Beginning of year Reflections

One thing that I have enjoyed this year is the teachers. Because, our teachers this year are super nice and funny. I also liked camp, becasue it was really fun. One thing that I have learned this year is how to be a better leader. We learned a lot about being a leader at camp, and it’s kind of weird that we are the oldest kids at our school now, so there’s kind of a big responsibility that goes with that. Some things that I look forward to this year is the eighth grade play, the lock in, and fun night.

My Boat for Science Class

 This is our boat and it’s called the Zeka boat. It is made out of a 6 by 6 inch piece of styrofoam that we cut, so that it would look more like a boat. Our boat is also made out of craft sticks, tape, straws, rubber bands, and tissue paper. We put the straws in the front with the hope that it’ll go faster, Then, we also used the craft sticks to hold up the sail. We used tape to hold it all together. Then, for the sail, we used index cards with tissue paper wrapped around it to hold them together, and we used rubber bands to hold the sail together. I think that the straws worked really well, but during our first trial, the sail was to small, so we had to make it bigger. Making the sail bigger made it work better, but it still was not a very fast boat.
