I got to learn about and now I better understand the concept. I think that we knew quite a good amount of information before we started so this project was easier.

Inward Looking:I am very proud of our project. Looking at it now that we are done I say we did a great job. I think it was a challenge for use in some regards and we did have redo some stuff but over all it was pretty good.I think next time we do this we will be better prepared because we would have prior experience. I would say that maybe we could make a few changes to our speech.We had actually gotten done a little early so I think we had our stuff together and we were on task.If I were to do this again I would probably say I would want to do work like we did this time. I am proud of our work.

Outward Looking: When people look at our work I want them to recognize the heart we put in this. The topic we picked is very dear to both of us and we care alot about it.I want them to see that our charity is something is very scary. We are supporting St. Jude children's research hospital.When we were doing this we had in mind the people we could help. I think our was different from the rest because we are kid and now what it feels like to really afraid. These kids touch our hearts because they are scared for their lives.This is what I want people to notice.

Forward Looking:If I could change one thing I would change a little of our speech. I wish I had added comparisons to us kids.I wish did this because the audience is kids and it go t heart more for them knowing it's kid just like them.I think if we added this it would make them think in a different perspective thinking that they could have gotten it too. Overall looking at our project I think we did a good job but the speech could a little touch ups.When I look at this project i am proud because of what's its saying and showing to people if we added this it would have kind of been the cherry on the cake.

Summary: This week we have been gathering information about erosion. We have been doing an activity that is teaching how terrain affects erosion and how much. we have had a sheet that is from a website.We  had to determine what the hill in this park should be made of and how high it should be.  We got to  find out and record the information and see what was the best. That is what we did this week. we also read bird brain and I learned about different ways things can erode.

SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information: This week we obtain, evaluate and communicate information. We saw how certain terrain can affect how much something erodes.for example it something has no plant and it high and steep it will erode a lot. I know this from are activity. I communicated my information with my supporting data. I learned it is very beneficial to used a silt and sand mixture to stop erosion. It helps keep everything in place you also want a low incline and your right there you have barely any erosion. This is what I learned this week.

Dirt and Soil

Summary: This week we have been learning the basics about soil.We have been researching background information on it to get to understand what soil is. We also have been learning about weathering and erosion. I was reminded that erosion is the process of moving broken down rocks. Weathering is breaking down rocks. We have also been learning about how soil helps us.Most of what we have learned is introductory. That is what we have been doing this week.

SP8: Obtain, evaluate and communicate information:This week we obtain information mostly.For example we go information from the book and website provided. We answered the background information. The questions they asked where mostly like what is soil ? ,what is soil made of?, what lives in soil?, etc. We did a lot of this kind of work thought out the week. We also watched a video telling us about soil and another video telling us about weathering and erosion. So this week we did lots of information gathering. Kind of laying down a foundation for the rest of the unite.
