It was kinda fun to put the sand in the bottle but I don’t really think it helped that much with finding my Jewish identity. But I don’t really know much about my Jewish identity so it’s hard to reflect. But it was fun to do the project.

Book Club 1
1. One new idea from the book club is…
One new idea is that maybe there is more than just adoption happening. I think that there is a sci-fi element to the book. In the beginning, there is a plane that just shows up and the only people on the plane were babies. This is not normal in the real world.
2. The most interesting part of my book is…
So far I think the most interesting thing is when they’re at the FBI office. they find a lot of new information about what is going on in the situation around the adoptions. They also think they see a “ghost” at the office. There is a lot going on in the chunk of reading.
c3. In discussion next time I can grow as a collaborator by…
I think I can stop interrupting people when they talk. When we were in the discussion I was butting in a lot so that made it hard for people to get their ideas across. That made the discussion hard to keep running smoothly. I think if I stop budding in we can cover more topics.
E.T.C
What is going well so far?
So far the equipment has been working pretty well. That was one thing that we thought would be a problem.
What challenges have you faced and how have you overcome those challenges?
One challenge we had was the noise in the place we were working.But we found a nicer quiet place to record.
What have you learned?
I learned how to record songs and edit our videos.
What is your plan for the next quarter? Are you on track to complete your project? How does your plan differ from quarter 1? We are on track and our plan is different from the first because the number of songs that we are singing.
Racer-First Attempt
How well did the racer work? Did it go far? Did it go fast?
The racer went pretty far for just a spool and rubber bands. It didn’t go that fast but I went the farthest in the class. But it worked and I didn’t think it would work or go far.
What aspects of your design are working?
When we tested the racer all of the aspects worked except for when we rolled the rubber bands they got in the way of the racer moving.
What aspects of your design are not working?
When we rolled the rubber band around the Spool.The rubber bands got in the way of the wheels turn in that slowed down the racer.
What questions do you have?
Ome question I had was how can we roll up the rubber bands in a way that the don’t get in the way of the weels don’t get in the way.
How will you adjust your design?
Maybe I’ll can shorting the rubber nbands so they don’t get in the way of the weels.
Racer Ideas and Plan
How will you build your racer? We will build our racer by putting rubber bands around the spool then taping it down so it is secure. Then we will wrap the rubber bands around the spool so it can go forward.
What materials will you use?
- Rubber bands
- 1 Spool
- Duck Tape
- String
What ideas do you have at this point to make your racer go the fastest and the farthest?
We are going to use a spool so it can go faster.
- What questions do you have?
- If we pull the rubber bands then will it still mean that the rubber bands are controlling it ?
One Word Goal 2019
optimistic
I need to start looking more on the good side.I tend to look on the bad side.
I believe we should build…
1. I believe we should build a hoop house.
2. The three reasons I believe we should build a hoop house are we can make as big as we want and we can use compost to warm the hoop house and we can grow thing in the winter.
3. Include a photo from the internet (or a drawing you did) that would be used as inspiration for your ideal structure to build. 
Idea Take-away from Green Houses
1. What did you learn about Green Houses you did not know previously?
I learned that the reason they are not hoops like hoop house because the are built more substantially.
2. What is the most exciting idea/part of Green Houses you want to share with others?
They look really cool and you can make them any shape you want.
3. What are some cons of using/making Green House?
The are really heavy and expensive.
Social Studies Conference Goal
My goal/action plan for the next quarter in social studies is… to start focusing better by not drawing in class.I would also like to start participating more in class.
Milwaukee Farms Field Trip 10/30
1.Explain 3 MUST HAVES, in your opinion, for our garden (things you learned from the different farms)?
I think that 3 must haves in a garden are raised garden beds so the animals don’t eat the foods.A banana tree because bananas are awesome.And a hoop house so we can garden in the winter.And bees because there good for pollination.
2.Explain 3 MUST AVOIDS, in your opinion, for our garden (things you learned from the different farms)?
3 must avoids are having the garden beds on the ground. Also not having a lot of space.And not having enough sunlight would be bad for plants.
3.Which farm stood out to you most and why?
The farm that stood out to me the most was hunger task force because the space was very big and beautiful. And they had a lot of fish and that was extremely cool. But they had bees and i am afraid of bees.
4.Describe something you learned from the farms? What farm was it you learned from?
At teens grow greens I learned that it doesn’t matter if the have a farm or a spot of land in the middle of the street you can still grow a lot of cool fruits and vegetables.
5.Explain your biggest takeaway from our visits.
That it doesn’t matter if the have a farm or a spot of land in the middle of the street you can still grow a lot of cool fruits and vegetables.I thought that was cool.
