This week in ILA was a little crazy. The due date for the final project was fast approaching and a lot of the other students didn't get their proposal signed. I feel that we could have gotten a better layout and could just start working on it right away instead of doing planners and calendars. In art we are drawing water color landscapes and it's very time consuming but fun. I think I am going to miss the Academy next semester.

This week was only four days long but seemed to go by slow. I like the fact that we get to choose what our final project for the semester will be on. I liked learning about the commas and semi colons since at my grade school I never learned. In science I liked doing the alien periodic table. This week might have went by slow but was still fun.

This week was fun. At first it was slow because we had to finish our posters in Art which I thought wasn't very fun. Then the group leaders got to go to the sewage treatment plant and learned what happens to water there. It was very interesting and the guy made some funny jokes. Then we came back and watched the movie Tapped which was cool and sad that our way of life could have so many problems because we believe what big corporations want us to believe.

This week was pretty fun. I like the water project and can't wait to go to the sewer treatment plant next week. I also like how we got to pick our water project groups and that we get to work independently on them as a team. I also thought that the SNL skit with the secret ending to Of Mice and Men was pretty funny. I liked going down to the river because I felt like it was a break from the usual flow of things.

So far the academy is doing quite better then I thought it would do when I first joined. I liked the book Of Mice and Men because of all the seceret meanings in it. Like how they never said anything about racism but showed it without saying it directly. I like geography a lot now because of the new water project. I feel that I might need to work alot for my group but that is ok. I hope that in the future we don't need to do more typing in google docs beacuse that is sometimes very frustrating because of glitchs.

This week was short, only 3 days long because of thanksgiving. I like there paragraph work we are doing in English and the book Of Mice and Men is very good. I like the River stuff we are doing in Geography because I like to see how civilizations started. I also like learning about atoms and what the makeup of elements are.

This week went by very smoothly. I like the way we are learning now and I am getting in the way of things in the ILA. I like that now in English we are reading a fiction book instead of non-fiction. This book seems interesting and good. I think that government is going well and everything is working nicely together now instead of in the beginning when we were tried for time.
