2/24/2014 9:16:08Suu Kyimade the border for our carnival made a blue printmoat,bridge,ferris wheel,arcade,lots of simple machinethe ferris wheel and working arcade games aren't going to be easywe could probably do better (partner wise) because we have our general idea we just need to amp productiongrant us permission to go outsideSometimes. We may need a little help working better.

2/24/2014 9:16:31Suu KyiWe have researched about 40 different hints of why Tupac is alive. We need to read some Machaveli and figure out a way to show what we researched, like a website or a powerpoint.We need to research more about Tupac personally. So we can see if he was the type of person who would fake his own death.Yes. We have been working nonstop on our research. Yes. We have been working together nonstop on our research. No.Yes! We're awesome.

2/24/2014 9:16:37Suu KyiWe've begun to build our carnival and have been planning out the inside.Designing the inside of the carnival and adding itThat you should share any ideas you have because they could benefit the group. Also, when everybody focuses on getting their work done, it gets done easier and quicker.Partly, but at times we get too goofy and don't get our work done. When we're not goofing off, we are very productive.Partly, but sometimes we goof off too much. We can be productive though.not sure.Yes! We're awesome.umm...

2/24/2014 9:22:05Suu KyiI'm am still researching the page that I have found, and I,m trying to figure more terms and remember what I can and cant doafter when I'm done reading the page and I understand it I will move on to the programming and after the first of second time It should be easy and therefore a faster productionNot much Like I said I'm still working on the termsYes very much so. I've be looking up the terms as i go along

2/24/2014 9:21:54Suu KyiWe have researched different kinds of sugar we want to use for our survey, and we have started our survey.We need to finish creating our survey and have a bake sale, to possibly test out the different kinds of sugar for our question, and the bake sale is also to raise money to buy materials needed.We learned that sugar doesn't actually make you hyper, it just makes you act hyper, so we are going to do "What kind of sugar makes you ACT the most hyper" as our question.I think I kind of have, but we spent a lot of time on the perfume, and I was a part of that.I think we are now that we stopped trying to make perfume. On Friday, I was sitting on the end, and I couldn't really understand what they were talking about in the middle, and they weren't really talking to me that much, so I kind of felt left out.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.Nothing else I can think of.
7
2/24/2014 9:22:18Suu Kyiresearched different types of sugar and different recipes to compare to each other. We've also prepared for a bake sale we're doing to raise money to buy supplies we needWe need to plan when to do the bake sale.How many different types of sugar there are and what's in them.
Well, we spent a long time on the perfume which we ended up deciding to not use it. So that was kind of a waste of our time. We've made business cards which hasn't been that much of a waste of time, because we're actually going to use them.We've split up a few times to get different parts of our project done and it's worked pretty well.We're fine!!!!Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.Can we do the survey during class sometime for our experiment? If not we can just do it to our family members or somehow work the survey into the bake sale. We also don't know what recipes to use for the cupcakes, brownies and so on. Also we don't know if we should just use spoonfuls of sugar or use baked goods for the survey part.
8
2/24/2014 9:22:41Suu KyiWe have started making our planning sheet, figured out what dogs we will use, and what treats we will use.We need to figure out how we are going to find out which paw the dog uses when they get the treat. We have considered throwing the treat or placing it on the ground.-Genius is a lot harder this year
-We haven't really done any resesarch/experiments yet so
Sorta. Recently I changed my seating arragngement. I was sitting with people who made me laugh so hard and talk too much, so I couldn't get our work done. I think changing where I sat made a huge difference, because now I acutually get some work done.Pretty much the same answer as up top, Once we switched seats we started working a lot better.I don't think so. Our planning is a little rusty but other than that I think we are all set, for now. :)Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.Keep up the great work Ms. Espo. Your a really cool teacher!! PErsonally I liked the genius hour project from last year better.
9
2/24/2014 9:22:55Suu KyiE and I have decided 1 plant that we are going to do for our project. We have decided what drinks we are going to use. We have set up a folder for our Genius Hour stuff.We need to find 1 or 2 more plants for our project.We need to do additional research on flowers and plants to make this all work out.Yes, we have because we have been doing all the research we can and recording everything and using our drives a lot.Yes, we have we have been doing research and using our drives a whole lot. No, i don't think soYes! We're awesome.No, I don't think there is anything you need to know.
10
2/24/2014 9:23:23Suu KyiWe have started to design what we will actually make.We are going to collect our materials.There are things you just cant make.(watch with a laser)Yes I am usually the one who is kind of "in charge".When i'm bored in spanish class and I have finished all my work I I design some stuff.

:{)
Yes/kind of because we have gotten a lot of ideas and we sort of build on them.Yes! We're awesome.Are we going to able to do some other genius hour project? Let me guess if we finish early with the first one. :)
11
2/24/2014 9:23:38Suu KyiWe have researched lots of evidence on Tupac Shakur's death. We need to do more research to find more evidence. I have learned that Tupac Shakur is probably dead.NO we haven't we need to stop talking to other groups and focus on our own work.NoYes! We're awesome.
12
2/24/2014 9:24:13Suu Kyi We have set up a website for our project. We have decided to make a commercial, Do fundraisers, and post information about or project on our google plus acounts.We need to set up a schedule for our fundraisers and film our comercialWe learned that to set up an official charity you need to have at least 5000 so we decided not to do thatYes, every time we have genius hour I work hard on what we're doing and contribute important ideas and suggestions. I also have done some work at home on our website. Mostly. Sometimes one of our members goofs off or doesn't work very hard but we still
are working well and getting progress made at a strong pace. we have no big problems
NoMost of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.Nope Not Really
13
2/24/2014 9:24:39Suu KyiMy group and I have looked up how to make invisible ink, started planning how we are going to build all of the spy gadgets we need to keep planning how we are going to build the spy gadgets with invisible ink included we have learned that it's not so easy to build spy gadgets and that making all these cool things with invisible ink is going to take much more than just to buy the invisible ink and put some pieces together an tadaah!i have been off task a little bit but i know that i need to change because we have to have all the time possible and if i keep getting off task we wont get any were with our projectforthe most part we have been working good but wee need to e focused the whole time if we want to get some were with our project umm just keep a good eye on us and if we get off task just remind usYes! We're awesome.it is very hard
14
2/24/2014 9:25:38Suu KyiWe have decided to do a bake sale using different recipes but they all have to have the SAME amount of sugar. Then we are going to do a survey. So we have a complete plan.
We have made buisness cards that state what we are doing. So from now we can move quickly through the rest of our project.
We need to make a survey and what we are going to sell. Then we need to have our bake sale.We learned that it is going to be hard to find recipes with the same amounts of sugar. It also is going to be hard to judge the survey. It seemed that it would be a lot easier. Not as planning and not having to think so much.Sort of. I have gotten a good bit done but we could have been working on more productive things though I have been mostly working on mostly important things. So kind of. Kindof.. We have done a good bit bit but we could have done more. And we could have gone faster.No.Yes! We're awesome.It would be nice if we had more time
and days right next to each other so you can keep your train of thought
you don't have to keep going back on what you've already done
15
2/24/2014 9:25:53Suu KyiI have found out the structure of a bow and arrow (how to make one) and what type of wood to useStart building the bows and arrows. Find more materials for them. Test them out (not on school grounds). I might need to make changes to my question (the household materials?) In the middle. I am figuring out how to make the bow . I could be figuring out more materials.
16
2/24/2014 9:26:20Suu Kyiwe have made a plan on how to build itwe need to research more on what to do next we have learned how to be more cooperative some of the time has been used wisely to work together
17
2/24/2014 9:26:45Suu KyiWe have done a lot of research on other donation stuff and we made a website for our group. Our groups name is ECAA.Do a little more research and get started on some of the things we have to do like setting up fundraisers.We have learned helping people in a different continent is harder than we thought it was going to be.I think we could do better because a lot of other groups have already started and we are still on research and and have really started setting anything up. We are doing okay but need to get started quickly because we are still on research. I think we are okay and can solve any problems we have.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.Some people in our group has ideas and some people don't listen but I think we can handle it.
18
2/24/2014 9:27:40Suu KyiWe have researched different types of sugar and planned what types of baked deserts we are going to make with with the types of sugar.We need to organize when and where we are going to have a bake sale. And finish making a survey for the people to fill out afterwards. We also need to bake the deserts.We have learned that there are a lot of types of sugar. And that it is really hard to make the amount of sugar equal when baking different goods.Yes. I have done a lot of research about sugar and my group and I are almost done making our survey.Yes. Because we have done a lot of work on researching and we have done a lot of work on our survey.No. Our group works really well together.Yes! We're awesome.Our group is still deciding about how we are going to make the frosting for our desserts.
19
2/24/2014 9:27:23Suu KyiWe have set up a website, we are setting up a stand to raise money.Finding a bigger charity to give the money too.We have learned that finding a bigger charity may be harder than we thought.Yes I have been helping organizing times when we can meet to set up consesesions and when we can make the food. I have been helping come up with ideas of food to sell.We are going to make an Instagram for our genius hour.
20
2/24/2014 9:28:45Suu KyiT and I have made our question of course, and we have started working on a spread sheet to organize our ideas.We need to figure out who is going to buy which treats I think. We haven't talked about tthat yet.I've learned that I need to learn how to make a spreadsheet and that spreadsheets don't like me.I think I have been working hard, but I could possibly focus harder.
I think that overall we have been working okay, but we could probably work alittle more efficiently.I don't think so, but if I can think of anything that I need help with I'll ask you.Yes! We're awesome.I definately liked Genius Hour last year better than this year because last year we could pick whatever we wanted to do. This year there is more restraint on what we can choose from on ideas.
21
2/24/2014 9:29:09Suu KyiWe have gotten most of our designs drawn & made sure it's actually possible for 6th graders to make.
We have the instructions/ingredients for our Invisible Ink & Unpoppable Bubble.
Our necessary items such as shoes are already planned to be used & we know who's bringing it & such.
We have to actually start trying out the stuff.
Plan when we can meet up to try it together.
Get the black light we need for the Invisible Ink
We have to choose appropriate material.
Picking the "gadgets" that can actually be made by scratch.
Making an Ungoogleable Question is hard.
Working together ( without distraction) can really save you time to work.
At some points I can get distracted, which leads me to pay less attention to my work.
I can focus more on what I need to do to get the project done faster & easier.
Most of the time I will be researching stuff which is very helpful if I do say so myself.
97% of the time we are working on our project a lot.
The other 3% of the time we are distracted & busy laughing, as well as leaving the work & not finishing up what we had been working on.
We're actually at a good state. We have D & she always tells us to get back to work. Actually, we all put forth effort & we also get each other back on track.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.We might have a bunch of not working stuff as gadgets so yeah. We're not very good explainers......
22
2/24/2014 9:35:36Suu KyiWe have completed where to get the flowers.We will need to buy the flowers and decide on the cheapest kinds of flowers we can buy.That flowers in the winter are very expensive to buy. yes we have arranged who is getting what and to meet up somewhere to explain what happened. No because we have been talking to other groups.what types and the cheapest flowers to buy.Yes! We're awesome.Should we change our supplies?
23
2/24/2014 12:12:21EbadiCreated a survey and printed out and revised the results.We will gather data and decide what classes should be mandatory and what the school should look like.We have learned what most people want for electives and other classes.Maybe, because we have gathered data but every once in a while we waste a little bit of time.well, I kind've already did (look above)no, yelling at G will only make it worse ( but you should still do it :P)Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.NOTHING...
24
2/24/2014 12:13:04EbadiWe have built the prototype for the car. We think that we found a really good angle for optimum air flow.Test the air flow and possibly change the angle.Wings will give more lift the larger they are, but must be small enough to not achieve flight.Yes as I have already built the prototype but forgot the model car used to make the car go.Yes the prototype is already built.M is talking too much and being distracting.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.Genius Hour is a bit better but still lacks something.
25
2/24/2014 12:13:15EbadiWe have started filming and are currently starting are websiteFilm more and finish making our website and put the videos on our website That making a website can be difficult and challenging yes we have been productive and doing our work.Yes we have been filming on a weekly bases and have started our website.Yes, making the website is hard and editing our videos Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.No
26
2/24/2014 12:14:16EbadiWe have made a survey and done researchWe need to read the results and the next step depends on the results Lots of precentages and stuff like thatMostly, there was a little goofing off but we are definetly getting work doneYes, I explained this already Well with E just a little she is pulling us off track. Not very much at all really, that's all I can think off (for you to just keep an eye on us when she's here so that we stay focused) Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.We just need a little nudge in the right direction sometimes I think
27
2/24/2014 12:14:35EbadiWe have collected data, and analyzed some.Try to get an idea of what a perfect school looks like.Adults think differently form kids. Adults want more stuff, Kids want less.Yes. I have been reading all the responses, looking at what people want/don't want.I think we have been doing o.k. We fooled around a little, but worked most of the time. We need to focus a little more.Maybe help guide us on a couple of decisions.Yes! We're awesome.Nothing!
28
2/24/2014 12:14:47EbadiI have made a opening slide and i'm working on digging info out of the web A survey mite be in hand that some people think that sirtent animals should have rights, sort ofYes, i work on it at home and don't click on links that pop up even though they have nothing to do with what i searched
29
2/24/2014 12:14:55Ebadiresearch, minichart kinda thingy, polluhhhhhh I'm not quite sure. Ideas, researchlike percentage, people's opinions, etcI think so. yes, we have gotten lots of info and learned a lot. But I think our group gets distracted very easily. Our group doesn't stay focused easily... I think they keep getting distracted by P & C.
and I thought we were doing our project on women's rights in general, not just how much women are paid. I knew it was a PART of it, but not ALL of it. So C said it is just payment, and E says payment is a large part, but it's also women's rights in general. But I agree with E, I just don't want to put C's ideas down, if that makes sense!
Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.I'm awesome. Thanks for asking!
30
2/24/2014 12:15:11EbadiFirst of all, we thought of a question to answer for our project. Our question was: How to make the perfect school that matches everyone's needs?
Next, we made a response for our question asking people of their opinion about a perfect school (What they like, dislike, what to change, etc.).
Then, we got all our information and printed it out on a paper to study it much easier.
That's pretty much it so far!!
Go over all the information and see what people like the most on how to make a school.
Eventually we will work on the classes of the school and other things. Right now we are working on the exterior.
People really want to change the school and little people want to keep it the way it is.Sort of yes sort of no, we haven't done a whole lot of work but we haven't been exactally slaking off and doing nothing.Again, sort of yes sort of no, we haven't been completely on task but we haven't been doing nothing whatsoever. No we're doing fine together. We just need to get to work making the school.Yes! We're awesome.Nothing to say..
31
2/24/2014 12:15:38EbadiWe have been researching simple machines, rube goldberg, and contests we could enter. We also made blue prints, and multiple rough drafts. Now we are testing small parts of the machine, and correcting the blue prints. Oh, and we have made a supplies list.We need to buy some supplies, and keep testing small parts of the machine, then, make the machine.We have learned a lot more about simple machines, rube goldberg.Yes. I have been doing my role in the group, have made plans, and done research.Yes, we have been splitting up roles for each person. And everyone has completed their role. Let us use space outside the classroom.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.Nothing.
32
2/24/2014 12:16:05EbadiWe have made blueprints and started on our testing of the machine.Once we finish testing our machine, we will need to start constructing it. We have learned that making a machine is much harder than it looks.I have been using my time wisely, I have been testing the machine and going to the library to get book.We have been using our time wisely most of the time. But, we are still on the first step of testing our machine, so we might have to work a little faster.You could make us work a little faster, we would get more things done, but that's about it.
33
2/24/2014 12:16:12Ebadiwe have finished our blueprints, and material list.
P.S we are building a Rube Goldberg machine
My group needs to build our machine and tape our video.We have learned about different parts of a machine and how to build a Rube Goldberg machineYes. We have finished the important part allready.
34
2/24/2014 12:16:30EbadiWe have gone on websites looking up how to make paper (and ink) from a variety of materials, and then making links to them through our Genius Hour Google Drive document.We need to finish making links to some of the sites, since we haven't quite finished yet. Then, we need to review them, and make notes so that we aren't always clicking back and forth looking for answers.We have learned that options are limited because it's winter, and that some recipes are too complicated for us to do, or that they require materials or time we don't have.I think I've been using my time wisely, although I sometimes space out and talk a little too much. Last time, I spent most of my time reviewing recipes and making links to them. I think we've been using our time wisely,but I'm not very sure what G's doing.I don't think so.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.
35
2/24/2014 12:16:35Ebadi So far, I think we have completed a good hunk of research for this project. we haven't,yet, experimented so, I think we need to work on it. We need to do a bit more research before we try to do any experiments just yet. I'm kinda wining it try to do more research before we do anything.I'm a little scared to do this because, if something happens that we can't fix...i don't know. I've learned much about the art of wood and wood making. I've been using my time a little bad but I have done a lot of site looking to help us actually make paper. Personally, I was a little scared to do this with A, because when we were supposed to do the research proposal she waited to the very last minute before she did anything! A, did prove herself to me and the project by doing a lot of side work and helping me with mine. One thing that I think we might need help on is,like, an idea I have is that , we could go and collect samples of trees or grass outside to help us.Yes! We're awesome. We are okay and I think this project will rock!!!!!!
36
2/24/2014 12:16:39EbadiWe have collected lots of information on water cleansing and we have started designing our mini model and collecting materials for it. We will start making the model and figuring out what needs to be used for the real thing.We learned that we need to change our question because water desalinization costs millions of dollars. We have also learned about how to clean dirty water (Like boiling water).Yes, I have been collecting a lot of valuable information and doing some researcha t home, too. `Yes, C and I have been using our time very wisely and we our finished with step one and half way through the second.I think we are working pretty well.
37
2/24/2014 12:17:16EbadiWe close to finishig making videos for the website.We are now currently finishing our website.That we need to learn how to edit a website.I have been doing a lot of planning for the website.Yes,We are close to finishing our videos,we are now starting our websiteWe need some help on making our website,that would be helpfullMost of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.
38
2/24/2014 12:17:21EbadiI have begun drawing blue prints of my model. Next I will use my 200 dollar bugget to buy the supplies to build my "Party port pitch". I have learned that drawing a scale model is harder than you think. Yes, I use my time to approximately scale the model.
39
2/24/2014 12:17:38Ebadiresearch on ways to clean and disinfect the water start testing the different ways to clean water that it cost a lot to desalinate water yes i have learned a lot on cleaning wateryes but we should start working on the final product Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.
40
2/24/2014 12:18:08EbadiI have done some research and read some papers by college professors. I also read some papers that were suspect in their reliability. I seriously have no idea. I'll probably do some more research but I don't know where to go from there. I might try to do an experiment but I don't know if that's legal(depends on how I do it).I need to find some product that I can make because right now I need a way to go. I learned that for me to be sucessful I need something to work for. I also learned a lot about subliminal messaging but I don't think that's what this question is about.Sort of but I feel like I could be more productive. For this I need a goal and I mentioned that in the response above.not really
41
2/24/2014 12:19:21Ebadiwe are researching our subject a lot and cumming up with stuff we are doing research so after that we need to do all of the most important thing in our project like the writing part
when a person place or thing is doing "nothing" that they are still doing something such as breathing blinking or looking. We also learned that there is no possible way that something in the is nothing it is always an object a person or oxygen yes but occasionally i slack a bit yes most of the time we do our work like we should but sometimes we slack
+
no we work pretty well
Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.
42
2/24/2014 12:19:26Ebadiim working on a trick out of a trick book and i made my own trick.learn how to do tricks and be very good at tricks and show people tricks that i learnedi learned a trick where u get some cards out of the deck and mix them up and the person u do the trick on have to pick a card out of the pile i have guess witch card the person have in one try i do use it wisley and i do my trick on a lot of my peers in my reading group that im not very good at tricks but i can do some tricks
43
2/24/2014 12:19:53EbadiWe have tried to research weather nothing is something.We have to put it on paper so we don't forget.That it is almost impossible to do nothing, unless you are not born yet.Sort of. I have been doing research and trying to make a blog about it, but I have also
been making jokes with my group. I should probably not make as many jokes.
Sort of. we have both been thinking hard and doing work but sometimes we get off
topic.
Not really, we just need to focus.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.
44
2/24/2014 12:20:09Sirleafwe have found all the materials of the football helmet, and we have new ideas for new materials.putting all the new materials together to forma new kind of helmet.i have learned that you have to work together as a group,not seperate.yes and no,yes because we have got a lot of work done and made new designs. No because sometimes we can get off track we can fix it by not getting on other topicsyes because we have got a lot of work done and we have made new designs.noMost of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.
45
2/24/2014 14:15:31SirleafWe have done research and decided what plant to get.We need to buy the plant.That a lot of plants need specific conditions that we don't have.Yes, we have done research almost every day.Yes, we are working on some methods to torture are plant.No.Yes! We're awesome.I would like to have bean bag chairs.
46
2/24/2014 14:17:11Sirleafmy group has gotten some research on how oil is hard to put out.we nead to test out how hard it is for oil to put out.that oil is so hard to put out because oil has its own full so it keeps going.yes. because i have been working and doing research yes. because we have both been researching and finding out the answers.NOPEYes! We're awesome.
47
2/24/2014 14:17:39SirleafSo far we have written an e-mail to the SPCA and now we are writing a script for a phone call to the SPCA.Pretty much we need to make a call, website and a physical donation box.The SPCA takes a while to respond through e-mail.I feel like I have because I have been editing and helping write the script for the call.Yes, we have been editing and writing the script.We don't have any problems yet.Yes! We're awesome.Genius hour has been fun.
48
2/24/2014 14:19:30SirleafI have been researching and trying to figure out how to present my project Answer my questionA lot about black hole. The information totally change my perspective of black holes but I'm still trying to answer my question the books don't say much about it.Yes I've been trying to answer my questionI don't know how to present my project without being boring
49
2/24/2014 14:20:01Sirleafwe have found foams that could be used for the helmet.We need to make a helmet.That running backs get hit the most and get the most injuries.no,we have to stop joking and playing around

2/24/2014 14:20:07SirleafWe have figured out how to conduct the experiment, and researched what plant to use for our project.Find out when and where to buy the bean plants, and make them completely equal.That plants to NOT have brains, but can feel things and have "emotions".Most of the time I have but some of the time I am off task, which I will try to fix.Yes, although we are having some obstacles. Like finding where ot buy seeds.Not really.Yes! We're awesome.Nothing.

2/24/2014 14:21:33SirleafI have e-mailed Maurcie Jones to ask him if there are any parks in the city that aren't owned by Parks and Rec.Get Ideas to raise money and put that plan to action.I have learned that I should probably find out how many trees I should buy and the prioceYes, I have Drafted an E-mail, and been planning ideas for fundraising.I don't have anything right now

2/24/2014 14:22:22SirleafWe have researched about evolution and different examples of it, but because we have to change our question it may all be worthless.Changing our question since out old one doesn't work. It would be preferable if our new question could use some of the info we researched before so we wouldn't have to COMPLETELY start over.We have learned about fish that have evolved in just twenty years, and other examples. We have a GD document that has about ten links about evolution.No, I need to get more involved and put more effort into the project.No, we get minimal work done because we mostly just stand around, and we need to try harder and work better togetherTry to talk more with my partner and try to interact together more.Sometimes. We may need a little help working better.
53
2/24/2014 14:22:36SirleafWritten a letter,made a script for phone call.Make the phone call.That the SPCA is hard to reach.Yes I have,because I have made progress but right now I'm at a road block.Yes but we are waiting for the SPCA to email us back so we're at a road block.NoYes! We're awesome.

2/24/2014 14:23:17SirleafWe have decided what to do for our research, we know that we will be experiancing with a bean plant. We have been talking about how we will figure out if plants can actually think. We have figured out a place to put the plant when it is growing at a steady pace.
We need to, as fast as we can, buy a bean plant. We then have to do all of the experianments that we were planning to do.We have learned that plants do not think in a way that humans do. They think in way that reacts to chemical things. Like if the plant is being eaten by a catepillar it will react in a certain wayYes. I haven't been using my tablet, I'm not contributing in that way. But for example, on Friday, i was in the conversation that my group was having, and I was trying to give good ideas and things like that.Yes, but no. Most of the time our group is working together as a group. But on Friday, I noticed that A, A, and I were the only ones working. At the beginning of our Genius Hour time on Friday, E and V were looking up pictures of cute dogs. A little later V pinched in, but it didn't seem like he was in the convesationMaybe if you see that E and V, or any of us are not working or looking up stuff on our tablets that have nothing to do with ourproject, please stop them from doing itMost of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.

2/24/2014 14:23:20SirleafWe have written an email to the SPCA and written a script for a phone call. We have also done some research on the SPCA. We've also planned our website and flyers.We need to call the SPCA, and, if we get permission, start planning our website.We have learned that the SPCA does not respond to emails very quickly, and that senior and disabled animals are free at the SPCA, but people still tend to want to adopt the cuter, fluffier variety. Pretty much. I could probably talk a little less, but I've gotten a lot of work done.Yes. We've sent the email and wrote the script, and while we were waiting, we did some planning.Nope! Except letting us use a phone for our phone call.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.
56
2/24/2014 14:23:28SirleafI have started a Prezi presentation, even though there are some technology issues with that and I have searched the internet and the school library for information on the evolution of numbers, without much success.Maybe looking elsewhere for information or try to find out what the issue is with prezi.That prezi doesn't like me.
That the evolution of numbers is hard to research!
Well, in recent genius hour days, I have been busy with stems quizzes and poetry projects, so I have not had an ideal amount of time to research.
Maybe in coming weeks, I could try to approach forms of research other than google.
After all, it is supposed to be an ungooglable question.

2/24/2014 14:23:43SirleafThat micheal jordan has 6 rings and got the mvp award like 7 times or somthings like hatWe still need to find out more things he did and accomplished and how to make the game better That he made history and also he has 6 to 7 rings and like 5 championshipsnot that good but still getting work done and can you keep a eye on usKind of we need to stop goofing offkeep a eye on us Yes! We're awesome.GENIUS HOUR IS AWESOME
58
2/24/2014 14:25:11SirleafWe have researched on what plants would be good for an experiment like the one that we are doing and have watched videos talking about plants and their reactions to different things.
We need to buy plants (bean plants) and do some more research while we are equally watering and caring for the plants.
We have learned that plants in fact cannot think but they can react to different sounds and smells. After learning this we realized that we will have to slightly change our question.

For the most part, yes, but at times I have not been completely on task and have been talking about stuff that is not related to Genius Hour. I think if I concentrate more on the task at hand and don't talk a ton, I will be able to use my time more wisely.
i think we have been on task for the most part but we do go off and start to joke and talk about things that are not related to our project. We just need to concentrate. Sometimes some of us will be on task while others are not and that needs to change.If you see us getting too off task to put us back in line.Most of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.

2/24/2014 14:25:39Sirleaf I have made a drawing that will soon be my prototype. However, this is subject to change due to design flaws. Research. Research about the things that relate to how my prototype will need to work and how generators work. I have learned that I will need multiple generators to make the used water travel around in a circle I do believe so. I have been creating different designs to create this working engine

2/24/2014 14:25:50Sirleafwe have done research, found how long it takes for the plant to sprout, and what plants are good for indoors.get bean plant seeds and begin our talking to plants part!plants dont have brains, but respond to sound pain, and have memoryi think so. by researching and finding info on the plantsmostly. some of us were not on taski doni dont think so, but if there any tips then please tell usMost of the time, but we can solve our problems when they arise.were good i think!
61
2/24/2014 14:25:59SirleafWe sent a letter to the SPCA.we need to get a respones form the SPCA membersWe need to communicate better.I haven't used my time wisely. I should ask questions and yes we have used our time wisely because we done the letter and now we are waiting for
the spca to responed
noYes! We're awesome.

2/24/2014 14:26:12SirleafSo far M and I have been to the SPCA and we have researched the different types of animal abuse. We have also been planning a fund raiser to help animal shelters. Due to the fact that my parents are good friends with the people at Guadalajara I have gone and asked if they could help us save up jarrito bottle caps to help out with our fund raiser. We have also planned to research animal shelters that mainly get abused animals so we can compare them to your typical house pets.Next M and i have planned out to email the SPCA and ask if we can use pictures of their animals on a website that we plan to do.So far we have learned about different types of animal abuses and the different animal behaviors based on how they are treated. we have also researched different types of ways to make websites and reliable places.I believe for the most part i have. In class I try to keep researching things we may need to know for the further future. At home i try to collect the bottlecaps and do more research and talk to people that may know how to help.We have i believe because we both went to the SPCA together and split the work up.Umm? I dont really think so because we get along pretty well i mean it depends on if we can bring supplies.Yes! We're awesome.I dont think so.
63
2/24/2014 14:26:12Sirleafso far my group has found out how oil floats on water and why we've almost found out why oil fire doesn't extinguish
finish the why oil fire doesn't extinguish and then find out why how oil fire happens on the water why oil floats on water yes i have been because i have been doing the research we need to work more together noSometimes. We may need a little help working better.that it is fun with a cooperative partner

2/24/2014 14:27:44Sirleafwe did research on micheal jordan awe might make a thing on the blog or mj was somethingthat mj was the bestyes we've been researching every chance we get
