I did not feel like I was in a race because every one could only fly 600 miles, but it was fun because everyone was so exited to come in first and win the race and the group I was in was called Lucky Airlines and we came in 4th place out of five groups!!!! 2. Our group worked well together and made good choices on what to do, also we all agreed on almost everything that we had to decide!! We agreed on were we are going every time we wrote a flight plan!! 3. Finding the right amount of miles that it will take to get to the destination and not going over 600 miles!!(which is the limit for how far we can go in one day) It was challenging because sometimes it was not right on 500 miles it was a little more and sometimes less!! 4. Our route from Karuz to Morrab because the team that one took a different route than the rest of the five groups so I think we should of gone to Robston not Morrab.!! 5. One of them is communication because we had to talk to each other about where we were going to go next and test each other on the the coded words and where to move the plane!!! Another one I thought I worked on is teamwork because we had to think as a team so we could fly to Morgan town and win the race!!

my goals for humanities

Goal one: I will try and be more confident when I make a presentation to the class or to the teacher by practicing by myself, in front of friends and also in front of family. Goal two: I would like to get better at writing by focusing on my organization. I will do this by brainstorm before I write and proof reading.

2. What was the most difficult part about making/presenting the cube? Putting the cube together and gluing on the squares.

3. What would you do differently if you were to do a similar project again? Try to cut on the line better and worked a little bit harder.

4. Which one of the AIS/D middle school competencies (see below) did you practice? Explain how you practiced it.

Communication because i did not know how to put together a cube or fold it to form a 3D figure so i had to communicate with the teacher to ask him how to make it or fold it. =__**Middle School Competencies**__=
