A couple days ago we PRESENTED our design project so around 50 people. Our group in the classroom got chosen to present to all the parents and Zeeland government people. It was such an amazing time. I talked about the fireplace we designed and gave a brief about some others designs and someone in our group presented to be walking through the park to make the audience visualize what the park might look like and sound like and be like, the audience I think liked that, It was really fun. The people in my group talked about the splash pad idea, the pond, water wall, and the stage idea and the picnic table idea, and many more. the presentation turned out really good. It was fun to make and think about and so much more. Afterwards when we were all done presenting the clients (Mr. Klunder and Mrs. DeRoo) that worked for the city of Zeeland told us about what they thought and their ideas, then we got to get cookies!! I got FOUR WHOLE cookies in all. Yuummm! I got a brownie, a store bought cookies (you know the ones with allt he frosting and such) a Lemon cookie, (which was SOOOO yummy) and late rwe had extra so I also got an M&M’s cookie. It was all worth it.. haha. It was such a fun experience and I’m so glad we could help the city of Zeeland!!! Here below is a sorta good pic. of our model of the park.
Good morning Tori. Mr. Fischer recently asked if I would be willing to read your blogs and provide feedback and of course I said yes. A little bit more about myself…I live in Zeeland and work at Gentex. My children are 22 and 26, but I am also a middle school youth group leader at Faith Reformed Church, so in that sense, I have 40 or 50 ‘adopted’ children your age. My first thoughts on your blogs is that you have very interesting stories to tell and are obviously excited about the opportunity to share them. My only suggestion at this point is to focus on the flow of your stories and make sure that you don’t wander off track. Other than that, I am very impressed with what I have read so far and I am looking forward to reading even more in the future. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Mr. Werling! 🙂 Thanks for taking up the time to read my blog. awesome, wow thats a lot of children! thanks for the input about my blog!
Tori,
I saw an article in the Holland Sentinel this morning about your school’s design project. Very impressive.
thank you Mr. Werling! 🙂
