This is my family history project. I learned a lot of new information about where my mom and dad come from and where my grandparents come from. This is the e-mail I sent to my brother to hear his favorite memories or any interesting facts that he knows about our family. For my interview I decided to interview my mom and dad and this is the questions I asked, and their responses to those questions.

Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is. 

I think that teachers read to much into what the students do. We aren't going against the mold of the class when we show up late, we probably just lost track of time. When we don't feel like reading the section given to us we aren't giving up on learning we are probably just tired for doing this exact same thing for  hours before that class. This teacher is trying to say, stay positive about school because the rest of your life will be a lot harder. The main event in school is learning life skills that will help you succeed in what you want to do in your life.

Answer the following questions thoroughly on your blog.

What was your stop motion animation about? Why did you choose your video to be about this? Was it because it was easy, because it would be fun, or it would be challenging? Explain your reasoning behind your project (and be honest).
If you could rate your stop motion on a 1-10 scale. 1 being low effort and no very good and 10 being out of this world/mindblowing, how would you rate your project? Explain why.
In hindsight, what would you do differently the second time around? Better lighting? Time management? Explain yourself.
Explain what makes your stop motion animation unique. How do you believe you thought "outside of the box" on this project?
What grade do you feel you deserve on this project? Explain your reasoning.

My stop motion  animation was about a marker filling out a calender all by itself. I chose my video to be about this because I couldn't think of anything that hasn't been done and I had a calender in my room, and a dry erase marker. I chose this because i could see it being really easy but still looking cool in the end. Honestly, I put off taking the pictures until the very end and so I needed 200 pictures and I saw the white board and thought it would be easy. I would rate my project a solid 7 out of 10 because I think it looked really nice at the end but I didn't really work that hard on it. I like the end project a lot, and like the way it looks with the music and everything.

3 day weekend... how was it? Give me a good story or something funny that happened this weekend. Go.

This weekend was prom, so it was very fun. Something funny that happened was when we were at dinner, we went to kyoto, the chef tossed up a shrimp to my friend and it went down her dress when she tried to catch it. Then he tossed it again and it went down her dress a second time. That was really funny. Another funny story is when we were taking pictures a mom jokingly said jump and my friend Emma actually jumped and the picture that we got of it was really funny.

Did you complete the photo scavenger hunt? What kind of fun pictures were you able to capture? Did you do all your photos at school or did you do some at home over the weekend? Share one of your favorites.

Yes I completed the photo scavenger hunt, I walked around with Hannah and Colin on Friday and took the pictures. However, Adam is my partner. I liked taking the long shots and the birds eye view photos. I took all of my photos at school.

Tell me ALL about what your idea is for your stop-motion animation. I need detail. Who is going to help you take photos? What props do you need? Where do you plan on shooting? EXPLAIN everything. 

For my stop motion animation, I'm going to have a fruit salad make itself. There will be stairs that build themselves out of Lincoln logs. Then the fruit will go up those stairs and into the bowl one by one. Then there will be the fruit that needs to be cut up and peeled will do it themselves, the go up the stairs. Then it will mix itself and everything will be together and it will be done.

Tell me all about your weekend and please share photos!

On Thurday I went to Petland and did my story board about a trip to pet land.This weekend I had a volleyball tournament on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We did OK in it but it was a lot of fun because it was the Show Me qualifier and that is my favorite tournament for the whole year. They have all theses bouncy houses and trampolines and stuff that makes it really fun. I also went out to eat on Friday and Saturday. For Easter I got new clothes and good candy. I also went too the Nelson this weekend.

What do you love most about this time of year? Explain why you love it.

This time of the year is really beautiful. It is just now getting warm out now, so everyone is happier and the bright colors of spring are out everywhere you look. However, my favorite part about this  time of the year is days exactly like this. When it is warm outside, but still really rainy and humid. I like this because I love the rain, and I think it is really beautiful but I hate when it is cold and you can't actually go in the rain. It is really beautiful and I love standing in the warm rain. 

Edited Photos

What do you know about photography and/or photo editing? Do you take photos? How do you take photos? Do you edit photos before posting them on social media? How do you edit them? Explain any background or knowledge you have about photography and photo editing. Do you like it? Do you have any interest?

I know a little bit about photography because I sometimes have to take pictures for newspaper. I know how to use Photoshop because I like to edit photos a lot. I have taken them for newspaper with a nice camera, but most of the time I just take them on my phone. I have used Photoshop and I have also used square ready on my phone and other apps made for instagram. I like to take pictures because I like them to remember moments nut other than that I don't really care for them or have any interest in them.

Welcome back! Go ahead. Tell me all about your Spring Break. Include photos!

This spring break was pretty uneventful. My parents left for New York last Tuesday and then came back this past Thursday, so I was home alone for most of spring break. That was refreshing because my house was really quite and it very rarely like that.I finally got my drivers license, so now i can drive legally and i am very excited about that.  Also, I went to the ark a lot because it was so nice out.I got asked to prom over the break and also went prom dress shopping. On last Tuesday through Thursday I helped at a little kids volleyball camp and that is basically all i did for the entire break.

What are you doing for Spring Break?
This spring break, I am doing absolutely nothing. I have to take my parents to the airport on Thursday morning at like 4 a.m. so I am really unhappy with that. However, I am very excited that I will be home all alone for like 5 five days. Then when i have to go pick them up at the airport really late because they want to get as much time in New York as they can. Other than that I have nothing to do, except go to volleyball practice and hang out outside. I think we might open my pool  over spring break but I am not sure if that is a for sure thing yet, my dad hasn't decided that yet. Overall it will be a pretty boring spring break.

Tell me about your weekend.
This weekend I went prom dress shopping with my friends on Friday and Saturday and then on Sunday I played in a volleyball tournament for the whole day. I didn't actually find a prom dress that I liked when  went this weekend so I am still looking but my friends all found their dresses so thats good. I did pretty well in my volleyball tournament it was Power League so we could have gotten a bid from it but we didn't quite make it there, we almost did though. I also died my hair earlier this weekend and i really like it so that made me really happy.

If you were the Principal for a week at BVHS, what would that look like? What changes would you make? Why?

If I was principal for only a week I would let the students do what ever they wanted without any consequences because i would only have to deal with them for that week. That way i could leave the school behind before anything actually went horribly wrong and then the principal would have to deal with all of the truant kids when they got back and i could just be thought of the best principal ever because there was that one week when everyone got their way and it didn't matter.
