WEEK FIFTEEN- Daily Log: Friday, June 8, 2007

• Today was a very graduation-centred day because almost all of the jobs were based on the ceremony. My first job of the day was to photocopy some sheets depicting graduation art. I left all of the sheets on Mme. Mercer's desk.


• My next job was to finish making the flashcards for Mme. Colonna. I had to first find some navy blue construction paper to mount them on. I mounted them with glue, and let the laminator heat up while I did this. I then used the laminator very carefully, and made sure that the papers were coming out nicely, without air bubbles. After I finished laminating, I had to cut out the flashcards, and I put them on Mme. Colonna's desk.


• Brian had been working on the power point today, and at random times he would ask for my opinion on something. We watched it a few times, and I gave my honest opinion, suggestions, and input pertaining to the powerpoint.


• Mme. Mercer then wanted me to put the grade eight graduation pictures into picture frames. However, before doing this, I had to fish out the eleven students who were on honour roll, because they would be put in other frames. For the other students, I had to pick a new picture of each person from a roll, and trim it down. I then would tape it to the frame to keep in place and then close the frame up. I had some help from about four grade seven girls, and they were amazing. This work was very particular, and was very frustrating at times. Once we finished putting the pictures in frames, I picked the honour roll students' pictures and set them aside in an envelope. Mme. Mercer will purchase their frames this weekend.


• I then worked on putting stickers on the recipes that the grade sixes had been working on. The stickers were of food, and were therefore very appropriate for the unit. I also put some stickers on some work that the grade eights had done. Today was a lot of fun because I got to see the behind the scene action in what it takes to plan a graduation. It makes me apprecitae my own grade eight graduation even more, and I'm sure that next year I will be even more reverent (high school grad). I enjoy helping out Mme. Mercer in any way that I can, and relieving any stress that she may have. This was a great week, and I'm really going to miss coming here every day. I worked for three and a half hours today.
