Ms. Lord was not at school today and Mrs. Gergely came in as a substitute. Mrs. Gergely told us about the funding opportunities that were specifically designed for WISE and also gave us these sheets for making WISE funding proposals. She told us that currently there's about $700 in the WISE fund and that this amount (plus more if we fund raise it) needs to be divided among about fifty WISE students. Some students will need a large chunk of funding while others may not need any funding at all. I'm one of those I think, or at least I feel as if I can cover the costs myself. Anyways, we were and will be brainstorming more ideas of interesting and innovative ways to fund raise.
Oh and presentations of WISE projects continued after that!

In Class Journal Part 1
Today in class we shared our projects. Natanya baked chocolate chip cookies for the entire class to show her baking process (they were so yummy!) and Jimmy showed us a bunch of his mixed martial arts. He seems super enthusiastic about his project, which is a very good sign. I liked how he talked about the Brazillian jutsu and such, and although I don't know anything about martial arts, he seems like he's doing pretty well.
Carrie presented a poem in class. And WOW was I stunned. I loved her emotion and strength, and I sorta wanted to yell "Encore!" except that might've been a bit too awkward. Haha. Slam poetry is her project focus, and what she's doing is presenting poems within 3 minutes. These poems are graded on a scale of 1 to 10.
Mary showed us her clowning! It was so much fun to watch her juggle and make balloon animals and talk about her adventures at the Camp Good Days Carnival. I love hearing how much people are enjoying their projects because it makes me treasure even more this class and how lucky we are to have this time to do something we enjoy.
After that, Jordan, Dylan, and Tara all presented. I didn't take any notes here because I had been a little too captivated by Mary's balloon animals slash I got to the bottom of my paper and decided I was done xD BUT Jordan told us all about his success in finally finding a publishing firm for his Star Wars study guide and Dylan showed us his super blue laser. Tara showed the class her oversized sketching journal which she uses to plan out the fashions to be created. It's actually really cool and I found it very interesting how she's actually making clothes and having models.
